Rats, foiled again!

Hehehe.

Re: Ask the Council!
 

Yeah, I think you angered the meego beasties by taking one as your avatar.

What I did was this:
* log in
*open the wiki
*hit edit
*find I couldn't actually type anything
*find a tiny line saying I needed permissions and had to validate my email
*click that
*arrive at my profile, which I thought I had validated
*enter my email
*receive a confirmation email
*click that link
*go back and find the wiki again....

It was a palaver. But maybe the beasties like bears?

Re: Ask the Council!
 

The problem was that the wiki wouldn't let me past the login. I got "Access Denied". But I edited my previous post-- the damn thing surrendered after something like the tenth try.

And Gadsby: :p

Spoke too soon. Got access denied again. :mad:

EDIT: this just gets weirder by the minute. Even though I still get "access denied" error on certain links, I can now edit the wiki page. Go figure.

It's worth clarifying that the current MeeGo governance structure only has a Technical Steering Group and two Big Corp VPs as benevolent dictators.

This is a level of openness we've never had from Nokia: I've been banging on the drum of involving community software professionals in the design process for years.

This is what's necessary to deliver a product.

However, a Community Steering Group is probably necessary to manage websites, wikis, Bugzilla, planets, fora, mailing lists, karma, summits, work with the TSG on community packaging and distribution and so on and so forth.

The Maemo Community Council will be instrumental in saying how the existing Maemo community integrates and where it is appropriate to do so.

Re: Ask the Council!
 

Regardless of who winds up on the next one, I sure hope so.

Re: Ask the Council!
 

The forum issue is potentially divisive and seems like a few people want to push it as fast as possible.

I encourage current Council to provide management and leadership so that the process in reaching the decision on the forum is accepted by as much of the community as possible. Preserving the issue for the next Council may or may not be the best option.

Re: Ask the Council!
 

My position is to start fresh with a new forum, as stated in the other thread. I think that's the best and most fair approach overall.

Re: Ask the Council!
 

I've the same opinion, but we need to ponder a bit more and listen more opinions from the community IMO.

Re: Ask the Council!
 

I also think a new forum is the best answer. I don't mind Reggie running it, either. But I think a clean break with new forums is the best plan at the moment.

When I say "best answer," I don't mean that I really like it, but I like the other solutions even less. :(

Re: Ask the Council!
 

I agree with listening more, but at the same time would rather move sooner than later.
