Iván Gálvez Junquera
Nomination made on the maemo-community mailing list at http://lists.maemo.org/pipermail/maemo-community/2012-April/005043.html

''"I volunteer to the Concil for this next year. I'm pretty sure I won't have too much spare time but I can promise I won't leave without notice or move to any other platform in the years to come."

Piotr Jawidzyk
Nomination made on the maemo-community mailing list at http://lists.maemo.org/pipermail/maemo-community/2012-April/005019.html

''"As for myself, I would like to try my best @ helping to organize infrastructure governed by community, without Nokia's roadblocks. Don't get me wrong - despite my personal opinion about our "Nokia friends", I don't plan to go into "war" with them. I realize, that "friendly divorce" is much better for both parties, and would like to negotiate best terms of it.

''Here we come to another thing - despite common opinions, Council doesn't have any "special tools". Really. The only difference from regular users that we have, is community mandate to talk with Nokia at Community behalf, and respect'n'trust - or lack of - from Community, that helps (or not, in second case) to coordinate projects, find solutions, settle small argues etc."...

Joseph Charpak

''"I've been a maemo user from the N800 days, although I actually started with the 770 when it dropped in price due to the release of the N800.. I've been an avid follower of TMO since its ITT days. As a council member I would strive for more transparency in council actions. As a starting point I would ensure that announcements would be made weekly through the council blog, with a new post to the ask a council thread on TMO as well."
