Open communication is one of the core values of the Maemo Community Council, both to serve as an example to Nokia and because it's the right thing to do. All communication is open by default.
-
[http://maemo.org/vote Three referenda] are being run from February 16 2009 until February 23 2009 to decide some procedural datas around elections.
+
* Community-related news, announcements, and calls for participation are summarized in the [http://maemo.org/community/council Council blog].
 +
* Council blog posts are syndicated to the [http://talk.maemo.org/forumdisplay.php?f=16 Community subforum] at [http://talk.maemo.org/ Talk] with a [Council] tag.
 +
* If you have a community-related idea or issue, please post it in the Community subforum at Talk.
 +
* Finally, Council members are usually present over IRC at freenode.net/maemo and are always happy to chat with you.

== FAQ ==
 +
{{Main|Community Council/FAQ}}
 +
Maemo Community Council members are unpaid volunteers who are '''not''' employed by Nokia Corporation. Likewise, the Council has not signed a non-disclosure agreement NDA with Nokia. Maemo Community Council elections are held every six months.
-
* March 2009
+
== Council work ==
 +
In addition to being committed community members (and all that entails), some of the specific responsibilities of the council include:
 +
* Facilitation: making sure that one portion of the community knows what is going on in another
 +
* Representing the community with regards to the paid maemo.org contributors
 +
* Hiring of maemo.org staff
 +
* Pushing to expand the community through organic growth
 +
* Being able to represent the community to Nokia, especially when dealing with sensitive information; for example, attendance at N900 launch as community reps.
 +
* Backup mentors for the [[GSoC_2009|Google Summer of Code]] participation.
-
== Purpose (Mission) ==
+
To keep track of the ongoing work, see the [http://maemo.org/community/council/ council blog] and the summary below.
-
* To represent the Maemo Community's best interests to Nokia, as well as act as a community conduit for Nokia-generated information.
+
'''''The current (Q2 2014) council has decided to have a wiki page for there [[Task:Community_Council/Council_Q2_2014/Agenda|ongoing agenda]].'''''
-
* ...
+
-
== Open Communication ==
+
The remit of the council revolves around the issues of the Maemo community. The council is not a consumer advocacy group (save for exceptional circumstances) as Nokia believes they have comprehensive consumer feedback mechanisms already. For example, the council ''can'':
-
Open communication is one of the core values of the Community Council, both to serve as an example to Nokia and because it's the right thing to do. All communication is open by default.
+
* Decide who gets sponsored to annual events like the [http://conference2010.meego.com MeeGo Conference] and [[Maemo Summit 2009|Maemo Summit]].
 +
* Be involved in budgetary decisions around maemo.org
 +
* Organise the [[Fremantle Developer Device Queue|developer device queue]]
 +
* Represent Maemo users and community at meego.com
-
* All Community Council oriented conversation will happen either on the [http://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-community maemo-community] mailing list, or over [[IRC]] in [irc://chat.freenode.net/maemo #maemo].
+
The council ''cannot'':
-
* Community and Council issues will be distilled and summarized in the [http://maemo.org/community/council Council blog] (which is also syndicated to [http://planet.maemo.org Planet]).
+
-
== Six-Month Roadmap ==
+
* Change Nokia's commercial decisions regarding end-user commercial grade MeeGo support on the N900.
 +
* Force Adobe/Nokia to release Flash 10.1.
-
* Review election process & electorate, etc.
+
=== Current hot topics ===

{{main|Community Council/Election process}}
 +
The 5 council members will be elected by the community. Elections are open to community members with an account over 3 months old and karma of 10 or more. Candidates can be anyone with a karma of 100 or above.
-
# Nominations will be accepted 2 weeks before the election begins from any community member with a [[karma]] of 100 or above.
+
A list of eligible candidates will be published a few weeks before the elections. Based on this, a list of candidate declarations is put together.
-
# Elections last for 1 week.
+
-
# Only community members who have had maemo.org accounts for over 3 months, and have [[karma]] of 25 or above, may vote. (Exception for first election: community members who have maemo.org accounts for over 3 months may vote - no karma requirement).
+
-
# Each community member gets one vote.
+
-
# The 5 nominees with the most votes are elected.
+
-
# Nominees with a professional interest in Maemo, such as working for Nokia - or any other company involved in Maemo-related software development - must declare their interest when advertising their nomination. Failure to do so may result in the Nokia Community Manager, or the outgoing Council, declaring their nomination invalid and so bar them from standing in the current election.
+
-
# There is no limit to the number of times a council member can stand for re-election.
+
-
# The date of the next election will be set by the council chair, not more than 6 months after the previous election.
+
-
# The election date must be publicised at least 1 month in advance of the election.
+
-
# If fewer than 5 candidates stand for election, the 3 with the most votes are elected to the council.
+
-
# If there are fewer than 3 candidates when the nominations close, the election cannot be held.
+
-
## The nomination period will be extended by 1 month and the election postponed similarly.
+
-
## If, after 1 month's delay, there are still fewer than 3 candidates; the outgoing council will decide - in conjunction with Nokia's Community Manager (currently Quim) - about how to proceed. The preferred solution is to encourage more members of the maemo.org community to participate and re-run the election, but ''all'' options are open.
+
-
# Changes to any of the above rules must be approved by community referendum.
+
-
## Voting in such referenda will be open to anyone eligible to vote in the council elections.
+
-
## The referendum options must be debated for a minimum of 1 month prior to the referendum.
+
-
## Referendum voting will be open for the same length of time as the council elections.

Get in contact

Open communication is one of the core values of the Maemo Community Council, both to serve as an example to Nokia and because it's the right thing to do. All communication is open by default.

  • Community-related news, announcements, and calls for participation are summarized in the Council blog.
  • Council blog posts are syndicated to the Community subforum at Talk with a [Council] tag.
  • If you have a community-related idea or issue, please post it in the Community subforum at Talk.
  • Finally, Council members are usually present over IRC at freenode.net/maemo and are always happy to chat with you.

If you've posted something and want to ensure the council sees it; please email council@maemo.org.

FAQ

Main article: Community Council/FAQ

Maemo Community Council members are unpaid volunteers who are not employed by Nokia Corporation. Likewise, the Council has not signed a non-disclosure agreement NDA with Nokia. Maemo Community Council elections are held every six months.

Council work

In addition to being committed community members (and all that entails), some of the specific responsibilities of the council include:

  • Facilitation: making sure that one portion of the community knows what is going on in another
  • Representing the community with regards to the paid maemo.org contributors
  • Hiring of maemo.org staff
  • Pushing to expand the community through organic growth
  • Being able to represent the community to Nokia, especially when dealing with sensitive information; for example, attendance at N900 launch as community reps.
  • Backup mentors for the Google Summer of Code participation.

To keep track of the ongoing work, see the council blog and the summary below.

The current (Q2 2014) council has decided to have a wiki page for there ongoing agenda.

The remit of the council revolves around the issues of the Maemo community. The council is not a consumer advocacy group (save for exceptional circumstances) as Nokia believes they have comprehensive consumer feedback mechanisms already. For example, the council can:

The council cannot:

  • Change Nokia's commercial decisions regarding end-user commercial grade MeeGo support on the N900.
  • Force Adobe/Nokia to release Flash 10.1.
