[Council] Meet the new Q2 2013 Maemo Community Council and inaugural Hildon Foundation Council
 

Dear Maemo community,

I would first like to thank everybody that voted in the recent barrage of elections. Since you seem to enjoy voting we plan to host a few more elections to keep everybody busy :)

It's a great pleasure to announce the new Q2 2013 Maemo Community Council

Rüdiger Schiller (chemist),
Joerg Reisenweber (joerg_rw)
Christian Ratzenhofer (merlin1991)
Michael Demetriou (qwazix)
Aakash Sadh (thedead1440)

and the inaugural Hildon Foundation Council

I am very happy to be able to serve maemo for another term, and I am even happier to have the opportunity to collaborate with people that have offered so much to this community and spent timeless hours to keep maemo alive and kicking. I firmly believe that all of us will do whatever possible (and even more) to help this community prosper, now that the hardest part is behind us. The formal hand-off will occur at the Council meeting, Friday at 18:00 UTC on #maemo-meeting (on IRC/freenode).

Remember, the position of Council member is completely voluntary and unpaid. Both councils are serving you, the Maemo Community, in their free time, out of a passion for what Maemo is and means, and of course, of what it can become.

Once again, thank you all for the ongoing support. This Council only exists because of you.

Yours,

Michael Demetriou

on behalf of the outgoing Maemo Community Council

Is there any news about the way forward, given that the two councils have different representatives?

And for those who couldn't attend, here's the log: http://mg.pov.lt/maemo-meeting-irclo...05-10.log.html - a worthwhile read to get an idea of what the situation actually is (or not) about council(s), HiFo and your' donations. :eek:
Please read the linked page above in full to see where the problem actually hides for certain things not getting done. By the way, believe it or not, YOUR Hildon Foundations' secretary is SD69...
Next elections will be even more cruicial, so you'd better not be too late nor have something "better" to do during *that* voting-period...
Community counts on you, just like the other way round!
