As part of the 100 Days brainstorm one of the ideas proposed was to have an elected community council of 5 people who would liaise with Nokia, represent community interests and reflect the diverse Maemo community, and organise and co-ordinate community initiatives. Discussion on the council and its role can be found in the wiki.

The inaugural community council elections will be held from the 3rd to the 10th of September, and nominations for candidates for the election are open now.

To be eligible, candidates should have at least 100 karma points as of August 14th (today) - the full list of people eligible is in the wiki.

Everyone who had a maemo.org account before the 10th of June is eligible to vote - instructions on how to do so will be sent after nominations close.

To become a candidate, please send your candidature to maemo-community@maemo.org, mentioning your name, company affiliation, maemo.org username and motivations for being on the council.

Thank you all for your efforts!
