[maemo-community] Maemo Community / MeeGo Coding Competition 2011 voting

[From: robert bauer]

Tim,

Thanks for your feedback.  Cosimo (zehjotkah) wrote the email so I'll leave
it to him to respond if he wants to, and the text was posted on t.m.o. for
crowdsourcing <http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=1082239&postcount=587> as
well.  I haven't voted yet but from what I see the email says you can vote
in each category.

There was also a previous complaint about the voting form not rendering
well in Ubuntu Lucid that came to the council email account and I passed
that on to Nemein.  Additionally, for some reason, this message was sent
from the council email account, and purported to be from council.  In
particular, someone changed the signature from "zehjotkah" to "Maemo
Community Council".  Although Council stepped in a few times to get the
Coding Competition the help they needed from Nemein to take the vote, it
was quite a surprise that the email was sent in this fashion.

In any event, thanks for continuing to contribute to the community by
voting and commenting.

Rob
