@Win7Mac,

Thanks. What's the date of entry? does that mean, the date when one joined maemo.org or the date of entry into the Maemo e.V.?

Which data is mandatory? (address? telephone? irc? -- I don't do IRC --).

Cheers.

edit: Sorry I gave wrong info above!

IRC registration is mandatory optional but of course "nice-to-have" as meetings eg General Assembly will be mostly conducted via IRC.

Unbelievable, but after having "resisted" for more than 20 years I have now started to use the IRC (registered with freenode anyway).

Now all I need is to reinstall Mosaic (for Gopher and Elm and I'm all set

Nice! For me it was only 10y.
So you are welcome to join #maemo and of course #maemo-meeting next Tuesday 20:00UTC

Date of entry is after maemo.org account, so I am pretty sure this is the date of garage account creation. As you will sign the form on the lower left with (the current) date.

Afaik the real name, address and the birth dates (besides the garage.maemo.org account) are mandatory.
irc and phone not.

But wait for Win7Mac to confirm.

@Win7Mac
maybe the form should clearly state that?

Absolutely right!

I gave wrong advice in my first post, I did not notice the first date box at all, I was looking at the date filed down the page, next to your signature!

Thanks for the hints.
I've updated the application form and marked the mandatory fields with *.
Would be nice if you look up the creation date of your garage account under https://garage.maemo.org/account/.

Application sent!

Mama, I'm a member of something! )))

Not just yet... MC eV Board has to confirm first.
That will be your entry date to MC eV.
But... since I see no reason why chemist and juiceme would deny that - a very warm welcome already!

I hope many others will follow!
Remember, regular members only will elect the next Board in the next General Meeting which is supposed to happen in Q1 2015.
Hopefully the transition from HiFo will be completed by then.

Please don't rush, not all at once and just one application form per person please!
ok, had some discussion with board and updated the application form on their behalf again.
Mandatory personal info that needs to be submitted now is:
- Salutation
- Full real name
- Country
- Accountname (garage.maemo.org)
- IRC nick (registered @ freenode.net!)*
* Registered IRC nick is needed to verify valid voters. Board elections will be held there by raising voice, not via the maemo voting engine.

We hope this better suits your right to informal self-determination.
Either way, this is a relation based on trust. Be aware that providing false info may lead to immediate exclusion.

Sooo... join the club! So far, there's only 7,5 of us...

Please be aware that MC eV is not yet resposible for any official maemo matters, it is still waiting for handover of HiFo assets.
