In an effort to ease the process of migrating the Maemo.org community over to Meego.com, logging in via OpenID has been introduced. This way you will not need to create a new account on Meego and it would become easy to link your existing Maemo.org account to Meego. If you have already created an account on Meego, even then you can use Maemo.org’s OpenID to link your old account.

If you are wondering what OpenID is, check this link out.

Using Maemo.org account to create new MeeGo login via Open ID

1. Go to http://maemo.org/openid/ and copy your OpenID identity.

2. Go to http://meego.com/user/login and select Log in using OpenID

3. Confirm your identity at the Maemo.org screen.

If you have an existing MeeGo registration, you can associate your maemo.org ID to it.

1. Go to http://maemo.org/openid/ and copy your OpenID identity.

2. Log in to your http://meego.com account and go to My account

3. Under OpenID identities enter your maemo.org OpenID from step 1.

4. Press Add an OpenID button and then Confirm on the Maemo.org authorization screen.
