This is the proposal for a Community Council based on the [[Task:Community Council|proposal]] from the [[100Days|100 Days brainstorm]].

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. | The maemo community currently lacks focus for its issues and ideas.
