[maemo-community] Incorrect election title on voting page

[From: Quim Gil]

I do think we are reaching pharisaical levels.  :)

At the end the thing is as simple as:

You use Maemo and you are having fun with other people using Maemo: you
are part of the Maemo community.

The rest is about how deep you want to go.

I would have a hard time understanding someone claiming that I'm a
member of the Ikea community since I'm a regular user of the kitchen I
bought from them.

However, I understand perfectly that there is a bunch of people
enthusiastic about Ikea products, many discussion forums, fan sites,
blogs and what not, as well as an official ikea-friends community
sponsored by Ikea.

Is it Ikea who tells me where do I fit? No, it's me who decides to buy
their products or not, just use that kitchen or do something more about it.

Now change "Ikea" by "Maemo" and "kitchen" by "software".

You are using Maemo --> yes you are a potential member of the Maemo
community. However, the community itself won't be aware of your
existence unless you show up in some way. So there is a line, but it's
in control of the user who ultimately decides to limit himself to browse
and download or meet some Maemo peers and have fun together.

What is "fully fledged member"? And who cares, really? You do whatever
you want in the Maemo context: post in ITt, #maemo IRC,
maemo-developers, blog about, go to a Summit, send feedback to a
developer, rate an application, a news piece...

Have fun! That's what counts.
