Well, if you're looking for questions, here's one that it should be possible to answer - who (if anyone) on the Community Council knew about this before Feb 15th?
Very Very WEAK!!!!!!!!!!!!
We were not informed in ANY way prior to or after the public announcement..........

I will say this: there's an absurdly short amount of time until the nomination deadline, and the election itself too given this advent...

Considering that Nokia did not feel it was important to inform the council members of any of this I'm not sure there is a big need to continue with a Maemo Council at all.
Assume that there would be no council starting...tomorrow - and Nokia would continue down the MeeGo path - what would really change?
There would still be a product, there would still be forums (official or fan-run), there would still be app development (official or fan-created). Moderators on forums would make sure things ran smoothly, etc. Not too much different than how other products (Nikon, etc) are handled really.
Maybe it is just easier to have some legacy site for the die-hard (or now stuck?) Maemo users and let Nokia run the MeeGo efforts.

But my questions are still the same - what would happen if there would be no more council tomorrow and the Nokia just continues down the path that they apparently have chosen?
Being that Nokia is a big, well established company I would assume they have already planned out how this transition will happen and I don't personally see their interest in having a relationship with a 'Council'.
For some time I have actually thought of the Council as an entity that validates themselves rather than actually being needed.

There are certain aspects that made this whole MeeGo union feels like it's a product of arranged marriage that resulted in a badly named child made out of good genes...
But it's only natural that we all feel this [confusion|annoyance|shock|awe] because maemo is already part of our identity.

As you go on to other communities, remember to build them around politeness, respect, trust and humility. Be wary of poisonous people and deal with them before they end up killing your community.. Seen it happen to too many IRC channels, forums, open source projects.
