- Chairing the maemo.org sprint meetings, and representing the community
- 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 current Sprint.
