Finally accepting his nomination close to the deadline (and after last week's issue was finished). Rob has been a member of the last two councils. Whilst they've been relatively introverted, Rob's been their public face. Rob's terse acceptance resulted in a field of seven candidates for the five person council. Election tokens should be sent out shortly.

{edit:Estel} has pointed to a bug report following on from a package naming clash in Extras-devel recently. Niels Breet, responding to the bug said, I agree that the check should be fatal instead of just a warning. It would be good if someone can help out with adding that feature to buildme. We can clean up packages one by one, but this won't make other packages rebuild. This is why it would be very nice to have everything in OBS :)

Iván Gálvez Junquera has proposed a rearrangment of the forums in talk.maemo.org, which would combine some existing categories and create some new ones. The proposal looks like this: 1.

2. Archive section OS2006 / Maemo 2 / Mistral - Scirocco - Gregale
