Not entirely true - they are pushing linux distro's (meego, earlier, now that new thingy) for example. Realize that it is basically a bunch of companies who figure out together what the LF should be doing. Is that good or bad? Hard to say...

No, the LF is NOT pushing a distro (be it Moblin/Meego/Tizen/whatever).

That group is merely a bunch of LF member companies coming together to work
on a project in a shared area, which is what the LF facilitates for its
member companies. It does this for a number of different projects.

Remember, Meego is just like the "Carrier Grade Linux" project, neither
of which represent an "official" LF position at all.
