I'm pretty sure you're right and using Google to search makes my point for me tht the built-in forum search at TMO suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks.

Here here, John! I agree with pretty much with everything you said EXCEPT...

I have not read your articles of association, but you were voted in to do a job. Feel free to make executive decisions and get on with it !!!!!!!! We all respect protocols, but today (even for open source) we need quick, decisive action to drag TMO in the right direction

I'm convinced that we've already had excellent people in that role before and now--however, based on various discussions and my own perspective as well, I don't think that most people here think the problem with maemo community council has much to do with the maemo community council or the way they've done things but that the problem has always been on the Nokia end of discussions. Nokia puts up solid barriers with soft phrases that make the barriers seem invisible. Nokia makes puffery claims of openness while at the same time closing things up even tighter (source code, communication, bug-fixing, etc.). I, for one, can't really criticize any of the Maemo Council past or present, despite maybe not always being aware of just how hard Nokia has been playing dope-on-a-rope with them and with us by extension.
