Maemo Community election: nominations open

The next Maemo Community Council will have their work cut out for them with the large shifts in Maemo caused by the MeeGo announcement. Dave Neary has opened the nominations for the next six-month term of the community council. Eligible candidates can be nominated by anyone in the community (although they have to accept the nomination to make it on to the ballot paper) or can put themselves forward as a candidate:

At the time of writing, only Randall Arnold and Andrew Black are candidates in the field. Nominations will be accepted until 16th March, but if you're thinking of standing - announce early and announce often!

It was http://maemo.org/news/ but the day after I posted the problem vanished. Odd.

I removed

Code:

if ($_SESSION['tmo_username'] = 'Texrat')
    segfault();

Sorry 'bout that.

Who would have thought that was all my fault?
