@Texrat

Yeah I managed to find my way out of this mess.

How in the world did you create a table of content ?

Do you mind if I change the page a little to maintain some consistency in the wiki.

Re: Ask the Council!
 

Table of contents is generated automatically based on headers. And no, I don't mind if you massage it at all! That's the fun of wikis. I just threw that up quickly anyway.

Re: Ask the Council!
 

Ok I had a look at the proposed working group and tried as much as possible to give them all the same "look".

Would you mind to have a look at the UX working group page to be sure everything is all right ?

Mandor that is an outstanding job! So far all I did was change 1 word (expend to expand). Nicely done.

Dear council members,

How are you going to address those N900 users who use It as a business tool?

It looks like issues with missing search capability in email app and calendar do not get much attentention.

Re: Ask the Council!
 

Why would the council address that issue? User support is not one of the council's jobs. If you have issues with the level of support for a particular feature, talk to Nokia Care.

Re: Ask the Council!
 

Well, I use the N900 as a business tool and it works for my needs, so issues are going to be on a case-by-case basis.

That said, what would you be looking for from the council in this regard?

Re: Ask the Council!
 

I think oneFinn's question (and various parts of the discussion in the nominations thread) point to the fact that many people equate the volunteer community here at maemo.org with the official Nokia / Maemo organization, and many people think that the council has some influence over the internal workings of Maemo Devices.

The council is just five very engaged, enthusiastic community members. Nokia has (very) occasionally told us extra stuff, but we are not part of Nokia or Maemo, we don't have any control over what Nokia does, and we are not paid by Nokia.

So the council cannot "address" any issues regarding official Nokia software or hardware, unless it is open source, and then, well, anyone can address it.

Council, this is a question about my eligibility to vote in the coming elections. I'm asking in the open for the sake of transparency.

I have enough karma, but my maemo.org account was created on "2010-01-14 17:02:50", which is past the cut-off of 2009-12-31. However, I had some bug reports in December, 2009, before the cut-off. Would you consider extending voting eligibility to me based on my bugzilla activity?

Re: Ask the Council!
 

IMO that should count as a "maemo.org account". The fact that we don't have SSO yet is just an implementation technicality and shouldn't affect voting eligibility.

In case anyone needs confirmation, the bug #s in question are 7460, 7461, 7467 & 7468.
