[maemo-community] Maemo Community Council elections: nominations now open!

[From: Dave Neary]

Hi all,

Nominations are now open for the Maemo Community Council elections, to
be held in March 2009.

Candidates eligible for election (*) can be nominated by anyone in the
community. If a maemo.org community member nominates someone other than
themselves, the nomination must be accepted by the nominee before it is
official.

Nominations may be made before 23:59 UTC, March 11th, at which time a
voting period of one week will open, by sending an email to the
maemo-community mailing list with the subject "Council Nomination:"
followed by the name of the nominee. Nominations can be confirmed by the
nominee replying to this email.

I encourage anyone who would like to be on the council to nominate
themselves early, and I would encourage all community members to be
forthcoming with questions for the candidates.

Important election dates:
Feb 25 	Nominations open for Maemo Community Council elections
Mar 11 	Nominations close, voting opens
Mar 18 	Voting closes, provisional results declared
Mar 25 	If no challenges are upheld, results for elections are final

Good luck to all!

Dave Neary.

(*) Rules are set out in http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_Council - for
the elections in March 2009, candidates must have over 100 karma points
to be elligible for election. A list of eligible candidates is available
in http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_Council/Eligible_candidates
