sounds good to me :) now to a more immediate but also important aspect of the election of the board (and, concurrently, the Council, of course). for the Q2 election we introduced the "wiki page" format presentation / introduction for each candidate. that's all nice and dandy but leaves maybe too much latitude to the candidate and the voters with to many unanswered questions. could we this time introduce a Q&A format, maybe a "mud thread" which would also put each and every candidate to the test of the daily churning of the Council activity (i.e. standing word and answer to the community on a thread)? |

Does anyone of the current council run again?

There were also a number of questions asked in the main thread here, and on the mailing list that each candidate answered. I would like to see the Q&A stuff on the wiki page again. I just want to make sure you're proposing something in addition to what was done last time, and not in replacement of it, as I think the last cycle the election went well and presented a lot of good information to those looking to vote. |

The Council has traditionally had a Chairman, elected by the Council shortly after they are elected, who is responsible for a few things on top of normal Council duties. (Announcing elections, speaking on behalf of the Council when one voice is needed, etc.) Quote:

Re: [Council] Maemo Elections (September 2012)
Although it has been clearly advised that any candidate can apply to both Council and Board, I'd like to share my personal opinion in this question.
Council activities can be very time consuming and adding Board duties to that, could be a bit too much for most of the people (real life issues, work, etc). So I really think it would be better to have different people running for each position. That would also prevent that in case someone needs to step down from Maemo activities (for whatever reason) we would loose a member of both organisations. I haven't decided myself if I will run again for Council or for Board, but unless we really need more candidates, I will only apply for one position. |

Why not just how long you've been rego'd at TMO & how many posts/thanks there? Many users who've only come on board since Harmattan won't meet this requirement, even older members in some cases. Seems a bit discriminatory..... Quote:
Also in the OP of this thread, it should be made clear exactly how many councilors & board members there will be, IIRC it was clarified in the by-laws thread. Quote:
(Assuming there's enough suitable runner-up candidates who can & want to step-up of course) Most users offering to fill these roles are already very busy in their "real lives", they're going to struggle filling one of the roles effectively let alone both. |
Re: [Council] Maemo Elections (September 2012)
jalyst, you can actually link your TMO account to maemo account to get the thanks and posts counted into karma...
Although IIRC it does take time for the above process to complete hence why I remember I wasn't allowed to vote in the Q2 council elections...I was too new...This time round though I think I may be allowed but ya there will be a huge number of users who won't be allowed to vote...Then again I'm not too sure how the karma system works and why its given that importance so I rather not comment on the appropriateness of karma... |
Re: [Council] Maemo Elections (September 2012)
I vote for jalyst!
Most posts should be president. Why use karma? |

Still seems a bit cumbersome, leaves out way too many people who dont even know about it & probably should be part of the process etc. But no doubt this has all been carefully considered, & this approach deemed the best option for a range of reasons... Quote:
