Guys, please. At this point, it's not about whose fail it is - it will be unpopular conclusion with many, but I'm perfectly sure, that everyone involved in organizing Maemo (myself included) have certain amount of fail in own activity records, even "community heroes" (no irony meant, in naming).

At this stage, it's about "unite and work together" in order to survive. Pretty, pretty please - lets put freakin' bloody' tight red line here:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

...and start cooperation with carte blanche. If one would ask me, how to define Maemo philosophy in one sentence, it would be... Hard question But, for me, the closest thing for that is:

"People mean well"

So, now, pretty please, everyone, lets assume that all people writing here, are meaning well. It's just a request from me, call it personal one, if you want.

Now, pretty please, could tech staff head write (again, I know, but it doesn't matter now) what actions (from legal entity) are required now, in, lets say, three blocks:
1. urgent
2. soon-to-be-urgent
3. required in long term

...and Board member(s) reply to all points, explaining what steps are/could be made immediately to fullfil those points, and, if appropriate, why some of them can't be made for legal reasons, and why? Then, propose solutions to make it legally doable.

Now, very important thing - please, write all of the above in strictly informative manner, without any single ironic comment, accusation, or regret. For a while, we're becoming CPU's given certain task, OK?

Same apply for election. I think that it's pretty clear, that Community want election, and it should take place for this and other (time limit, etc) reasons. SD69 was doing legal work around HiFo for a reason - please, write (in same, informative matter) what is exactly required to have this election legally appropriate for Hildon Foundation, how passing responsibilities should look, etc.

I'm perfectly sure, that we can handle this, if we hit "hard reset" now, and start cooperating from scratch, Otherwise, critical mass may get "achieved", with catastrophic (for community) chain reaction as consequence.
