Re: Nominations for Council election Q4 2014
 

I am very flattered, but also struggling to keep up with what I'm doing now! Thanks, good luck to the other candidates, & best wishes to the the community!

Re: Nominations for Council election Q4 2014
 

It might be very useful to have that information & a quick overview of the dates for nominations, & voting in a sticky.

Re: Nominations for Council election Q4 2014
 

I have decided to accept the nomination. I will send a note to the mailing list tonight.

Thanks again for the nomination. I've been thinking about running for council election for a few years now, but the timing never seemed to be right for me personally. In any case, the nomination has served as a motivator for me to give it a go this time...

Re: Nominations for Council election Q4 2014
 

Okay, I'm extraordinarily stupid... send a message via the mailing list? How?

I'm here but not seeing how. And yes, feel free to treat me like a complete idiot. I'm used to it ;)

Re: Nominations for Council election Q4 2014
 

1st / just fill the form :

https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/list...aemo-community


2/ Using maemo-community

To post a message to all the list members, send email to
maemo-community@maemo.org.


That's it ... I dont see any idiot here , idiots dont dare to ask :-)

Re: Nominations for Council election Q4 2014
 

Done & done. Now... we wait.

Re: Nominations for Council election Q4 2014
 

which one ? you did not announced it yet to the mailing list ask for support if unclear like gerbick : http://lists.maemo.org/pipermail/mae...er/006127.html


I will be probably offline before the dead line, so anyone can feel free to contact assist and update the status page ...

http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_Coun...ction_Q4_2014#

Remember we had 10 last time , help to beat the record :) and there are only 7 confirmed yet ... is community accepting the challenge ?

Re: Nominations for Council election Q4 2014
 

I regret to announce that I won't be standing for the coming election. I feel that I would not be able to dedicate the required time and the community would benefit more if I spent more time on making Debian run better on the N900.

Thanks again to reinob for the nomination. If others value my input, I will try to participate more and attend council meetings whenever I can (the current scheduled meeting time is a bit awkward for me but please don't change it on my behalf!).

Re: Nominations for Council election Q4 2014
 

Welll...

I nominate Thp, VDVsx, Khertan.

And, bump the thread.

Best wishes.

Re: Nominations for Council election Q4 2014
 

Did you also contact them?
Even I am afraid it is a bit late on the last day to give them time to make up their minds (for me it took some time), go ahead please.

Re: Nominations for Council election Q4 2014
 

Hi,

I didn't post here since a long time.

Sorry, but I decline, i didn't have enough time for all the other projects I'm already committed.

Regards

Re: Nominations for Council election Q4 2014
 

But now you did! :)
And hopefully a few times more ...

@wikiwide
seems you did so ;)

Re: Nominations for Council election Q4 2014
 

half of the job is done , you need to confirm to the mailing list please do this asap

dead line is today


if any of you know contacts of unconfirmed ones , let them know about today deadline ... time is short

As speaking we have 8 candidates confirmed..


Status update :

http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_Coun...ction_Q4_2014#

3+6+6 = we're waiting for 15 members feedback , are they on IRC or xmpp or social media ?

Re: Nominations for Council election Q4 2014
 

Read: I will run and announce in the mailing list and whatnot if people are happy with it :)

Also read: thanks for the kick :) Now mailed in the list too. I hope I did it right. Three TMO threads, wiki, IRC, mailing list... it is a bit overwhelming, I am bound to muddle it up. Oh, and a mailing list? Seriously? I have not used one since 1998.

Do I need to write up an assay, submit a CV, sighn a treaty with own blood, that kind of thing?

Re: Nominations for Council election Q4 2014
 

I really appreciate the nomination! Unfortunately I'm much too over-committed already to meaningfully add any potential Council responsibilities on top of that if voted in. :) So thanks again, but I have to decline the nomination. :)

Still, seeing the names on the accepted nominations list, I'm sure Maemo will be in good hands! And of course I'm still around as always, working on modRana stuff. :)

Re: Nominations for Council election Q4 2014
 

Possibly already mentioned somewhere in this thread but want to point out once more:
essential for councillors is to be present in the weekly IRC meetings.

Repeating RzR: all that like to accept and not yet confirmed to the maemo-community ML, please do so asap (today 23:59 UTC).

Re: Nominations for Council election Q4 2014
 

I quotte from IRC :

21<chem|st>21 rZr: just the listing in the wiki has to be changed (I am not touching the wiki)


So I put you to the decilned group , but u can also consider mailing to the mailing list if you still want to run ? in that case we'll confirm on next meeting ... but this need extra check I am unsure personnaly

Re: Nominations for Council election Q4 2014
 

You did it allright, now you are shanghai'ed. ;)

Also not used a ML for long time and never ever before IRC. But there always is a first time :D
Thanks for joining.

And you are free to write on the wiki (candidate declaration) whatever you like and feel it informs Maemo community about your person.
But what about blood signing? It would be a nice sign but I do have no idea how to do that! ;)

Re: Nominations for Council election Q4 2014
 

Update:

http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_Coun...ection_Q4_2014

Re: Nominations for Council election Q4 2014
 

@RzR
Seems you mixed it a bit, as pichlo announced its candidation on mailing list. Just before our tenth candidate mr_pingu.

Going to edit wiki ...

btw: thanks for your contributions regarding the wiki :)

Re: Nominations for Council election Q4 2014
 

Yea please send to the list , Is any one here believe that neildk is invalid candidate ?

Re: Nominations for Council election Q4 2014
 

Quick line...

HtheB, Pichlo, did you merge your talk and garage accounts? If not, please, do so. Karma will need recalculation asap.

[Edit]
Please, take a look at Candidate Declarations.
[/Edit]

Best wishes.

Re: Nominations for Council election Q4 2014
 

I appreciate the nomination, but I'm not a right person ;)
Thanks

Re: Nominations for Council election Q4 2014
 

HtheB did already. Do not know about pichlo, but going to PM him. Karma will need to be recalculated manually (by juiceme), but for sure both candidates will jump the 100 hurdle.

Re: Nominations for Council election Q4 2014
 

Update: http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_Coun...ection_Q4_2014


10 confirmed candidates

9 more to contact

3 hours to go

1 to be convinced (me) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtPA4ebrqbo

Re: Nominations for Council election Q4 2014
 

Thanks for the PM. There are a lot of things I did not know, such as about linking the two accounts. Now done.

So it seems I do not have enough karma. Oh well, what a shame. Please do not jump through hoops for me.

Re: Nominations for Council election Q4 2014
 

@rzr
You need to be convinced?
What else do you need than let community decide?
:D

@pichlo
midgard will only recalculate karma from time to time.
No need to panic, juiceme will do so manually to confirm your eligibility.

Re: Nominations for Council election Q4 2014
 

LAST CALL.

The last hour for nominated member to decide and confirm to mailing list.
Just as a reminder ;)

Re: Nominations for Council election Q4 2014
 

Hi,

I wanted to wait the last second before answering
if I accept the nomination and run for next maemo council election...

Let me kindly decline the opportunity to candidate for this election
and eventually stay on the council 6 months more.

I see 2 members of the current council have applied already,
so It's good for continuity

At the same time I am happy to see fresh blood eligible too
I want to give them all the chance to get the seat I am about to leave

Actually I was joking online that I would join
only if all others candidates sucked but I don't see any :-)
but you can count on me to stay around to check that ;)
or see how can I help and let nice surpises to happen too.

Let the game begin I'll be the referee.

Update: http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_Coun...d_Candidates_:

11 Candidates to go (better than previous one) !


We will check if those candidates are valid...


But they can start setup their program and interact with community , presenting themselves their interests etc...

Re: Nominations for Council election Q4 2014
 

Sorry for the late answer, I was almost whole week offline.

Thank you for the nomination, but I have to decline, as I won't be able to give proper time and energy to this project.

Re: Nominations for Council election Q4 2014
 

No worry, You've got plenty of Karma. 579 points actually as I checked it on last thursday. :D

Re: Nominations for Council election Q4 2014
 

I have a question for confirmed candidates ...

What are your interest regarding harmattan platform ?

(will ask others once I got 11 answers)

Re: Nominations for Council election Q4 2014
 

If I'm honest, which I am, I have sort of avoided Harmattan from the beginning. I have zero experience with it and have never seen an N9, even from a distance.

It's certainly unfair to dismiss it just like that, but Fremantle (intermixed with Debian) fits my needs just fine.

Re: Nominations for Council election Q4 2014
 

I have an N9 that I purchased with a known fault and killed it completely in an attempt to fix it but I've had some experience with Harmattan before that happened. I didn't find it half bad - in fact, I found it much more mature and finished, more intuitive and better supported than one unnamed OS that is four years more recent and based on it. If I ever manage to bring my N9 back to life, I can even imagine using it as my main phone as it seems more phone-like than the N900.

However, OS-wise, I still think Maemo rocks ;)

Re: Nominations for Council election Q4 2014
 

Not fully, but almost :)

Exactly!


Maemo is best, but Harmattan was the first (and right/good) step to get a Linux based OS as the base for a smartphone.
Got to it only as it was already killed by "that guy".
If there only would not have been Aegis, crippling the joy of hackers. But fortunately there was inception or -even better- open mode kernel(s). Without the open mode kernel I probably would have ditched or used just as dumb smartphone (you could not even use 'mount'!). Nowadays I switch between N900/N9 40/60%.

But it looks like M$ is doing the next step by removing N9 app support on the Opera Store! :(
So I see Harmattan starving slowly (but NOT for me!:)) as only few developers put their apps on OpenRepos (kudos to Basil/Custodian!).
Here I would like to thank also RzR for hosting his Harmattan repo.

And unfortunately I do not see much we can do, instead of keeping the device as long as possible running in our hands. Sorry!

Re: Nominations for Council election Q4 2014
 

Nothing concrete. I never seen an harmattan device in my life. I think it's an attractive device and I think I could love it but, you know, never had/made a chance to taste it. So I have no particular interesset in N9 however I think we should get as much apps in openrepos but I have honestly no idea what's up in harmattan world. That little interest is purely because I have nothing to gain, personally, for caring about harmattan. Unless I accidently run into an n950 or n9, I see no reason to care much about Harmattan. However I have nothing against Harmattan, but just no (emotional :P )connection.

Re: Nominations for Council election Q4 2014
 

Good question! I loved the N9 as a device, and have some mixed emotions on Harmattan as platform;
I did some development on it, and did lots of develoment around it (mostly things that do not directly depend on Harmattan itself, like kernel hacking and bootloader development)

I loved the shell, but I hated the mess the packaging was! It was too easy to bork your DEB database and generally the dependencies were more like guesses than reality.

Still, if there was not "that other MER derivative" that I use now as my main device, why, I'd still be using N9/Harmattan daily.

I have to admit in shame I have left N9 pretty much to be, even as I had some clearly marked targets and new features for ubiboot that are quite reachable. I just have not had that much time lately, and there is "that other MER derivative" :D
