This seems straightforward, but what is meant by Nokia? Is this internal to the maemo organization. Is this Nokia? I guess I could use a refresher on the Relationship between Nokia and Maemo.
Also what does the "community's best interest" mean, as defined by the elected members? I am much prefer this wording "The Council's primary purpose is to represent the views and opinions of the Maemo Community to Nokia" taken from the top of the council page. Even with this wording, how do council members go about getting the views and opinions of the community at large?
1) Lets start by saying that the two items in red seem to contradict each other.
Seems the most logical place to have these discussions is in the forums, since they are the most visited place on maemo.org?
Additionally while the IRC logs are available and perhaps maybe the mail logs are too? It does not provide an easy way for people to follow.
There is also council blog and it does provide information. Often this is information about things that have happened, like changes were made somewhere.
2) What does the council do on a day to day basis? How much of your time a week is spent on council activities?
If someone else is considering running, what should they expect.
On top of all this, accomplishments. TOOT YOUR OWN HORN.
