Unforunately, TMO is under heavy spambot attack these days, and I am sure this is the reason this thread remained unnoticed by the time SD69 made his post. And yes, Texrat is right in what he said about the rules, but in bigger picture we need active 5 person council, who cares about maemo/n900 future. And if the price for such council is bending or ignoring some rule/deadline, I would pay it. I would propose extension to nominations period till 20th of September. Or at least those nominatios made yesterday and today to be accepted as valid.

@estel - good engineers are rarely good managers, and even so it is better to spend their time in development.
