Thanks Matti for the explanation. I'm sure that Niels or Henri from Nemein can also come, explain their situation and be reasonable. Just like anybkdy in this thread: if we bother posting here is because we all care.

I encourage anybody interested to stand up and run for the Council election. We have a very interesting time ahead (no idea about the details, but that is for granted). In my opinion, the next 6 months are relevant to define the future of the Maemo community more in the lines of a DieHard classic arcade group or as the first and best step toward the open mobile community that nobody has been able to put together so far. One great thing about this community (which is something I also enjoy at the Qt community) is the curiosity and willingness to discuss and work on several platforms, as long as the free software we love runs on them.

If your motivation to be a Council member is to resist and fight Nokia think it twice. Here it is an invitation to work togetger with the whole commmunity to define the future and the next steps to walk.
