Hi,

I'd like to thank everyone who attended the Public Maemo Community Council Meeting this morning on freenode.net/maemo-meeting. You can read the meeting archive for a line-by-line output of the proceedings.

Unfortunately, while we had a number of people in attendance, there were only a couple who were vocal. Likewise, a few of those who really wanted this meeting to occur were not present.

Below are the conclusions to the agenda items posted here. While the meeting ended with these conclusions, they are still up for debate. As we are an open source community, so should be the methodology that we use within our community infrastructure. More commentary to come below.

1. One place for all communication.

• We have decided that, for the time being, the Maemo Community Council will continue to utilize the Council Blog for all Council- and Community-related announcements. If you haven't subscribed to the Planet RSS feed, please do so now.
• Any other community-related discussion will occur here in the newly renamed Community subforum.
• The Council wiki will be an information-only location.
• If the maemo-community mailing list becomes integrated with the Talk forums, it will coincide with the Community subforum.

2. Representing the Maemo Community (maemo.org).

• The Maemo Community Council will do it's best to track community-related ideas and issues and support those which have a majority of community-support. If you feel like you need an idea or issue addressed, please do so in the Community subforum.
• A Council-generated summary of community-related action items will be published at the end of each month on the Council blog.

3. Representing Nokia Maemo SW (now Maemo Devices).

• As stated above, the Maemo Community Council will continue to present and push community-related ideas and issues to Maemo Devices and the maemo.org staff. But, the Council will no longer attempt to announce any information brought to the Council unless it is community-related. It has been decided that only Nokia should announce Nokia- and Maemo-related information.

4. Redefinition of Community Council.

• The Council wiki page will be altered so that it reflects an edited variation of Quim Gil's recommendation here. COMPLETED.

5. Regular Maemo Community town hall meetings.

• One idea was to have twice-monthly "open office" hours where two Council members and three community members must be present for the meeting to commence.
• This idea was also met with a little argument, so it needs to be further discussed.
• Please provide feedback and additional ideas

Again, these topics are still up for debate, so let us know how you would like us to proceed.

Thank you,
Tim
