I also hereby announce my self-nomination for the upcoming Hildon Foundation Board election. My name is Craig Woodward, I generally go by Woody14619. I joined the Maemo world as an excited N900 pre-order member in late 2009. I was mainly a forum reader and mild script editor for some time, mainly because my RL work deals with micro systems, so the last thing I wanted to do when coming home was work on more stuff for a micro system. In mid-2012 I ran for Council and was elected one of 5 members for the term. During that term, three of the Council founded the Hildon Foundation to become the legal body under which Maemo could continue to survive when Nokia decided to pull the plug (which was announced as happening before we took that action). In addition to being one of the three founders of the Hildon Foundation, I am also currently a director via late appointment, after Ivan's early exit. (I'm hoping nobody holds that against me...) Currently, the Hildon Foundation board is </pre> woody-groups 2013-05-21T18:20:36 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.handhelds.maemo.community/5422 <pre>Well, I've decided to toss my hat into the ring for the Hildon Foundation Board election. Most of you who've been around the Maemo Community for a while probably know me. If not personally, I'd guess through reputation, but for those of you who don't: Hello, my name is Ryan Abel. I go by GeneralAntilles online. I've owned a Maemo device since the beginning of 2006 (around the time the 770 became available in the US), and began participating on Internet Tablet Talk at that time. I began contributing seriously to Maemo in 2007 when timeless helped get me involved in bugzilla. In 2008, Andrew Flegg (Jaffa) proposed an idea that would help put the Maemo Community in charge of its own direction. Jaffa's idea became the Maemo Community Council. Simon Pickering (lardman) and myself were involved with helping Jaffa to bring that idea into fruition. All three of us served on the inaugural council (myself, as a rather inexperienced chair) and on the 2nd council (and Jaffa and I on the 4th council). Since then, I'v</pre> Ryan Abel 2013-05-20T18:25:52 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.handhelds.maemo.community/5421 <pre>2013/05/10 Council Meeting Minutes Attending: [HFC + MCC] - Rüdiger Schiller (chemist), Joerg Reisenweber (joerg_rw), Christian Ratzenhofer (merlin1991), Michael Demetriou (qwazix), Aakash Sadh (thedead1440), Paul Healy (sixwheeledbeast) Guests: [HiFo BoD] - Rob Bauer (SD69), Craig Woodward (Woody14619); MentalistTraceur Log: http://mg.pov.lt/maemo-meeting-irclog/%23maemo-meeting.2013-05-10.log.html Topics: MCC - Introduction of new councillors to council environment by qwazix.

Since you seem to enjoy voting we plan to host a few more elections to keep everybody busy :) It's a great pleasure to announce the new Q2 2013 Maemo Community Council Rüdiger Schiller (chemist), Joerg Reisenweber (joerg_rw) Christian Ratzenhofer (merlin1991) Michael Demetriou (qwazix) Aakash Sadh (thedead1440) and the inaugural Hildon Foundation Council Rüdiger Schiller (chemist) Joerg Reisenweber (joerg_rw) Christian Ratzenhofer (merlin1991) Michael Demetriou (qwazix) and Paul Healy (sixwheeledbeast) I am very happy to be able to serve maemo for another term, and I am even happier to have the opportunity to collaborate with people that have offered so much to this community and spent timeless hours to keep maemo alive and kicking. I firmly believe that all of us will do whatever possible (and even more) to help this community prosper, now that the hardest part is behind us.

Is it possible to change this now, or am I screwed? I haven't voted in the HFC yet until I get this sorted out. </pre> Shawn Jefferson 2013-05-01T02:50:36 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.handhelds.maemo.community/5415 <pre>I am honoured to be nominated for the Maemo Community Council and Hildon Foundation Council and I accept the nomination. The reason that I do accept despite that I have recently said otherwise is because I feel that a vote with many candidates is needed to provide legitimacy to the elected council to take the actions required. My goal for the next term is to minimize the needless bureaucracy that has made our life difficult the last few months and part of this effort is the combination of the two bodies MCC/HFC into one, as I firmly believe there is no need for two different councils. I will appreciate if you show everybody that this is the community's will by voting identically for both bodies. Lastly I'd like to point out clearly that I don't believe there is an old school maemo camp nor a harmattan camp here, and I have tried to prove this by sharing my development efforts almost equally to both platforms. There are fremantle users and harmattan users and I am proudly both.

Another body with similar functionality is however provisioned by the ByLaws of the Hildon Foundation. We need to set up election rules for this new body (Hildon Foundation Council) and transform Maemo Community Council to Hildon Foundation Council. The Maemo Community Council election rules ( http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_Council/Election_process ) are a good base to start with, but they have a drawback: While there is a provision to avoid unelected members for less than 5 members, this provision does not cover the actual number five resulting in all 5 candidates to be appointed councillors (what has currently happened). This should be corrected and the clause "If fewer than 5 candidates stand for election, the 3 with the most votes are elected to the council. " must be changed to "...fewer than or equal to five...". For the same reason, the clause "</pre> mentalisttraceur-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w< at >public.gmane.org 2013-03-24T22:02:58 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.handhelds.maemo.community/5376 <pre>Hi everyone, sorry for the spam mail, but I had to test if lists.maemo.org is working again.

As you can see from the community conversation regarding your response — here, as well as various social media circles — most of our members want more. The Hildon Foundation appreciate the invitation to become "true pioneers," but in all honesty, the Maemo community has been a true pioneer for many years now as a unique open source initiative combining developers and users with a community repository of applications and platform components. This being said, we understand that Jolla is a future that we would like to help make successful if possible. Currently, neither Jolla nor any Jolla affiliates affiliates (Mer, Nemo, Sailfish OS, etc.) have any sort of "community," user base, or public space for communication to speak of. These assets can be extended if, for example, you are interested in a community repository, cross-platform development, or helping developers migrate to Sailfish. We had already intended to provide a public space for Jolla</pre> Tim Samoff 2013-01-10T19:47:36 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.handhelds.maemo.community/5373 <pre>Hi, Is Hildon Foundation now owner of garage autobuilder? Does Hildon Foundation have plans to upgrade Maemo or only keep it alive? (bylaws: "maintain software repositories and developer tools") Who decides what tools, libraries, compilers and so on autobuilder is using? More precisely: How I can vote what autobuilder will use? Set of device installable packages is not the same set than packages installed on builder (server or local SDK), but tools determine what can be build. -Aapo Rantalainen </pre> Aapo Rantalainen 2013-01-06T19:50:12 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.handhelds.maemo.community/5368 <pre>=== A publicly available blog post from the Hildon Foundation, which contains the exact text found below, can be found at: http://hildonfoundation.org/open-letter-from-the-hildon-foundation-to-jolla/ === Dear Jolla, Happy New Year! And, congratulations on your successful launch in November. We were all watching in hopeful anticipation and were pleasantly surprised. You are doing things that many of us never thought possible. Like Jolla's open ecosystem, Hildon Foundation has also been born as the only fully incorporated, non-profit organization with a mission to promote open source software derived from Maemo. So, naturally, it makes sense that our organizations should cooperate with each other. Hopefully, you won't mind that we're publishing this as an "open letter" on our blog (http://hildonfoundation.org/open-letter-fr…ation-to-jolla/) in the hopes that a greater community dialog will occur. If you would like us to conduct any of our conversations privately, just let us know. As some of you are a</pre> Tim Samoff 2013-01-04T01:58:38 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.handhelds.maemo.community/5366 <pre>Happy New Year Maemo Community! As we move into the new year, we’re also faced with a very new phase of life — that is, complete control of the maemo.org infrastructure, meaning community governance of the Maemo Community and everything that it implies (community servers and software repositories, various maemo-related software and technology, the talk.maemo.org forum and wiki, etc.). It’s a lot to fathom, but we are certain that if any community can handle it, this one can. Fundraising Likewise, most of you know that the new changes require that we, as a community, foot the bill for all of these new responsibilities. Late last year, we began a fundraising drive that began on TMO and then received a permanent home at http://hildonfoundation.org/support/. If you haven’t donated yet, please consider it. You may donate any amount. Just keep in mind that you money really matters — it is what will help to keep this community alive and functioning. Volunteers Now, more than ever, we need your help. </pre> Tim Samoff 2013-01-01T22:52:56 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.handhelds.maemo.community/5364 <pre>Hi, You probably know that the SSL setup on vcs.maemo.org is broken. The certificate and the private key file do not match. The certificate will anyway expire on the 3rd of Jan, 2013.

Would anybody know anyone inside Nokia who might be able to assist us with locating these two missing devices? One was to be sent to maemo.org member netvandal and one to maemo.orgmember Wikiwide. Neither have received a shipping notification or tracking number, and nothing has arrived for these guys. The prizes for the other winners have been received fine long ago. If we could reach out to someone somehow and see if these devices were sent, and maybe if there is any tracking information for the packages, that would be a great start. If these devices are no longer available then at least we'd know not to wait for them anymore. If you'd prefer not to reply to the mailing list, please feel free to email myself directly or the competition 'catchall' address via *maemo*.* competition2012*&lt; at &gt;*gmail.com,* or reach out to any maemo.org c</pre> Ry F 2012-12-23T19:10:01 Search the mailing list at Gmane query http://search.gmane.org/?group=$group=gmane.comp.handhelds.maemo.community
