Hi, following the Maemo community activities has been always an intensive task but still was relatively feasible in the past. Not anymore, and we don't expect the volume of communication to diminish.

So what about agreeing on the channels that we officially follow? I think this is also useful for the own community members willing to know what is really going on.

• Bugzilla: all software related problems to be reported there. The Bugsquad team helps triaging and prioritizing.
• Brainstorm: feature proposals. Votes and popularity count. How you negotiate this with Bugzilla enhancements is up to you.
• http://maemo.org/news highlights. Karma news count.
• http://maemo.org/downloads. The most popular apps there are candidates to be promoted in Maemo Select.
• maemo-developers list and Development forum at talk.maemo.org. Support channels for developers. We do our best answering developer questions there.
• Community forum and maemo.org development sprints for any support to the web / community infrastructure.
• The Maemo community council has a red telephone to be used as they wish.

This means that everybody willing to interface and influence the Maemo Devices team can

• Vote, comment, test and file bugs. And also get involved in the Bugsquad team.
• Rate ideas in the Brainstorm and propose their own.
• Rate and post news aggregated to maemo.org/news.
• Download software, rate it and share your feedback at http://maemo.org/downloads.
• Ask your developer questions in the right places and help finding and documenting the right answers.
• Get involved in the Community forum and the maemo.org sprints.
• Vote your preferred Council candidates and run for election yourself. Make sure your voice is heard if you have something important to say not covered through the channels mentioned above.

Does this list make sense to you? Anything unclear or missing? I will refine this text based on your feedback and it will end up pretty soon in a documented wiki page.
