Nominations for Q2/2015 Community Council Election
 
This time, I'd only like to nominate juiceme and peterleinchen.
juiceme is the cement between board + council and that's exactly what's needed IMHO. Can't hurt to have a director in council, it appears.
peterleinchen simply excelled in presence during meetings and engagement in current topics.
Thank you both, I hope you'll continue your good work.

And I wouldn't mind a council of 3, unless all 5 can commit to a meeting date that everybody actually is able to join. This will likely be dominated by EU interests (been around ~20:00 UTC for years now), so please check your availability when considering candidacy.

Thanks for the joke. I was actually on the last committee; can say that it was an eye-opening experience.

But I'm too busy at the moment, thank you. I'm quite sure Danramos says no too... he's busy in the Android world, no longer in the Maemo world.

My platform as a candidate is Maemo world domination.

My slogan is " Bring your shovels ..we got alotta graves to dig before the sun gets up"

Well ...I did try to tone it down...
My team of writers and spin doctors said I should aim at relating to the "disenfranchised" ...I mean really ...isn't that all of us? ...not sure what I'm paying them for.
And I ain't accepted yet.
That's just my "vote for me speech"
I get in ...I do believe my machiavelli and sun tzu will come in quite handy.

Oooh..
forgot to mention this is my party mascot...

I'd like to thank wicket again for nominating me. I have decided to go ahead and candidate. E-mail has been sent already.

Note that my online presence in the next few weeks will be sporadic, but I'll do my best to be present and answer any questions you may have.

Cheers.

I hope you mean "all except pichlo". I foolishy agreed to accept a nomination the last time but had to later withdraw it, causing some confusion in the process. I would hate to repeat the experience this time.

I still think you'd be a good contribution to the Council though.

BTW does anyone know where Estel may be? haven't read anything from him lately. Nor from sulu. Just two off the top of my head which might wish to candidate as well.

Re: Nominations for Q2/2015 Community Council Election
 
I'd like to remind all that the timeline to nominate candidates for Council ends today, so please hurry if you want to nominate or self-nominate!

As it happens, we do not have enough accepted candidates yet to start running a valid election!

peterleinchen 2015-08-02 17:52

Re: Nominations for Q2/2015 Community Council Election
 
I'd like to nominate
juiceme
juiceme
and

and more serious (not that above is not serious):
endsormeans
juiceme
reinob
RzR
Win7Mac
and
myself (peterleinchen)

endsormeans 2015-08-02 17:59

Re: Nominations for Q2/2015 Community Council Election
 
Wow ..ya gotta be kidding me..
I woulda thought with all the nominating we'd have a slew of candidates.
ok...
I endorse the nomination of all current council members who are running again ...being proved more than competent for the positions...

and as well vociferously nominate those individuals who have also been currently nominated who it is widely known their abilities exceed expectations .. [blanket nominating at it's finest :D]

and add to the list..
Dave999 [whom everyone knows and loves as I believe he fits the bill admirably and would make a fabulous clear-headed unbiased and impartially-minded council member]

To be more precise, we need candidates (self-nominated or nominees who accepted), not just nominees...

I always found it a bit unfortunate that Contemplation period was not meant for nominees to consider candidacy but for valid candidates to withdraw only.

At least that's how it used to be...

endsormeans 2015-08-02 19:30

Re: Nominations for Q2/2015 Community Council Election
 
aaahhh rightttt...
nominated parties have to have accepted the nomination...

hmm...
what we need to do then is pull out the "Special Reserve" from the cupboard and pour some down unsuspecting members gullets ...
shouldn't take much....
and then we'll have plenty of people accepting ...
they may not remember...but....
it does up the shanghi-ing to the oldest known and noblest level there is.
In other words...
Get 'em tipsy and even a stalwart 3-toad sloth will fall over in complete agreement and sign on the dotted.

Crap!crap!crap!
In retrospect...
I shoulda held out for my tot...my dram!
Too bloody late... already agreed BEFORE the bottle got passed around.
...bloody hell

Re: Nominations for Q2/2015 Community Council Election
 
As it happens, I got confused over the election dates, it is already over the nomination period :mad:

That's what being on holidays does to you... :o

Now, as we have not enough candidates yet, Council is deciding on how to proceed.

endsormeans 2015-08-02 20:58

Re: Nominations for Q2/2015 Community Council Election
 
Possibly a slight extension of the time-line under the pretext of extraordinary circumstances?
Is that possible?

Yeah, let us see.
As I need to follow you in self-accusation (also late) :(

Yes, it is highly probable that we will decide to extend the nomination period.
Stay tuned.

My take has been that Contemplation period is for the community and not for the candidates; that it is one week reserved so that members may contemplate the worthiness of the candidates, ask them questions and so on.

To make up their minds whom to vote for.

Ah...Good.

If more highly competent potential nominees are made aware I am running

then I'm sure I can provide fabulous incentive for more candidates to jump into the race.. :D

Re: Nominations for Q2/2015 Community Council Election
 
Well bloody hell...
that's right!
Well...
If nominations are still to be accepted for a short while....
I nominate HtheB officially by username then ...
if anyone deserves to be on council it is most definitely HtheB ..
this grand fellow's unswerving and tireless work for community is stellar.
