Oh, if it was done by The Rules, then it's all OK then. The problems I mentioned (no mandate, no vote, no community participation) don't matter if you followed The Rules.

This (no community participation) can happen also with voting. voting is also following "The Rules", so I don't see how it can magically motivate people. Motivated ones will help no matter if there was voting or not, and de-motivated would just sit in the corner no matter what.

Yes, and I didn't run for Council either.
Good luck to the newly self-appointed council. I really wish we could have elections again; it is tough being the supposed representatives of a community that didn't have an opportunity to vote for you. You can't really claim to have a mandate, and you're really only council members because nobody else bothered to nominate themselves.

All right, no cat-fights, please. I'm eagerly waiting for first roadmap by Council, with some "we need help with this, this, and that task".

Estel,
i don't know how old you are (none of my business...), but if you are living in Poland and 30 or older, you may remember the soviets (council in Russian) from 20+ yrs ago.
back then, elections were a farce, to put it mildly; ppl HAD TO vote, for the candidate(s) designated by the party / council / whatever...
like it; not wasn't an option.
no matter how young you are, living in PL now, you will probably agree with Alan Dean Foster's definition of freedom (just chaos, with better lighting)...
on Maemo, the lighting isn't even that good, but nobody is going to deny that it is quite chaotic, right?
or deadly quiet, at best...
why is that?
because of the questions about the elections? nope
because of the lack of vision.
unfortunately, no matter how visionary the members of the council may be, they don't have any power to realise whatever vision they may have.
thus maybe the lack of interest in getting in the... soviet ¦-)

Edit:
Voting per acclamation is better than no voting.
