Stephen Gadsby has been nominated for Community Council by Jeremiah Foster. Stephen is the current karma leader on maemo.org (by over a thousand points) and has been handling the weekly bug jar reports for longer than anyone can remember. I haven't spoken with Stephen about this but I'd very much like it if he decided to serve on the Maemo Council. I think he would be an excellent representative of Maemo software users. He has a long history with the project, high karma, and is smart and reasonable. Stephen hadn't accepted the nomination when the period ended.

RM Bauer has announced his running for a second term on the community council. I will nominate myself which makes three. As a current member of the Council, my actions and ideas for the community are well known so I won't repeat them now. Robert established himself as the community council chair over the past year, and anyone who has been following the community mailing list or the actions of the previous council will be largely familiar with his standpoints.

As the nomination period closed, only three candidates were in the running: Jeremiah Foster, RM Bauer and Momcilo Majic. This, according to the election process, means these three candidates will become the next Community Council.

RM Bauer says this may be an important election and council term. There will be a referendum that authorizes future councils to change the governance structure of the maemo community.

Stephen Gadsby was nominated but did not accept.

RM Bauer has provided more information on the referndum which will be held at the same time as the upcoming Community Council elections: The referendum does not require the next Council to change the governance structure of the community in any specific, or even any unspecified, way. It merely establishes that Council may change the governance to adapt to events which have occurred since the current governance was established several years ago.
