This is the proposal for a Community Council based on the [[Task:Community Council|proposal]] from the [[100Days|100 Days brainstorm]]. It is a work in progress to be thrashed out over the next 30 days, so these ideas are fluid and will change frequently.

{| width="100%" style="text-align: center"
-
The maemo community currently lacks focus for its issues and ideas. There are a lot of great minds with lots of good ideas but they lack organization and focus. The council will serve to help distill and focus these ideas (from the maemo.org mailing lists, IRC, itT, Bugzilla, etc), bring them to Nokia's attention, and seek to understand Nokia's position on these issues and help to explain it to the rest of the community.

== Structure ==

-
The council will be composed of 5 community members to be elected by the community with 1 member as the council chairman. The chairman will be selected by the council after the completion of elections and requires a majority vote of 3 out of 5 council members. If no majority can be reached, the chairman will be the member with the most community votes. Potential candidates must have 100 karma points on maemo.org.

== Get in contact ==
-
* The council will hold monthly IRC meetings with Quim to discussion new issues and progress on existing issues.
+
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.
-
* Distill community issues to bring to Nokia's attention.
+
 
-
* Help manage community involvement (e.g. [[Maemowiki Action Group]], [[100Days]] and [[2010 Agenda]])
+
* 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.
 +
 
 +
If you've posted something and want to ensure the council sees it; please email council@maemo.org.

== 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.
 +
 
 +
== 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.
 +
 
 +
To keep track of the ongoing work, see the [http://maemo.org/community/council/ council blog] and the summary below.
 +
 
 +
'''''The current (Q2 2014) council has decided to have a wiki page for there [[Task:Community_Council/Council_Q2_2014/Agenda|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'':
 +
 
 +
* 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
 +
 
 +
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.

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.
