I came in 6th place :)

Haha, does that mean we can take his device from him too?

Other more qualified devs deserve it.

Edit: Someone quote me since, he has me on ignore list he won't see my post.
Hell no. You have all proven yourselves to be as bad as each other.

If anything there would have to be a vote.

a little like Flop, maybe? :eek:

and you have to admit that so far, the Council hasn't shown any inclination to listen to the Community.
then again, maybe the silent majority is perfectly happy with it?

start a thread with a pool
1) discharge some member(s) of current Council (post name(s))
2) discharge current Council at large
3) leave them, doing a great job...
?


can't seem to find the "Create thread" link now :(
have to run now, will look into it in a few hours (6 to 12)

EDIT: thanks to this post not needed anymore...
Council has listened :)

the fact that some people are looking for the proper procedure to evict an elected council member speaks something. i hope you get the message.
Was that question for Council? So I'm supposed to answer it, eh?

Sure - I got message that few individuals are looking for a way to remove volunteers from volunteering, which is quite amusing, in itself. Considering former "contributions" of those outcry'ers, I'm not surprised. Unfortunately, troll happen - I remember similar ones wanting way to remove SD69 in last cadence, or Qole before, or...

Unfortunately, some people like to spend energy on harassing and dividing - well, it's their problem. What saddens me, is how easily others can be drawn into such little wars -probably, it require much less effort to do flamewar, than contribution :(

Still, I'm waiting for joerg providing us sources - if such one exist (and are not "free" interpretation of referendum as whole), it would be very, very interesting to read. More, than 1/4 of TMO posts, lately, but I guess, that it's just life.

Maybe I'm not the best coder, but I can catch up on someone else's code, to not waste words, I was trying to help with different packages when pali took over kernel power and changed the way kernel reports temperature (see e/g/ http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=101 and http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=150 ) and lately I've been trying to help with OpenGL ES for Lincity and recompiled hildon-desktop with some logging to help marmistrz sort out why the hell some apps rotate despite being blacklisted. So, ivgalvez, if you have such list, please let me know :)
@misiak,
i think your help is needed here: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=85061
maybe you can apply as section maintainer: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...8&postcount=63

For some reason, I can't shake feeling, that You've just invented it, as abuse of general referendum system, for sake of this answer. Of course, it's just *silly* me - I'm absolutely sure that You - as respected Community member - would never do such childish thing, so it must be written somewhere, in ancient wikis, founded by Maemo ancestors.

I'm really eager to read it, so I'm awaiting - impatiently - for Your answers.

/Estel
I don't think there's any such thing like "general referendum system", and if there were I'd bet it would apply to this particular case as well.
However it's not been me who invented the general idea of a referendum, including collecting votes to trigger an official referendum. It's pretty established in a lot of constitutions, just deciding about the proper threshold is up to your sole discretion as council in duty here, since I actually think there's no hard threshold written down for maemo anywhere (yet?).

And thanks for the warm polite tone in your answer, we're used to it meanwhile ;-D

cheers

Can you please provide links for those those situations?

Re: [Council] Ask the Council!
 
Oh, so it was Your free interpretation, and in reality, such process doesn't exist? I'm completely surprised and shocked. I got idea for better referendum - lest decide if Nokia is going to release next Maemo device this year. After all, we have referendum system, why don't apply it for *every* problem? Let's shape and bend rules like we wan't now, who is gonna stop us!

And I'm glad, that You enjoy tone of my post. Some people were disturbed by my straight answers, so I decided to start sugar-coating them - at least ones that refer to stupid ideas or FUDs. I hope that no one is going to get sick due to overdose of sweet pink love in the air, meantime.

Now, that would be something. Not sure exactly what mind you, but definitely something, and definitely not good.

Which process doesn't exist allegedly? The process of collecting support on a signing list for a request addressed to a organizational entity? You are free to find this process described in any page you find when googling for "Volksbegehren".
Or do you refer to the process of council listening to such supported request? well, no comment on this one...
Or maybe you simply bother to explain to me what's your take of what a referendum in maemo is meant for then - you could take the opportunity to elaborate a bit about your constant accusations I'd bend any rules and invent things that are allegedly written down in a different way, buzzword "abuse of referendum system".

Honestly I can't see how and why you start *****ing at me this way. Must be you. Shocked?! WTF? Because I explained a commonly accepted well known procedure usually known as "democracy" at large, here particularly referendum? Chill, get a brain!
