I'm feeling spiteful.

Well, you could've run this year if you had chosen. Nokia employees, being a part of the Maemo Community, are permitted to run. You just have to disclose your relationship with Nokia.

The only people I might, personally, discourage from running are the maemo.org folks (X-Fade, dneary, andre, karsten, etc) since they're already directly involved in the process and I'd rather bring in some additional faces than piling more hats on a single person.

That said, I'm glad to hear it. The turnout for candidates was ever so slightly underwhelming last time around.
