Sorry for any confusion that I may have caused. The remaining actions required of candidates are as follows:

1. email responses to the 10 questions that are listed below

2. email responses to the 3 community questions at:
http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...9&postcount=30


Once I get all candidates responses, I will publish a
post on my blog Mobile Tablets (http://mobiletablets.blogspot.com).

If you could be so kind as to get the initial set of 10 responses today, and the remaining 3 by tomorrow, that should work. I am hoping to finish compiling responses, preparing the post and
publishing by tomorrow, so as to have it ready for voting start.

I hope that helps, and many apologies for any confusion.


Questions from EIPI:

1. What is motivating you to run for Maemo Community Council?

2. Effective Council representation requires a commitment of
significant time and energy on your part. How are you planning to
fulfill your Council duties, while maintaining all your other
personal, professional and/or academic responsibilities.

3. The current Council has been criticized for lack of formal
communication on their activities. What formal methods and frequency
of communication do you believe are appropriate? Should all Council
members share this responsibility or only a select few?

4. The Maemo community has grown large, especially since the
introduction of the N900. With that, the issues the Community is
facing has grown in stride. Presently, there has been no formal
division within the Council, other than identification of a
Chairperson. Should members of the Council have roles or portfolios?
If yes, what portfolios are large enough to warrant a Council member
to devote a majority of their time to them?

5. Current terms are 6 months. Is this sufficient time for having
impact, or is it too short or too long?

6. The Council is privy to certain knowledge that a normal community
member is not. For you to function in your role, this is
understandable. However, the situation may arise where a subset of the
Council may be made privy to some knowledge, as happened recently with
the MeeGo announcement. Do you agree with Nokia's decision, or do you
think the entire Council should have been given the same information
at the same time, and under the same restrictions?

7. It seems that this term of the Maemo Community Council will be a
busy one with MeeGo unfolding, possibly a new device rolling out of
Finland, and of course, organization of the annual Summit. What
priorities do you think the Council should keep during this term?

8. There are many strong candidates running in this election. Some
have had open disagreements with each other in the past. How do you
propose to overcome such interpersonal differences while carrying out
your Council duties?

9. Previous Councils have put together proposals for new resources or
improving existing community resources. An example of this is the
creation of the role of Distmaster. What resources would you propose
requiring improvement, and why? What new resources would you champion
if elected?

10. MeeGo is our future. The future is unfortunately unclear at the
moment. The Maemo Community requires strong leadership at this time.
Can you provide a summary of your leadership style? What do you think
the Council's challenges will be with respect to MeeGo in the coming 6
months, and how are you planning on addressing them?
