Implying you care about community and I don't. Highly arguable and an implicit

Implying that it wasn't stable neither self-driven before win7mac showed up.
Evidently wrong.

Incorrect since "the idea of an eV was put into words" by me myself long
before win7mac knew what's IRC or council or HiFo.

he's claiming intellectual property of some fact that I made win7mac aware of,
long before that thread he pointed to started.

Neither win7mac nor HiFo at large is any authority for council. No matter how
hard win7mac tries to insinuate the opposite. Any perceived disrespect from my
side is based on that fact that there is no authority to respect and somebody
tries to force me to change my mind regarding that. No, I won't!

Like win7mac and estel_? Or like woody who replied a polite answer from my

fuzzy and vague. But better than not saing anything about it, or admitting
that the original "General Meeting>Board>Council" is plain wrong, eh?

No! I explained that to win7mac a dozen times already. Council CANNOT become a
subordinate part of any other entity and that entity's rules, unless community
approves new MAEMO COUNCIL RULES by a referendum. Him insisting in such magic
change of council rules allegedly happened is starting to feel rogue and
sneaky.

Irrelevant to maemo council and the maemo council rules. It's for sure a
regulation that's as good as it gets and would work as long as BoD and General
Assembly would not insist in redefining stuff but simply would agree on acting
according to the spirit of the whole thing. Particularly General Assembly
would need to accept that council is the only valid community representative
and Assembly must not fight council but cooperate with it. Actually such
general assembly is the problem that been known from beginning and everybody
thought we can keep it small and cooperative, based on a maybe half a dozen
trusted intelligent honored community members who understand the problem and
act accordingly, cooperating with council.

Nevertheless all this is what I said from beginning, and the relativity in it
isn't a problem as long as no obtuse members of General Assembly or BoD turn
everything into a WW-I battlefield.

Nice! Extort council. Very democratic.

Council doesn't have the duty of "wanting to take influence", it has a
stewardship function and executes what community asks for. The WHOLE
community, not some appointed members of a eV. Then it tells BoD about such
wishes from community (after discussion internal and with community) and "the
Board of Directors executes the Council's ... rulings"

And you are the inventor of cooperation, right? IIRC it's been you calling me
names when I told you I won't take orders from you, particularly when I'm
busy.

While this isn't about evolution but rather keep alive, I wish you would act

No. The legal entity is the *owner* which is something completely different
than the operator. First HiFo officially assigned the duty of *operating*
maemo.org to council. I pointed at that several times in this thread now, and
asked to have a read of HiFo meeting-minutes when in doubt of the correctness
of my words.

So far nobody had problems with it since we all where *aware* that things
changed and that some of the rules don't apply anymore, or need interpretation
to match the changed situation. We had more pressing afairs so far in council
that to start a referendum to change things just for formal reasons.

Vague, and unclear intention of statement. Insinuating that council has lost
contact to reality? Maybe _somebody_ has, actually. Implicit insult?

Then why isn't it there already? It's not about the possibility to implement
such rule, my concerns are exactly about the *desire* (or rather the obvious
lack thereof) at side of those who came up with this stuff and vowed "it's ONE
HUNDRED PERCENT IDENTICAL to maemo council rules and HiFo bylaws". IF there
was any such desire, then such stuff would already be there. To hope for it
getting implemented when needed is a pipe dream.

So what? Nobody forced you to redefine community though.
MCeV got the regulation that members get accepted (or rejected) by parts of
the eV (forgot if BoD, council, GA, whatever).
***Why not use this rule to *limit* the number of members (which form the GA)
rather than trying to expand it to the 60000some members in garage? As already
explained above, a half a dozen of honored members in GA would for sure be
able to cooperate with council and community (though I already lost all faith
in that to be a true statement, it seems even in half a dozen you already have
at least 2 who want to fight instead of cooperate)

Talking about respect a lot, huh? If only you had some for council, instead of
patronizing and educating them, INCORRECTLY.
And for the Maemo Council Rules.

You maybe suggested a referendum, yet you all the time state stuff that
completely ignores the fact that such a referendum is needed to change the
rules and right now they are NOT what you perpetually state they were. Maybe
one day eventually they will be what you hope them to be and will fit into your
concept, right now your concept is INCOMPATIBLE to the rules and you
constantly deny that fact and bash me for pointing you at it.

I'm not attempting *anything*, I'm covering my rear since I consider the stuff

Insult. But hey, also style. When arguments get thin, wording gets bold.

Dunno where your moral lives, mine always been in my head.

wiki democracy for that, for a start at least.

anyway all of them are about a lot more than just "accepting majorities"
If you however meant "Shut up joerg! Me and two other guys ganged up to do it
different, so you finally should accept that we are stronger (=majority) than
you, and stop pointing at the flaws of our plan" then you're thoroughly
mistaken on what democracy means.

Oh fine! Tell that Chemist about his offsite backup infra coup.
However I don't get it what you're talking about, I announced that my activity
will *end* here and now. And actually *all* my maemo community related
activity will end, after sending this post. You won, community will nominate
you for some title. Don't let estel_ hand the price to you, he will take it
for himself.

Which would be? Shoot my head? Shoot yours?
If that's still been too complicated for you: I ALREADY DID act in
consequence, and that I write this one last post is just for community, not
for you.

On a sidenotr, seems that's not you to decide that, and a number of voters

are you really so obtuse? I already asked you what in
>>>Nominees with a professional interest in Maemo, such as working for Nokia -
or any other company involved in Maemo-related software development - must
declare their interest when advertising their nomination<<<
makes you think so.
Maybe the next sentence
>>>Failure to do so may result in the Nokia Community Manager, or the outgoing
Council, declaring their nomination invalid and so bar them from standing in
the current election.<<< - huh?
READ AGAIN!
As you yourself already conveniently pointed out, I did NOT fail to declare
my "professional interest"
So stop spreading utter lies! It falls all back to you. And it clearly shows
that with such a MCeV it's not my fault when stuff goes haywire. You yourself
also pointed out that the whole thing can only work based on mutual trust and
cooperation. Sorry my dear when I fail to sense any will for cooperation and
also fail to feel any trust when it comes to you.

Indeed. that's why I divorced from maemo. I got my local backups, don't need
the rest, really!
Farewell, maemo!
