Thanks for the nomination, but I think I will sit this one out, we've got a baby on the way in the new year so things will likely be a bit too hectic for me to be useful!

Congratulations and best of luck to your family

Id be happy to accept

I , endso ..
with a great amount of shock, bemusement and astonishment ...
accept the nomination.
My nomination acceptance speech is as follows:
A-hem..
" A vote for me is a vote for kindly rule with the velvet touch of the crushing metal gauntlet of tyranny.
Smush-ing spammers and setting fire to the flamers are my secondary priorities..

My primary priorities being ..
-needed cold showers of clarity for everyone to get them out of their collective lethargy, bitterness, wistful wishing for the "good old days", and / or their unrealistic demands of startups...
and to get everyone properly mobilised and fired-up with some seriously directed conviction.
(not to "plug" anyone...but take for example ...a guy whose name rhymes with "Benliangben" is definitely headed on the right track ..people..)

-(of course) promoting the salvage and proper storage of disappearing 3rd party maemo 4 apps...

-being the voice and the advocate on council for those members who still use the older devices..

-and lastly... fully endorse and support the R&D into outfitting cats with either Lasers...or tiny Rail guns..

Remember!
A vote for me is a vote for "INSERT IDEOLOGY HERE"


(In all seriousness though...all know I am an odd vocal individual with a penchant for even more odd humour ..but when the crunch comes and seriousness is required to solve something...I am ALL business...and then afterwards ...it is back to working on the harness prototypes for the cat lasers...)

I do hope I can meet the needed meetings...
(between the odd hours I work...and the time difference the meetings are usually held at...it does make things rather awkward ...to say the least...)


As far as nominat-ING goes...
I throw the following compatriots into the arena of certain peril..
wiki
juice
pich
kot
and
chen

(though doubtless some are far too busy to take on the chairs that need to be filled.)

Thanks for the nomination, but I've to step aside. My awaited workload for q1 jzst doesn't leave time for being any help to the council or the community
Thanks again
