Take it up with council and if you're not satisfied with my work direction and make them give me direction. This does not belong in this thread, or for that sake, in this forum subsection.
I think you are missing the point. The concern is that you acted as if you would singlehandely (ok, one or two other hands included as well) decide to close down a stickied thread, not complain that it was in the wrong forum subsection.

Maemo-on-OMAP and work above (which some people might have called a detour, but is it a detour now?)

MeeGo on N8x0 as I can help with that with the above experiences and there's other people in the N900 hardware adaptation team that are interested in having a 'hobby' porting project as well, because well it's fun!

Distmaster AOB - Helping out where I can, pointing people in the right direction with issues, various processes.
How is this relevant to the issue of closing a stickied thread? Are you arguing that, because of the distmaster work you have done, that you should have special permission to do that?

Report whereever you want. And the important part is that work that the maemo.org community wants is getting done.

Here is what I said,

"Umm, moderators please don't close this thread.

I realize that QGil asked stskeeps to close this thread, but it was just a recommendation. At last week's meeting, Maemo Council decided not to make any MeeGo-related decisions just yet. Please leave this thread open to N8x0 adaption discussion and post any further comments about governance in appropriate community sub-forum thread."

Nothing hostile there I think. So I wonder what is going on besides you being frustrated that you yourself can't close a stickied thread. If you want changes made, then you should contribute to brainstorm or go through other maemo.org community processes. So please let this thread continue to contain comments limited to the N8x0 adaptation.
