[Council] Ask the Council!

[Estel]

Hello Community!

...Council is starting thread, where everyone can ask current Council about anything related to Community and Council activities (surprised, judging by misleading title, eh? ).

Traditionally, it's not only a place for pure Q&A between members and current Councilors - past (and future ) Councilors are welcome as well, and cross-talks between users are allowed, as long as they move discussions forward.

Cheers,

/Estel

Hello Council,

I have a question about how to become maintainer for new package. I created curl and I'm in pending state for more than one month.
I tried to find the way but I see no way. I saw more people has the same problem.

What is the right way to solve this?

Not in the council but commenting anyway..

curl is not really a new package. For example libcurl3 comes with the device rootfs and sdk so are you sure everything depending on it works as they should with this version of curl?

[ivgalvez]

Curl, like any other system package, should be distributed only via CSSU. In fact, it's already included:

http://gitorious.org/community-ssu/curl

Please contact the main CSSU developers if you are interested in maintaining this (or other) system packages. Best way to talk with them is on IRC #maemo-ssu.

There is one important question to ask:

"merlin1991 guys, who drove the bus that did knock out Mag? 16:16"

So? Who is responsible for hiting our CSSU-T developer?

What's the plan about funding this site once Nokia stops its current funding?
From past discussion it was come into talk about Nokia to stop funding this site after December of 2012, is that true? If not where is the written statement from Nokia stating that?

It is not.

It would be bad for Nokia to stop funding Maemo.org simply because they very know all and any support for Maemo and Meego comes from within this community so until Nokia goes down i am sure funding will continue.

So nothing to worry about i am sure.

After several chats with people familiar with the way Nokia does things, I can tell you that Nokia currently has no plans for defunding Maemo.org or any of it's facilities. If they do, we will very likely get anywhere from 6 months to a years forewarning. (Much like the Meego sites got, many months ago.)
