[maemo-community] My maemo.org community council nominations

[From: Randall Arnold]

You've REALLY got to stop selling yourself short.

A council requires skills of all types.  If every member was a coder,
then many needs would go unmet.  I focused largely on community-building,
which just takes patience and at least a little social skill.  Other
council members had different skills and interests and directed them
accordingly.  That makes a team.

On that note-- could I get you to modify your MeeGo Greeter signature a
bit?  Instead of "I probably don't know the answer" to "I may not know
the answer"?  Tone means everything when presenting a community to new
members.  ;)

  While Im deeply honoured to be included in Texrat's list of
  nominations, I have to be honest about my abilities. The longer I
  have spent in the community, the more I have become aware of my
  limitations: I have neither technical skills nor business experience. As
  a result, while part of me would love to be engaged and involved at
  the level of the council, I strongly suspect I'd be a bit of a lame
  duck and a bit useless. I'd find it hard to promote myself as a
  candidate, as I think there are people far better skilled and
  equipped than I for the role. On this basis, I feel I must
  decline, because I honestly don't think there's room on a five-person
  council for someone with so little proper background. But thank you,
  Tex, I'm flattered and honourd to be nominated. Kathy

     In a tmo thread earlier [1] I posed a several persons I thought
    would make outstanding candidates for the next community
    council.  After dwelling on it today I have narrowed it down to
    the following, whom I would like to nominate:

    sjgadsby
    anidel
    revdkathy
    timoph
    qole
    attila77

    Please understand this was not an easy list to reduce in either
    case.  There are a great many people I would love to include, but
    I am focusing on a mix I think have the necessary attributes for
    the current and upcoming community needs.

    Note that the candidate(s) must accept for this nomination to
    have value.
