<BODY bgColor=#ffffff>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>After a great deal of consideration, and a LOT of
persuasion on this list, twitter, IRC and even the phone, I'd like to rescind my
rejection and accept Texrat's nomination, if that's permitted.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I'm still very unconvinced about my usefulness to
the Council, but since others seem to think I can be of value, I'm prepared to
try my best if that's what people want. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Please understand, I have limited knowledge of
modern business practices, though I did work for many years in organisations
almost entirely run by volunteers, so have some idea how volunteer
communities work. But I don't have the first clue of the modern 'business
speak'. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Equally, I have no experience of coding - I can
just about knock up a page of html, and that's my limit!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>So what do I bring?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Enthusiasm a-plenty</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Willingness to have a go - at most things,
including technical stuff with a bit of support</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Concern for the 'average bears' in comunity, which
doesn't mean the outspoken angry people demanding stuff on principle, but people
who're trying to get the best out of their device with limited tech
skills.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>People and communication skills - including
presentation skills if you ever need them, and English language
skills.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Commitment to bridging maemo and meego - and a
determination that us bears of very little brain will still have our own
corner in meego somewhere.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>If any of that can be of use for the next 6 months,
I'll stand.</FONT></DIV>
