There are still lots of experts in Nokia about Maemo. I can think of lots of circumstances where having an engineer to talk to from Nokia could be useful for numerous projects. Don't blame me for your lack of imagination.
If I do need a Nokia engineer to talk to, I will find one on IRC or at t.m.o. Having said that, "your are not supposed to do that" and "it is done for your own benefit" are two most common responses people get from Nokia engineers. Neither is very constructive. I have got a long list of such cases from Faheem by the way.

Perhaps you should listen then when someone who knows more than you tries to correct "as far as you know". Quim has a limited amount of time, yes he provided the budget for the sponsorship but he could do other stuff whilst the council decided who got it. The council was also involved in choosing the event and helping organise it. Similarly, the device queue requires some admin work, reminders and triage - all roles the council perform.
So, the budget has still been provided by Quim, right?

Why would I get back to you? You've made your mind up. I'm not going to try to dissuade you any more, I've got better things to be doing.
I used "me" mostly to avoid using "us". But it is ok, let me rephrase it: Please, get back to us, here, on t.m.o, once you achieve some tangible result in your Council work. Thanks.
