The current council's term is coming to an end, which makes it time for another round of elections to be called. In addition to the council election, the council is looking to call elections for the Hildon Foundation Board given that the current board is occupied only by appointed directors. Council chair Alexander Kozhevnikov announced the election timeline and rational last week: As many of you are aware, the Hildon Foundation Board of Directors has come to be filled with all unelected Directors.

There has been some significant desire to have a reelection take place once the infrastructure migration issues were settled.

[...]

It is the position of this Council, that this Council was always intended to count as the Hildon Foundation Council. And thus we have the authority to trigger both elections simultaneously.

Furthermore, even besides this point, a careful consideration of the Bylaws and the timings of the resignations and appointments of Directors from the Board, indicates that an election should have already been triggered by the Bylaws themselves.

[...]

Thus, we hereby announce the elections for both the Hildon Foundation Board and the Council.

Nominations for the board and council are open, so if you have an interest in running for one of these positions, or know someone you'd like to see run, send an email to the community mailing list at maemo-community@maemo.org.
