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.

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.

As per a clarification of miscommunication within the Council, I am happy to announce the following:

As Council Chair, I'm declaring Council nominations to be retroactively re-opened until October 28th, and voting will occur for Council from November 2nd through the 8th. I encourage others to consider their own nomination for Council as well.

As for a decision on the process going forward with the Board, that's still in debate at the moment internally. To date no election has been started. I am hopeful that will be clarified soon.

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).

As the auto-poster may not catch this in time for it to be announced formally here by 23:59 UTC, I'm posting notice of the next Maemo Community Council election, as well as the first Board election.

Details can be found on the Community Council Blog, and at the associated TMO discussion page that will follow.

Estel_,

I'm starting to tire of this pattern of behavior.

This is not IRC or TMO, not that this level of immaturity is acceptable on those media either. But this forum, in particular, commands a bit more respect.

If you want to ignore someone, just do it. There's no need to announce it or to try to belittle others before doing so. Doing either of those reflects more on YOUR immaturity than it does on that of the person you're trying to insult.

Keep in mind every time you do something like this now, you're not just damaging your own reputation, but that of the entire council.

Sorry you missed it, but I assure you, it was there. As I noted, this wasn't contained entirely in the one thread I linked. In fact, that thread was the most civilized discussion around it. To clarify: the debate wasn't about them discussing things in the MeeGo sub-forum.
