Hello,<br><br>I am nominating myself for Maemo Community Council. I have been a member of the community for 5 years. Two people suggested me as a council member in the last election cycle, but I did not run then and I thought I should not let the opportunity pass by again.<br>
<br>My community involvement to date has been personal, not professional,
mostly on the forum and on the Diablo Community Project as SD69. I did not get
involved in technical and programming issues, just supported the project
and communicated with others who were able through their skills to get
to a successful result to show the value of a CSSU.<br><br>The main reason for volunteering is I think that the community will soon face some significant challenges and my particular skills could be of use. I am an electrical engineer, IPR lawyer and consultant with some expertise in telecommunications and standards related issues. My first open source project was two years ago for an in-vehicle real-time mapping and telematics application. I also worked with Nokia and Navicore on IPR and software licensing issues (mostly in North America ), but not any more. Like most here, I personally see the value of having mobile devices and maemo software that is open for users and others to enjoy and improve, and wish to help in that effort.<br>
