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'':
-
=== What is the council ''for?'' ===
+
-
There have been a number of times when Nokia have asked for the community's input on something (for example, the [[100_Days|100 days brainstorm]]) and been met with either silence; or a cacophony of disparate voices. The aim of the council is for the community to have selected five representatives who speak with a more authoritative voice. These council members, elected for their views, can express their opinions safe in the knowledge that the community has permitted them to do so.
+
-
=== What is the difference between a council member and a committed community member? ===
+
* Decide who gets sponsored to annual events like the [http://conference2010.meego.com MeeGo Conference] and [[Maemo Summit 2009|Maemo Summit]].
-
Paperwork ;-)
+
* 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
-
More seriously, nothing much at all. Many of the roles and tasks council members will be involved in are no way restricted to just council members. It is, in all honesty, a facilitation role: doing what one would do normally, but also absorbing information from other sources to try and minimise any duplication and represent the community to Nokia; and itself.
+
The council ''cannot'':
-
It is expected that council members will attend more of the monthly meetings, and be aware of more community channels than otherwise.
+
* Change Nokia's commercial decisions regarding end-user commercial grade MeeGo support on the N900.
 +
* Force Adobe/Nokia to release Flash 10.1.
-
It has also been proposed that the council would have oversight of paid staff working for maemo.org.

=== Do council members get paid? Is membership a "reward"? ===
+
If you think a specific, high-level topic is missing from this table, please get in touch.
-
No. Council members will typically (but not necessarily) "do" more than another community member. The council are still community members, and have been selected by the community's belief that the views presented by the selected members will both a) align with their own views, and b) best represent the community's interests.
+
-
It is hoped that membership of the council will count strongly towards any future device discount programmes, or event sponsorship; but these are a) not guaranteed, b) relatively small.

No. The council does not know anything that anyone in the community couldn't find out. The only exception is that Nokia will sometimes warn the council about announcements shortly ahead of time to warn the council that their efforts in facilitating community discussion may soon be needed.

  • 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.
