[maemo-community] Maemo Community Meeting (September 6, 15:00 UTC) & Request for Volunteer Supervisor of Elections

[From: Qole]

For those interested, here is the IRC log of the meeting:

http://mg.pov.lt/maemo-meeting-irclog/%23maemo-meeting.2011-09-06.log.html

My summary: X-Fade has committed to running the council elections, but not
the coding competition vote. He also said that he doesn't believe that a
community volunteer would be able to run the coding competition vote through
the maemo.org system, mainly because of the security risks. He doesn't think
they'd be able to get access to all of the necessary databases.

Also an interesting quote:

SD69: I hope this isn't too blunt, but does Nokia care much what happens
with maemo.org community? Or is it off the radar screen at this point?

mairas: Sure, we're funding maemo.org a lot longer than the internal MeeGo
team!

(That puts things in perspective...)
