I'll gladly do, as soon as people paying the bills will start to treat us seriously.

Just re-read council logs. It's perfectly seen - in every line - that they don't have a clue about things they're saying. Heck, they event were not aware of momcilo being Council member!

If You ask me, community projects around Maemo got now biggest momentum ever - of course, it's handbraked by "our friends" from Nokia, if not only by "resolving" bugs in repos for 6 months (still without success). Look at propositions they have for us - lets report problems once a month. I already feel the result - *maybe* fixing maintainership/other problems once per 3 months. It's totally unacceptable for dynamic projects like CSSU.

It's really so hard to give Council members technical privileges to chose volunteer from Community, that would be able to approve/reject maintainership requests, if original maintainers are not reachable?

It's just an example. They're repeating old promises and empty words over and over again, yet this time, they don't even *try* to play like they're respecting us (see negating Council mandate). As long as "paying the bills" by Nokia got side-effect of obstructing flagship Community projects, it's a loss, not a gain

All after all, take no offense Jaffa, but this time I don't see much reason behind Your post - I may be wrong, but it seems as an attempt to just "handbrake" current trend, without proposing any alternative solution.
