Hildon Foundation Board of Directors questionnaire for candidates
This is a questionnaire that I'd like to see the Hildon Foundation Board of Directors candidates respond to.* I'd like this thread to foster some discussion, so feel free to chime in with responds to candidate answers or the questions.
I will try to mirror these to the candidates page on the wiki as they are posted.
*Full disclosure: That includes me. |

Chime in?
1. Home of the InternetTablet Community, including all abandoned souls and of course our phoenix Jolla (the device not the company) and its successors. Where do you see us in 5 years? 2. A legal tool to our community, preserving and protecting. 3. Legal Representative, supporting institution, as HFC/MCC is serving the community - BoD is too. Both need to work together, harmonize on a level, to achieve what community demands are! 4. Sure...I'd guess! 5. Seriously $put-bad-words-in-here? NO, I do not own Maemo devices and I do not maintain CSSU-stable and once and for all I never had anything to do with our server move or talk.maemo.org at all! Ask anyone! O_o (just for you reinob) 6. I expect they let us die out in the cold, I hope they still bring bugfixes - some developer still loves us and brought a patch with Nokia Link to N9... |

I'd hope that there might be increasing activity around Jolla (or something like it) in maemo.org over the next year, but movement in that direction must be organic and does not come from dictates or secret negotiations by the board. It is difficult to predict where maemo.org might be in 5 years, but if there is still demand for maemo.org's services for Maemo users, I expect to see it providing it. I'd hate to see maemo.org dwindle with the waning of the Maemo Community and would love to see renewed enthusiasm around new mobile open source ventures (whatever they may be), but the board's role is not to force a direction, merely to support the organic growth of the community.

The council is the representative body for the Maemo Community. The board exists to support the council in its role, offering advisement and fulfilling legal requirements. Quote:

The Maemo community introduced me to Linux and maemo.org is where I cut my teeth in open source. I've made many friends in this community (and a few enemies ;)), learned skills, discovered my love of writing, and had awesome adventures in far-away places. There will always been a special place in my heart for Maemo and its community. Why else would anybody run for this position? :P Quote:
I'd like to see some assistance from Nokia in chasing down any loose ends leftover from Nemein's maintenance and handover contracts (given the state that maemo.org was handed over to the community in, I'm not sure the terms of the contract were fulfilled). More generally, more assistance from Nokia in providing assistance in maemo.org-related discussions where a bunch-of-people-on-the-internet lack the leverage (like the Nemein issues). I'd also like to explore options for maemo.org to take on supporting Harmattan assets if Nokia is just going to jettison them out of the airlock. |

Seriously, those questions are just a low-pass filter. Unfortunately, there are cases where it might become effective. Cheers. |

FWIW, I've posted my replies on the wiki page.

Re: Hildon Foundation Board of Directors questionnaire for candidates
Well it seems to me that I'm the only one that is left. I nominetade myself when there were only 3 people and we needed 4 so 3 could get elected. I have never thought of myself as someone in a board but if I would get ellected (I hope not as 5 other candidates are much better) I would od my best to sort the easy things out like the comunication and information for the community in all maters related to HiFo and cooperatio with CC and so on. I like to now how things are here and there and I think that people deserve to just now what is uder the hood of the Board :)

Re: Hildon Foundation Board of Directors questionnaire for candidates
I'll point to my acceptance and thoughts as a first pass.
With regards to the questions: Quote:
Hopefully, we'll be planning the 10 year anniversary of the Nokia 770 to be celebrated in May 2015. In five years? Who knows. So much has changed in the past five years it's impossible to say. The only person who could probably get elected to the BoD and set out any sort of vision for maemo.org would be Mark Shuttleworth: he's got the resources needed to actually achieve what he sets out to do. (Note, that I think some of the problems with the previous Board has been the chasing of any possible "sugar daddy". The suggestion that maemo.org provided the repositories for Ubuntu Phone was particularly humorous, given Canonical's experience with running large-scale deb-based "stores"). Quote:

The Council have primacy with matters of the community, IMHO. Quote:

As GeneralAntilles mentioned in his nomination of me, I was involved in designing and building the very concept of the Maemo Community Council. The Maemo community feels like home. Quote:
