The council members dedicate their free time to this community, each and everyone of them deserve the free device!!! How come that many of those active in these troll-feeding threads never appear in any technical discussions???
[/mod] As I said somewhere else before, the council should get loaners which they have to give to the next-gen-council... but on the other hand some of the council deserved taking part in this CA ralley (it is an award for past contributions), and who ever says again that voices didn't get out till after the winner-list should read maemo related channel-logs (IRC) and find me the dates for posting them here, sick of reading it. Even if only few, there was concern about council deciding AND receiving from the first time it was mentioned on the mailing list. The current council was elected from 7 which means that, although not usual, people without history or with bad-history will get elected so I do not agree with "If they are elected council they have good history in maemo already". My 2c![mod] I won't split this discussion in bits and pieces, I try to be around if you need further moderation.
