Fair enough.
Since there been a "me" in my previous post, here's my statement regarding any
"hard reset":
I will try to find the best way to stay as close as possible to the classical traditional maemo
method of determining eligibility to vote and to run. Changes that
are not inevitable to cope with quirks in our infra or whatever have to get
discussed and approved as described in referendum procedure (also classical
traditional way).
In a concise statement: I'm sure community is the ultimate boss, I'm conservative regarding rules, and I think that the
ruleset that's been good for maemo community council since ages is also good for any new
entity related to maemo.

For Jaffa's request to do a bit of self advertisment: I just can promise that
my relation to the tasks in council won't change from what it is today, so if
you want to know what you will get by voting for me, see how I perform now and
if that's what you want.

cheers
jOERG

I note you did that, but wanted to make it clear to those you nominated that they need to accept that way as well.
EDIT: Please do comment in-thread as well, since if you e-mail is held for "moderation" which some users seem to be getting, it may not be seen in the list.

This is true. In that regard I suggest (like Joerg_rw has) that any future MCC/HFC consider that if changes are needed there should be extensive community input on the topic. The last time these rules were changed/made there was an official vote of the community, which I think is a good practice overall.

This would not preclude putting the current method into writing as soon as HFC is in place however, as the ByLaws explicitly allow the MCC/HFC to tweak and change those rules for several months once they're in place before they become hard-set and need super majority approval to change. (Again an indicator that these rules were in place not to allow a random change, but to accommodate for the fact that when written we did not know how things would pan out over the next 6 months, and if servers would even be up at that time.)

Good progress thus far....
Do we have a "relatively" even balance between old school Maemo & new school Maemo (i.e. Harmattan)?
Or is it some something like 90/10 Freemantle(or older)/Harmattan?

Hi all,

I hope to carry out the wishes of the Community at large if elected into both Councils.


Regards,
thedead1440


P.S. chemist, you haven't sent in your acceptance yet; please do asap before the deadline

Exellent, seems like a solid crew. For a second I thought I had take over as King of TMO but with the names I can rule in the reall world instead.


Edit: @thedead.do you intend to keep your moderator rights if elected. Personally I don't want to see moderators in the HF or CC. Don't like when people are both jury, judge and executioner. What's your thought on that?

Btw I think you are an Exellent moderator and would be an excellent council+ier, just not both at the same time

Edit 2 : Same question to chemist.

I'm not entirely sure we need some kind of balance between fremantle users and harmattan users; while the community council does indeed speak for the community, the HiFo business is strictly fremantle-only, so it's to be expected that we get more interest from the "old-school" side of the maemo community.

I don't think that this has been spread around enough; will it be written somewhere, by the time the election comes?
