The talk.maemo.org subforums were shuffled around a bit this past week to move the Jolla Sailfish subforum up a level from Alternatives and a separate subforum for Jolla hardware was created under Devices: Talk about Jolla as company goes to general and off-topic, please. We are here about Devices and Platforms not about Companies.

David Greaves sent an email to the MeeGo-dev mailing list to warn of the upcoming shutdown of the MeeGo OBS around May 29th: I should have announced this earlier but I've been busy; sorry. Please ensure you've taken backups of anything you need - once it's gone it really will be gone!
David suggests that anyone needing to buil open source projects against Mer, Nemo, Plasma Active, or Sailfish OS should use the Mer Community OBS. Details are available on the other end of the link.

win7mac raised some important questions yesterday on Talk about the actual timeline of the Hildon Foundation Board election: May I ask what is the state of BoD [Hildon Foundation Board of Directors] elections? Official Election timetable states '2013-05-21: Nomination Period for BoD Ends. Presumably. Rest TBD', on the maemo-community list so far we have 2 nominees only, the voting page states 'Starting 2013-06-20 23:59:59 UTC: Hildon Foundation Board of Directors Election Q2 2013', and the [ELECTIONS] [COUNCIL] news aggregator states (since weeks) 'In a few days this post will get augmented to also explain the 4th election that you might have heard about: HiFo BoD election.'
Hopefully the timeline is clarified soon. The politics that have resulted in both the need for an early election and the confusion in the current timeline will hopefully not cause additional trouble.
