<P>I have been pressed to run again for maemo.org council by some members but am
concerned about my potential level of contribution. Available time has
been lean lately.<BR><BR>However... IF only 4 members declare by the deadline,
then consider this my announcement as fifth. My preference though is that
I be bumped by someone new. ;)<BR><BR>Qualifying
statement:<BR><BR>"Experienced product innovator and former Nokia quality
engineer who was directly involved in the launch and support of Linux-powered
mobile computers like the N800. 2011 Forum Nokia Champion, two-time maemo.org
community council representative and current MeeGo community advocate, working
on grassroots marketing process and the MeeGo community device program as well
as other key community initiatives. Founder of Maemo Greeters and MeeGo
Greeters, successful community self-help programs. Manages MeeGo Network
DFW (<A

<P>"Writer for Tabula Crypticum (<A
href="http://tabulacrypticum.wordpress.com">http://tabulacrypticum.wordpress.com</A>)
on "best practices, random analyses and sober speculation", and at Intel's AppUp
developer site (<A
href="http://appdeveloper.intel.com/en-us/blogs/randall-arnold">http://appdeveloper.intel.com/en-us/blogs/randall-arnold</A>).
"<BR><BR>If I participate again, my focus will be on getting Maemo more (or even
fully) under community control. NOTE: council members typically lack the
legal, financial and other wherewithall to do more than petition for Nokia's
consideration.<BR><BR>Thanks,</P>
