Candidate Declarations

endsormeans

I lovingly known as endsormeans throw my toupee into the arena of Champions and do hereby give many head-nods of affirmation as to my candidacy for the Maemo Community Council.

juiceme

My introduction:

Hi, I am juiceme and I am running for Maemo Community Council again.

Many of you might already know that I have been Maemo Council member for the last three consecutive periods. I also serve as a board member and treasurer of MCeV. I do have lots of other obligations currently so my time is pressed but being in the Council is such a fun that I decided to run for it again. :)

Originally my spark into joining maemo.org came when I purchased a N9 device, my first linux-based mobile phone. Previously I had owned Symbian devices since early nineties but I never did any SWDEV on those as my interests were on big iron. N9 was the first small embedded device that had the same tools I was used to working with so naturally I was delighted on the possibilities it offered.

I also am a latecomer to N900, since I just got one this year, but to be honest have not yet had time to twiddle with it too much :) I also have ordered a Neo900 to which I am looking forward to!

My current daily driver is the Jolla device (as I got mine on the very Jolla Launching Gala last november, it's the device #240) Recently I received my new Black&Orange TOHKBD2 for it which really completes the device nicely to fill the role of ever-present mobile linux terminal!

I have degrees in EE & ME, and some university courses in Maths before dropping out due to having not enough time to do family/work/university simultaneously. My current occupation is in SW development for Telecommunication Systems at Nokia. (This is the real Nokia I am talking about, nothing to do with Microsoft) Previously I have done RF design, HW design and Test System design. I have worked in this industry for about 2 decades.

My passion is Free Software, Libre software even, and I am known to be fairly vocal FS advocate on my workplace. I use exclusively Linux/Unix variants in my work and on my own time, and am known for pestering people to drop proprietary/legacy OS'es and switch to Linux.

My SW skills include c, python, test automation and tool creation. I like kernel work and prefer to use console over any GUI's. Usually my first take at anything is to write a bash script

Another okay,

I just decided to do it once more. Put me from undecided to "yeah, I go for it".

But let me state one thing: I like to serve council one more time and will happily accept if voted. But take a close look to the other (valuable) candidates, please! (something about me)

As "requested" by RzR:

  • My history:
- used lots of S40/S60 and other Nokias
- had used N95 (first true 'smartphone', loved it) and N97 (hated it) before, modded those Symbians a lot and had fun, but N95 should have had touch at (totally) delayed publishment and then there was no real "big development"
- started to use Maemo5/N900 around summer 2010, still am
- in summer/autumn 2012 I won a N950 and soon got me a used N9 to not stress the N950, hated Harmattan (due to aegis) and used it as dumbphone, but time by time (latest with open mode kernel) I started to love it too, and still do so
- 2015 may become year of Neo
- never touched Android, BB, iOS and will probably never touch the so un-like one. [okay I checked out my friend's ones, and ports to N9 do not count here ;)]
  • I am all in for the Maemo e.V. as I like Maemo to survive.
  • About Council I still see it necessary to be made of volunteers from (talk.)maemo.org members. They should be elected (of course not be equipped with a "power mandate"), as I do not see another way to catch attention of public and 'shanghai' them else. Further time will tell and maybe council can get abolished at a later stage (but definitely not with a 10 member e.V.!).

What is your take on - Neo900 - Jolla

Here are my POVs.

- About Neo I would like to see it succeed as soon as possible!

Lucky we are we have the FPTF team (few of the most talented/accepted devs on Maemo) so I am sure we will get Maemo on Neo. But at the same time I am 'concerned' about its company leader's view on Maemo and the joint points between Neo/Maemo. I would like him to change his mind again (of course the Neo will never come equipped with Maemo!). How to?

- About Jolla, I would like to keep my mouth shut. Just so much that I prolly will never touch a device. I liked the project but then they lost me (hardware wise, software/OS getting better, but in the end it was their CC behaviour). [-- I have to admit I still like the idea]

Nevertheless I still have the strong opinion we already do, and should keep to, provide those users a base here on maemo.org!

Cheers all,

I'd like to candidate for the next Council election. I believe I can arrange being available for IRC meetings, and I hope I can bring something to the community.

Thanks
