Announcing my run for Council !!
 

Note:
I have elected to withdraw from running for the councilshipment-community-person-position.
It was a tough decision but one that needed to be made.
I urge that you respect my wishes for some private time with my family in the days ahead.

The platform below is sound, and I wish that it can find its way into some other councilthing-want-to-be-person's agenda.

Peace and Love to everyone.
Except the British.


I am hereby officially announcing my run for Council-Community-guy.

My platform, which is both wide and deep, consists of items such as;

- I will ensure that there will ALWAYS be a spot for the legacy devices (770, 8x0, 910, etc) and that forums (maemo/meego/msdhjdsh) will be well structured and easy to search and subscribe to!,

- I will also not own an N900 - which will make me equal to the vast majority of users here w/in the next 3-6 months and in a great position to represent the majority,

- I will come down HARD on both fanboys and haters. Posts will be deleted and accounts will be banned. This will be a friendly place if I so have to ban the lot of you!,

- I will encourage iPad jokes until I find them to be boring and repetitive,

- Avatars will going forward not be allowed - instead they will be replaced by actual baby photos of yourself,

- I will work to establish an improved and stronger relationship with Nokia - to the degree that they will let us know DAYS in advance of any device termination or OS change. It's all about building trust people. That and thrust. Mostly thrust.

- If there are more than FIVE topics in a row mentioning N900, MeeGo or the word 'Help!' they will collectively be merged with a subject line of "Blah Blah Whaa Whaa",

- Karma points will be abolished and replaced by Brownie points. These points can either be earned - or purchased at the Ovi store (see my paypal account details below).

- I will discontinue Bugzilla and replace it with a five-column on-line spreadsheet. This will also get us closer to a SSO solution than the current Council have been able to achieve in years,

- I will discontinue the Brainstorming 'tool' and replace that with a four-column spreadsheet.

Last, but not least my dear Maemogoers I promise that I will love you...all !! Well, not so much emotionally as physically. Unless you're a guy. Or, not my type. Or if you're my type but lives far away and I can't get the community to sponsor my travel cost. But for the rest of you.... good times ahead!

So, what say ye folks of Maem..Meeko?!

Do I HAVE YOUR VOTE?!?!

Re: Announcing my run for Council !!
 

no n900, no vote ;)

Re: Announcing my run for Council !!
 

Don't count you vote on "fanboys" because they are adored over here... hence, banning them will cost you dearly.

Re: Announcing my run for Council !!
 

Don't think I won't ban you for that.

Re: Announcing my run for Council !!
 

Welcome. If I bother to vote, I will vote against you.

Re: Announcing my run for Council !!
 

It sounds like you're running for a moderator position on talk.maemo.org, not a council position.

Re: Announcing my run for Council !!
 

Yep. None of the council have banination powers.

(Muahahahaha!)

Re: Announcing my run for Council !!
 

Make him a mod... just in time for the rest of us to decamp over to talk.meego.com. ;)

Re: Announcing my run for Council !!
 

Early banning pending.

Re: Announcing my run for Council !!
 

In the future Council members will be able to ban users - and moderators.

Re: Announcing my run for Council !!
 

You'll have no problem getting the votes of the 2 members who haven't moved to meego forums

Re: Announcing my run for Council !!
 

a) See my 'future' comment, and
b) Marked for early banning.

Re: Announcing my run for Council !!
 

You I like.

Update: I will also remove the requirement to having to type 10 characters in a post. This so that I can write simple messages like;

- You I like,
- Permaban!, and
- A/S/L?

Re: Announcing my run for Council !!
 

You I'd ban right away if I wasn't afraid of you.

Re: Announcing my run for Council !!
 

With a 62.50% approval rating so far I have made some SLIGHT adjustments to my platform. See opening post.

To the 37.50% that have not come around yet...don't think I can't see your IP address.....

Re: Announcing my run for Council !!
 

Be afraid. Be very afraid. The bear has claws. And teeth.

Re: Announcing my run for Council !!
 

Yes, it's interesting seeing with whom you share IPs.

Re: Announcing my run for Council !!
 

Ari jaaksi, council members, users and moderators will be able to ban. free for all:D

chaos before destruction...Maemo KIA!

Re: Announcing my run for Council !!
 

Early ban pending x 2 !

Re: Announcing my run for Council !!
 

I believe the correct phrase is 'pwned!' no?

Re: Announcing my run for Council !!
 

I like you too.

Re: Announcing my run for Council !!
 

Use of tween words like 'pwned' will also be banned.

Re: Announcing my run for Council !!
 

It's mostly the 'sitting on me' that worries me.

Re: Announcing my run for Council !!
 

First thing you've said that might remotely win my vote.

Re: Announcing my run for Council !!
 

I knew you had a soft spot for me...deep in there.

Re: Announcing my run for Council !!
 

I do indeed have a soft spot for you. It's a bog on dartmoor.

Re: Announcing my run for Council !!
 

Also banning British people.

Re: Announcing my run for Council !!
 

I voted "No" but I don't have an iPhone to hump every night, does my trusty E71 count?

Re: Announcing my run for Council !!

It's supposed to go UP not DOWN!!

Re: Announcing my run for Council !!
 

Anything you can fit into my friend...




Oh, and banned!

Re: Announcing my run for Council !!

Re: Announcing my run for Council !!
 

Haven't seen that since I left the mod-room of my last place! Thank you!

Re: Announcing my run for Council !!
 

Is this user able to run for Council? If not can this be moved to offtopic?

Re: Announcing my run for Council !!
 

I almost went up for this, but the Emperor never gets old. :p

Re: Announcing my run for Council !!
 

a) Why would I not, and
b) Texrat don't think I didn't see you THANKING that post!!

Re: Announcing my run for Council !!
 

going off one's meds is never a pretty sight.

Re: Announcing my run for Council !!
