- | < | + | <pre style="color: blue">1) Where do you see maemo.org in 1 year? In 5 years?</pre> |
: I see maemo.org currently as slowly winding down with a core group that is dedicated to this wonderful line of devices, who will remain as long as there is interest. I am hopeful that over the next 1 to 3 years the community will be invigorated again by adoption of a new system and/or device, be that community driven (like the GTA04) or a commercially driven (like Jolla, Samsung, or another open provider). | : I see maemo.org currently as slowly winding down with a core group that is dedicated to this wonderful line of devices, who will remain as long as there is interest.

- | < | + | <pre style="color: blue">2) What do see you as the primary role for the Hildon Foundation Board of Directors?</pre> |
: I see HiFo's primary role as being a support for the community, both in keeping vital systems running/funded, and in handling legal tasks that a loose-knit community legally can not handle. That includes handling donations, dealing with contracts for services, and maybe even having discussions and building relationships with companies or similar groups the community is showing interest in or could benefit from having ties with. | : I see HiFo's primary role as being a support for the community, both in keeping vital systems running/funded, and in handling legal tasks that a loose-knit community legally can not handle.

- | < | + | <pre style="color: blue">3) How do you envision the relationship between the Hildon Foundation Board of Directors and the Hildon Foundation Council/Maemo Community Council?</pre> |
: The HiFo Board exists to serve the community. The HFC/MCC exists as a channeling point to funnel the thousands of voices into a more coherent stream of thought. The Board serves, and acts as a check for, the HFC by reviewing and acting on their requests as appropriate. This service should be done in a timely fashion, and as openly as possible. | : The HiFo Board exists to serve the community.

- | < | + | <pre style="color: blue">4) Are you able to attend board meetings at least monthly?</pre> |
: I have attended Council and Board meetings with regularity, even when not on the Council or Board. I plan to continue that regardless of the outcome of this election. | : I have attended Council and Board meetings with regularity, even when not on the Council or Board.

- | < | + | <pre style="color: blue">5) Do you own a Maemo device? Do you (regularly) use a Maemo device? Are you at all interested in Maemo and its community?</pre> |
: I currently own two N900, one of which is my daily use device. The primary was a pre-order, and was one of the first batch sent out. The other I picked up about a year ago, and do occasional testing on, though I tend to do that sparingly as it's my "backup" device in the event of hardware failure on the first device. | : I currently own two N900, one of which is my daily use device.

- | < | + | <pre style="color: blue">6) What kind of collaboration do you expect to see from Nokia, to ensure survival of the most important assets?</pre> |
:Sadly, due to several factors over the past 6 to 9 months, I see very little collaboration with Nokia in the near future. At best we will strike a reasonable name use agreement, and retain that until one group or the other ceases to exist. (And frankly, it's unclear to me which will cease first.) | :Sadly, due to several factors over the past 6 to 9 months, I see very little collaboration with Nokia in the near future.

- | + | 1) ''Where do you see maemo.org in 1 year? In 5 years?'' | |
+ | - At least as vibrant as today. I hope many maemo OS users will stay faithful and sailfish will have some positive impact. | ||
- | + | 2) ''What do see you as the primary role for the Hildon Foundation Board of Directors?'' | |
+ | - To represent the maemo-community for official practices. | ||
- | + | 3) ''How do you envision the relationship between the Hildon Foundation Board of Directors and the Hildon Foundation Council/Maemo Community Council?'' | |
+ | - As maemo.org now is completely community-driven and is represented by the council, I believe the BoD should fullfill demands from council and suggest topics to them. | ||
- | + | 4) ''Are you able to attend board meetings at least monthly?'' | |
- | + | - I gladly am ;-) | |
- | + | 5) ''Do you own a Maemo device? do you (regularly) use a Maemo device? Are you at all interested in Maemo and its community?'' | |
+ | - I'm a happy N9 camper and this community with it's spirit just fascinates me. | ||
- | + | 6) ''What kind of collaboration do you expect to see from Nokia, to ensure survival of the most important assets?'' | |
- | + | - There's not much to expect I guess, because the relation seems quite screwed. But I do hope the contract once figured or somehow adjusted can finally be set effective. And that one fine day they will give Meego a 2nd chance, acquire Jolla and we lived happily ever after... :-) | |
