And, whether members of itT are members of maemo.org or not, know that the Council has (and will always) be advocates for the important discussions that happen here -- be it called internettablettalk.com or talk.maemo.org. So, even if you've never been to maemo.org, we (the Council) never cared -- it's the users and the platform that we care about, regardless of where everyone "hangs out." This being said, I really do wish that more people had voted.

Case-in-point: Me. I haven't written a line of code for Maemo...ever. But, I'm in my second term of Councilhood, I was sponsored for Maemo Summit 2008, I was accepted into the N810 developer program (and even received a second, free N810 for some bug testing I did for that program), etc.

Volunteering for -- and impacting -- Maemo is not all about writing code, or even being tech savvy. If you own a Maemo device, you can participate.

And, I know it's probably been said here before, but... Even if you never go to maemo.org, having an account there -- with your itT info added to your maemo.org profile -- will accumulate karma just by your participating here on itT (itT Thanks are tallied in the maemo.org karma count).
