Hi everyone,

sorry for the spam mail, but I had to test if lists.maemo.org is working again.

If you got this mail, then the mailing-lists on lists.maemo.org should be functional again.

Thank you for your time,

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?

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.).

Hi all,

We're trying to track down 2 missing device prizes from the coding
competition (we've tried a few Nokia contacts over the past while but have
had no luck with responses). 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.

[sending again since I did a nasty oopsie with last one, attachment been
multipart ;-D Sorry!]

Just as a friendly reminder see attached mail from Andrew (Jaffa).
Just claiming there are "issues" is a tad thin.
Since you (board) are inheriting those new servers today or tomorrow anyway,
it is the absolutely most cost efficient place to host tmo right now (actual
cost: zero), given Nemein is willing to set up a plain VM for this purpose.
Running the VM will be basically for free.

Hello,

The subject says it all.

Once the services are read only we will start rsyncing data to the new
hosting. As soon as this move is completed we will verify the new setup
and if all goes fine will apply the necessary DNS changes.

I just want to ask if you are OK with the timing: today, 2012-12-18 1600
(UTC/GMT +1) ?

Cheers,
ferenc

Hello Maemo Community!

We have big problem with repositories. Two months ago GPG key for
downloads.maemo.nokia.com expired and Hildon Application Manager
refusing to install or reinstall packages from these
repositories. Part of downloads.maemo.nokia.com is OTA and OVI
Store repository.

TMO <http://talk.maemo.org> forum started being part of maemo.org more than
3 years ago with funding from Nokia.

Seems that the mechanism to send emails and create TMO threads for Board
posts is not working again.

Original source:
<a href="http://maemo.org/community/board/nokia_to_provide_support_in_migration_of_maemo-org_services/" title="http://maemo.org/community/board/nokia_to_provide_support_in_migration_of_maemo-org_services/">http://maemo.org/community/board/nokia_to_provide_support_in_migration_o...</a>

In a conference held by Nokia, Nemein and the Hildon Foundation, Nokia has
offered to help economically in the process of migration. The details for
starting the migration are under discussion.

Nokia is already working with the Hildon Foundation in a legal document to
cover the transferring process of maemo.org assets.

Minutes for first Hildon Foundation Board meeting. VoIP meeting held on
Google Hangout.

Why don't you do this on your own? Go to TMO and find ANY post by Estel. You can then look up the user profile by clicking his name, and see *all* posts (most recent first). Just review the past dozen or so posts, and you will see him being just as offensive and baselessly accusatory there as he has been in this thread.

By Tim Samoff, chairman of the Hildon Foundation Board.

Dear Maemo Community,

As long-time supporters and contributors -- and, in all humility, quite
honored to be counted among all of you -- we, the inaugural Hildon
Foundation Board felt it necessary that we put forth an open, public
statement about how we feel the "Board" should be considered and engaged
with.

At this point, the first Board meeting minutes have been published for
public review. As we hope you'll see, it is nothing but the Maemo
Community's best interests that we are concerned with.

Based on historic review, the following seems to be the only viable option for this process.

After confirming with the [election rules][1], and [historic precedent][2], the case for five [Maemo Community Council][3] candidates seems to be very clear.  The case for five is a "no election" scenario, granting the candidates full Council-ship.

This being said, it brings me great pleasure to announce the new, Q4 2012 Maemo Community Council:

* [Alexander Kozhevnikov / Mentalist Traceur][4]
* [Iván Gálvez Junquera / ivgalvez][5]
* [Joerg Reisenweber / joerg_rw][6]
* [Michael Demetriou / q

This is exactly why I put such wording in our current bylaws. :) Though again: IANAL, and the way it is legally interpreted my or may not hold up to scrutiny if challenged. Regardless, the first meeting with the Directors and incorporators will have to be via audio conference as they bylaws are not yet in place to create said exception, if we can do so at all.

As noted by Estel, it may be feasible to negotiate and converse via IRC, and then do a quick audio conference to confirm the summary of the items so they are legally actionable.

According to edit appended to this post:
<a href="http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=1282399&amp;postcount=120" title="http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=1282399&amp;postcount=120">http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=1282399&amp;postcount=120</a>

...Radall stepped down from Board, just after end of election. It was kindly brought to our attention by lma, here:
<a href="http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=1282803&amp;postcount=9" title="http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=1282803&amp;postcount=9">http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=1282803&amp;postcount=9</a>

Frankly, what this mean for Foundation, and how it will proceed from there, is unknown.

For those who haven't been following along with [the discussion][1]:

* Board elections have started, and will close on October 18th.
* Council nominations have re-opened and been extended until October 28th.

The [election thread][2] has all the details, including the new time tables.  Thanks again to MisterC for creating the [candidate declaration wiki page][3], and to Andrew for helping with clarifications and nomination validation on the [community mailing list][4].

For those who don't know, I'm Mentalist Traceur on the forums. My user
account on the remainder of the maemo.org site is mtraceur. After
considering the comments that have grown in the last day and a half or
so on the thread here ( <a href="http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=87061" title="http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=87061">http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=87061</a> )
it seems to me that it would be best (although I might regret
mentioning it again if it leads to even more quarreling) to throw my
self-nomination into here.

Fr 28.

I'm Woody14619 on TMO and currently a member of the Maemo Council.

During my last run for Council, my stated intention was to increase the visibility and transparency of the operation of Council. During my term, I saw to it that there were weekly open meetings with minutes presented to the community on the Council blog (usually in a timely fashion).

The nomination period for Council and the Board of the new Foundation are ending in [just under 48 hours][1].  To date we have had NO submissions for Council and only two for the Board.  If there's no interest in keeping Maemo.org going, ignore this and it very well may go away.

Also, what may be the final version of the bylaws ([version 5][2]) has been posted on the TMO thread where there's been a lively discussion going on.  For those involved in that, thank you.  For those who would like to check them out and comment, please hit the link.
