Re: I'm running for Community Council

Agreed. I don't want Nokia to leave, I want them to contribute. But if they decide to abandon Maemo, I think we need a plan B.

Re: Renaming "Maemo 6" to MeeGo / Harmattan

Re: Maemo 6 and/or MeeGo on N900: Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb

Re: Proposal: Project management software for maemo.org

Stakeholders are always a big issue, and you need to have them. You need to have someone who cares about the project as if it were their own, to see it to completion.
