Interestingly, the second hit for me was a fascinating story about "Skating in the Vikings' footsteps":

Skating north, the wind at our backs accelerated, and so did we. And now there were two skaters coming toward us, fighting the wind. Far out on the windswept ice, we met. "Talar du engelska?" I asked. "Do you speak English?" "Yes, I do," answered Kristian Wannebo, who with his companion Ylva Öhrskog had skated upwind from Sigtuna, our destination. As Kristian pulled out his map to show us our whereabouts, a gust of wind tore it out of his hands, and all four of us raced after it in hot pursuit. Finally Kristian dove forward on his stomach, pinning the map under him.

We could have talked for hours, but the wind chill was getting to us, so we parted company. Minutes later Arjen and I glided into the Sigtuna town pier. The adventure was over; I had to catch a bus back to Stockholm. The next morning I flew home to Vermont, sad to leave Sweden, but fortified with a great treasure of new friends and new memories.

This is your main maemo.org account, you can choose (indeed you have to when making changes) which pieces of information to make public through a series of checkboxes.

Go to http://maemo.org/profile/view/kristianw/
Log in at the top right
Choose Page > Publish account details

However, I'd ask you to consider carefully the information you lock down - participation in a community functions best when people aren't anonymous. Having a non-anonymous community is a sign of respect and maturity - although there are obviously privacy concerns for you to balance.

EXACTLY, thanks Jaffa !

My point was, that some forum specific info on members should be able to stay within the forum.
Like, in this case, karma.

Unless, of course, the forum thinks otherwise.

Still, you had the nicest illustrations. I like the way the background is blurred out to make the AFB "pop out" like that.

GIMP FTW (inspired by Maemo 5 ;-))

Ah, but did you do the Gimp work on the N900? If you did, you get three stars on that level and a new high score.

Ah, I see what you did there. You asked a question of the new council. Clever :-)

No, not on the N900, I'm afraid.

You should see what mine looks like! http://www.google.com/search?q=Dave+Neary

Inside this forum we can be anonymous, and outside...
Personally I don't mind much,
but personal information should really not LEAK OUT of a forum.

Also, we promote openness in software,
and implicitly indicate superiority over the Microsoft world,
and should attempt superiority in security.

Please forgive my heavy-handed approach to the subject,
but it is really a matter of principles of integrity.

The goal is not that inside the forum you be anonymous. You created a maemo.org account, and you put your full name in the account. What gave you an expectation that your name & username would not be associated anywhere? And how does disclosing your name infringe on your privacy? Does a name now count as "personal information"?

I speak only for myself, but when I register and post on a public forum, I have no expectation that my name & username will not be publicly displayed. I *do* have an expectation that email address, phone number and physical address will not be displayed or shared with 3rd parties unless I authorise it.

Cheers,
Dave.
