Hello Community,

I'm sure you already heard that Hildon Foundation is planning to move to new grounds by transitioning to a German "eingetragener Verein" (e.V.). (http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=91155)

This has become a pressing issue with the resignation of Woody14619 (http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=92438), since with him, we also lost some of our action-ability for different reasons.

Besides that, it is desired to have funds accessible where major costs for the maemo infra accrue, where the servers reside.
As current HiFo board and council member, I am offering my services as chairman and an office address for the new organization. Gido Griese is helping with the initial steps of founding.

Fortunately, there already is a second board-candidate: juiceme, currently member of the Maemo Community Council.
As the board for the e.V. is supposed to consist of 3 directors,
we need one more.

If you're a well-known contributor on maemo.org and are able to support the movement as a director or founder, please step up.

Restrictions apply, though. As a founder, you have to be EU citizen, as a director, you have to be EU resident.

Update: For now, the plan is to hold the kickoff meeting on Tuesday, march 04 11 in #maemo-meeting channel on freenode IRC.


Regards,
Ruediger Schiller
