[maemo-community] Maemo Elections - Extended

[From: JOSEPHCHARPAK]

It should be compiled before the election. A major perceived problem is that the council finds it hard to achieve momentum as by the time the council has decided anything, the council's term is half over.

Hi Rob, 

I have never left! Have to say that for personal reasons haven't been as involved as before but I am still here! 

Maemo.org is a very special place for me! 

BTW, I understand your frustration of depending on "someone else" for everything and anything! 

I know that Quim have A LOT MORE on his plate but have to say that having him back as Nokia's point of contact immediately gave me hope! 

Not sure if it makes any sense to try this now or if it is better to wait after the election but hopefully we can start to gather all "the community issues/desires/hopes and dreams" into a document so we can discuss have a public discussion with Quim and hopefully decide on some action items. I believe we need a community proposal. I also believe we MUST have an election this time and would love to see more candidates so we can have one and still abide to the rules. 

Having people disagree is great - it shows we care! Maybe we can build up on this! 

Felipe

I agree with Quim here. There is no way to successfully replicate all 
the hard work done on Maemo.org. Bring other projects in and make it 
bigger. 



It is a little naive of me but as long as we have lots of users with interest on the maemo.org , Nokia will also. 


Just the fact that so many new harmattan users found maemo to be their home tells about how good this community is. 
I am actually more concerned with the future of meego.com than maemo.org 

The one part of maemo.org that (especially as a developer) frustrates me is the extras "promotion" - I don't think giving super power to a couple users is the answer (it may be a band-aid for now). It is a larger problem and has been for a quite a while. I think the decision of installing something that is "devel" quality, "testing" quality or "extras" quality should be left to the user on an application basis (maybe something like a "stability indicator" next to the "user rating" is all that is needed. We should try again to work with whatever is left of meego (appsformeego, obs, ...) 

I don't think we need garage either (there are so many other places that can be used, like the projects @ nokia.com ). 

Ultimately, I think the goal should to aggregate and not disperse. 

Just wanted to add my 2ct - I don't think maemo.org is dead!

Hi Felipe, 

It is nice to see so many people returning back to maemo and taking an interest in making it better.
