:) indeed I have and thank you for your kind words.
We already stand on the shoulders of giants.

I have gotten to spend the last year working hard on the AF team to help
allow all the community applications to work as intended.
We have discussed and liaised with many people both internal and external
and helped fix many things and bring out many applications.
We have coded and hacked to develop innovative solutions to tricky problems.
The connection between community and internal teams grows stronger every day
and feedback from my time on both sides of the wall has helped immensely in
that.
We are also continuing with advancing Hildon and I hope to get devs onboard
and integrate community patches into future SSU updates.

As part of the community side, I have recently requested to be a part of the
Maemo official *masters to be involved in opening up Maemo closed components
and help bring as many of the excellent (but closed!) system applications we
have into the open.
The keynote I wish to deliver at the summit is in part related of that - I
aim to allow as much of Maemo to stand proud within Meego as possible!

I will therefore decline the nomination at this time and hope to continue
talking with the new council as it emerges.

Best of luck to all candidates

Gary
