Introducing the fourth Maemo Community Council

The election is over, and the new Maemo Community Council has been announced: Ryan Abel, Randall Arnold, Javier S. Pedro, Attila Csipa and Andrew Flegg as chair. About 400 votes were cast, and the new council's hit the ground running with a minor revamp of the council homepage and integration between the council blog and talk.maemo.org:

MeeGo: "Day One"

MeeGo has reached "day one": the source code has been released, the bug tracker open and the first of many weekly snapshots released. Also released are complete OS images for Atom-based netbooks and the N900, allowing your device to boot into an xterm and explore the lowest levels of the OS.

Thanks, Jaffa, for carrying (nearly?) the whole weight of this issue. Got distracted by Easter Sunday stuff and it completely slipped my mind.

I owe you an issue, then!
