Clearly, I'm excited (or something). I'll resubmit this after the

Fwd: Self-Nomination for the Maemo Board Members delegation...

Hi again, everyone... Just so that I'm placed in the running, I'm
resubmitting my (early) submission. ;)
Thanks!
Tim

Hello Maemo Community!
While I've been silent on the mailing list and TMO for a while, I've
continued to lurk and participate in other venues like Twitter and
Facebook. In fact, I still submit Maemo news to mwkn.net often.
But, that's all moot in my mind.
Most of you who know me will hopefully agree that I am passionate,
dedicated, hard working member who has put countless time and effort
into the Maemo cause. I have served on three terms of the Maemo
Community Council (one of those terms as the Chair); I have spearheaded
several community efforts (the m.o website redesign, contests,
application development, UI/UX improvement, conferences, etc.); I have
presented talks; I've volunteered; etc.
Most of your who know me will also know that none of this work was done
from a developer's point of view. I came to the Maemo Community as a
user (the N800 was my first Maemo device) and that's how I initially got
involved. My first involvement was in the discussion forums (back then
it was still itT) [0]. Then, I moved on to lodging bug reports [1].
Then, since I am a designer, I began helping folks with graphics and UI
design. The list could go on and on, but my main point is just that I am
really still who I was back when my N800 first arrived in the mail: a
passionate user. In fact, my main handset (by choice, not by necessity)
is the Nokia N950.
One must possess 100 Karma points or more to be nominated for this
position. I have 1,586 [2].
While I haven't been interested in taking part in Council business over
the last couple of years, I am still very interested in seeing the
advancement of (and even helping to steer) the community into the
future. I don't see a lot of hope for Maemo as a specific "product" of
any sort (which, in the end, may end up disqualifying me from running
for this position), but I am still very hopeful for the community at
large. Maemo is more than just a product anyway, it's a philosophy. And,
more than any other open source community that I've been involved with,
Maemo community members are the most transparent, dedicated, and
involved in the life of that philosophy.
I would be honored to come back aboard with a group of whose job is to
negotiate this community's future.
Thanks,
Tim Samoff (timsamoff)

hi Tim,
thank you for coming back to Maemo.org in a troubled time like this and
being willing to put hand to its future!
i only joined Maemo.org about 2 yrs ago and didn't start posting on TMO
after Feb of last year and we haven't crossed pens very often if at all yet.
on Woody's suggestion i have taken upon myself to maintain the election
wiki.
( http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_Council/Council_election_Q4_2012 )
(( will update the Candidate page later today... ))
would you be available for a Q&A timsamoff Board of Director candidate
thread ?
i would post the same (basic) questions to all such threads (for each
candidate, thus) but it would also be interesting to have a place where
everybody may ask and / or request clarification upon answer.
best regards,
misterc

the last couple of years, I am still very interested in seeing the
advancement of (and even helping to steer) the community into the
future. I don't see a lot of hope for Maemo as a specific "product" of
any sort (which, in the end, may end up disqualifying me from running
for this position), but I am still very hopeful for the community at
large. Maemo is more than just a product anyway, it's a philosophy. And,
more than any other open source community that I've been involved with,
Maemo community members are the most transparent, dedicated, and
involved in the life of that philosophy.
I would be honored to come back aboard with a group of whose job is to
negotiate this community's future.
Thanks,
Tim Samoff (timsamoff)
