Well I'm glad you aren't leaving TMO Dave ...thats for sure...
And guys ... People aren't voted in forever...the people change..
After this round of voting and the next and the next and the next ....it'll be a whole new ball of fun....pretty much every time.
As far as people on board with non-maemo devices / platforms...that can and will always change.
Become a candidate who owns/ uses maemo-based devices / platforms..
Vote for a candidate who owns/ uses maemo-based devices / platforms..
There are options...and even if you personally decide on neither of the two aforementioned options...things will change regardless of whether you include yourselves in the process.
It just depends...whether you wish to have input and try to change things the way you wish....
For myself ...If I had the power of final decisions...
I'd be quite draconian in my separation of devices, forums and such ...
I commiserate...
they have a zero-total bearing on this community...
and [for lack of kinder words] shun them as lepers and as long as peace is kept and they stay in their end of the swamp...
and so for now tolerate their presence...

If it were my decision....well the damage has been done...for quite some time now...As long as they behave...I see no prob in them staying...But non-maemo device / platforms forums deserve no special consideration otherwise the precedent becomes ugly and we have an iphone and windowsphone sub-forum next.
.For a start...non-maemo devices / platforms forums...Should not be on the same page as our device / platforms forums/ subforums...it should be on a whole separate page ..not on the prime Forum/ sub-forum page ...flat out..they have little to do with us [if anything] and we them...
But I think since the doors been open for a while now...they should be allowed some considerations....
As far as who is running things...well quite a few of the guys..."were" maemo device users...so that "almost" counts ..eh?

But honestly...
no foreign device-line / platform user-base should have a majority in ruling over the maemo community...
a presence in rule ...sure...
for example out of 6 members on council say...
there shouldn't be 50% or more of the members being non-maemo device/ platform users...or then the mandate naturally changes for the maemo community in a given bias toward non-maemo devices / plaforms and their users...
that is an inevitability...
anyone arguing different is attempting to fool others or fooling themselves..
....so for apparent reasons..
2 non-maemo-device/ platform users out of 6 on council ...

In other words...
Consideration, allowance for a presence and a voice for how things should be run and going...for our "guests" ...for sure...I'm all for that...

But the guests able to dictate to the hosts of the house how things are going to be run?

No.

So guys..in essence...don't like the sitch?
then vote and or run for office and help to run things the way they should be to keep the priority of Maemo.org ...."actually"... Maemoan.
It's that simple.

The reality is ...In a few years all these people from other devices will be moving on to their next devices...think they'll all stick around here?
Nope.
Some may...but not the majority..
They'll move on...
So...it means maemo device users HAVING stepping up to the plate to run the place again...inevitably ...

So ...you two...my good friends...better get your candidacy speeches ready for the next quarter's voting...
