</div>Thanks Andrew. I've a few questions for the candidates, your answers<br>
<div class="im">would be appreciated:<br>
<br>
<br>
Sprint process<br>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br>
This is the main organised point of contact between Nokia, the paid<br>
contributors and the community, however the <a href="http://maemo.org" target="_blank">maemo.org</a> sprint process<br>
is quite heavy for volunteers and it often seems to be a checklist<br>
affair; rather than a collaborative planning exercise.<br>
<br>
1) Do you see any flaws in it, and how do you think it can be improved?<br>
<br>
</div><div class="im">2) What are your thoughts on ongoing communication during the sprint?<br>
<br>
<br>
</div><div class="im">MeeGo<br>
~~~~~<br>
MeeGo is, IMHO, the single biggest thing to happen to Maemo since the<br>
770. In many ways, it's the opening up of the design processes that<br>
many of us have wanted in Maemo for so long. As Maemo as an operating<br>
system disappears, this will have a big effect on the community.<br>
<br>
3) As we move from "day zero" to "day one", what do you think the<br>
priorities for the MeeGo community should be?<br>
<br>
</div><div class="im">4) Should leaders in the MeeGo community (whether from a Moblin or<br>
Maemo background) try to move the existing communities with them to<br>
form the MeeGo community; or should a new community form around the<br>
operating system and its devices?<br>
<br>
</div><div class="im">4a) If yes, what steps should be taken to prevent overreactions and<br>
allegations of "take over" that happened when <a href="http://internettablettalk.com" target="_blank">internettablettalk.com</a>'s<br>
theme changed to match the rest of <a href="http://maemo.org" target="_blank">maemo.org</a>?<br>
<br>
4b) If no, how do you see the relationship between the Maemo community<br>
which has been "left behind" and the MeeGo community? How does the<br>
Maemo community stay vibrant if large portions on moving on to Maemo's<br>
successor, or drifting away to other mobile platforms?<br>
<br>
</div><div class="im">5) What are your thoughts about existing <a href="http://maemo.org" target="_blank">maemo.org</a> resources (such as<br>
Extras, auto-builder, Bugzilla) as Nokia, and the paid contributors,<br>
look to the future?<br>
<br>
<br>
</div><div class="im">Community<br>
~~~~~~~~~<br>
<br>
6) How can we encourage more, and higher quality, applications for<br>
Maemo - and specifically through Extras?<br>
<br>
<br>
</div><div class="im">Thanks for your time in answering these questions. Your answers are<br>
much appreciated.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
Andrew<br>
