Personally, I have no objection to extending the nominations period so long as determination of the new council is not delayed, but I don't want to contradict Texrat who seems to have already indicated otherwise. I do imagine it might be difficult to get consensus of current council and current nominees. I can't disagree with Texrat. The election thread was on here with deadlines and on the mailing list, and there was a bit of attention on the election even though it was earlier on and not recently active.

For all those who want to nominate or help with the future of maemo.org, thank you for speaking up. I would think we will be able to find a way for you to contribute. We need people to manage package promotions, organize and manage the repositories, etc. Basically, I would like to reduce the budgetary requirements by having trusted community members handle the tasks performed by Nemein and previous distmaster. Feel free to PM me with your skills (which can be more than SW development - we needs things such as website design and reorganization).
