Hildon Foundation Board of Directors election opened

The Hildon Foundation Board of Directors election opened on Saturday 2013-06-22 last week. It will run for 7 days, ending at 23:59 UTC on Friday 2013-06-28. The candidates are: Ryan Abel, Andrew Flegg, Win7 Mac, Krzysztof Kuska Rüdiger Schiller, and Craig Woodward. The list of candidates and their nominations are available on the wiki. A questionnaire thread for candidates was also posted on the forum (the last link in this post), the candidates' answers and their nominations are recommended reading before voting.

Emails with voting tokens went out to eligible voters on Friday. maemo.org users with a karma of 10 or higher and an account at least 3 months old are eligible to vote. If you feel you are eligible and did not get a token, check in on the election thread on Talk (second link in this post).

Please remember to cast your vote. Good election turnouts are appreciated by everybody involved with maemo.org, and can be especially invigorating for an incoming body. It also helps ensure the elected candidates will be acceptable to a broader range of community members. Even casting an empty ballot is useful if you'd like to register your protest of some part (or all) of the election.

Aligning Maemo Community Council and Hildon Foundation Council

Last week, Joerg Reisenweber announced that the membership of the Maemo Community Council and the Hildon Foundation Council would change to accomodate the merger of both councils into a Unified Council:

"As I am sure you know by now the objective of the recent Referendum was to align HFC and MCC together, hence forming a Council with similar rules including a few tweaks to adjust to new practicalities; instead of being a Nokia conduit. This will allow the two bodies to be aligned for the current and any future term. Hildon Foundation will therefore be left with one Council and a Board of Directors. In future this shall result in a single election performed for the unified council. For the above to happen it is required that the elections for HFC and MCC members are to be the same. This unfortunately didn't happen and we are currently left with one different member in each body, out of the five."

sixwheeledbeast and Kash will still play a role in the decision making processes for the new Unified Council, and the unification of the two bodies should hopefully reduce confusion and unnecessary bureaucratic contortions.

Dear community.

Firstly we would like to thank all the people who voted in the recent elections. Your say matters and it's important that you "the community" have your say on who will represent us. As I am sure you know by now the objective of the recent Referendum was to
align HFC and MCC together, hence forming a Council with similar rules including a few tweaks to adjust to new practicalities; instead of being a Nokia conduit.
This will allow the two bodies to be aligned for the current and any future term. Hildon Foundation will therefore be left with one Council and a Board of Directors. In future this shall result in a single election performed for the unified council.

For the above to happen it is required that the elections for HFC and MCC members are to be the same.
This unfortunately did not happen and we are currently left with one different member in each body, out of the five.

The members of the Councils to be aligned are:

Maemo Community Council
 Rüdiger Schiller / chemist
 Joerg Reisenweber / joerg_rw
 Christian Ratzenhofer / merlin1991
 Michael Demetriou / qwazix
 Aakash Sadh  / thedead1440

Hildon Foundation Council
 Rüdiger Schiller / chemist
 Joerg Reisenweber / joerg_rw
 Christian Ratzenhofer / merlin1991
 Michael Demetriou / qwazix
 Paul Healy / sixwheeledbeast

We feel three bodies will cause great confusion to the community and will be counter-productive.

Therefore to solve matters, sixwheeledbeast and thedead1440 stepped down with immediate effect from HFC and MCC respectively. While they step down to allow the alignment of the two Councils into one singular body, the current Council
for its term must listen to the opinions the aforementioned two may have on any topics before council reaching a consensus.

Hence the aligned Hildon Foundation Council members now are:

Rüdiger Schiller / chemist
Joerg Reisenweber / joerg_rw
Christian Ratzenhofer / merlin1991
Michael Demetriou / qwazix

We believe the above is an important step for moving the Community forward with a unified Council in the post-Nokia era.

So:
MCC  hereby declares the bodies of HFC and MCC to be one single body in perpetuity.

Further,

MCC agrees to align all future changes to be in line with HFC's procedures of change so that the Bylaws are adhered to.
and:
HFC hereby declares the bodies of HFC and MCC to be one single body in perpetuity.  Further, HFC accepts as it's own all existing rules, electorate processes and generals of MCC, including future changes, as it's own.

Regards
Maemo Community Council & Hildon Foundation Council coalition.

Title: TeamViewer on Waldorf Crunchbang 64bits

TeamViewer is a remote control tool that can be found on the TeamViewer web site.

Only package for ubuntu are provided, but the package can be installed directly on Crunchbang.

Except for the 64 bits version where some dependancies aren't installed correctly (the 32bits libs). Waldorf is based on debian testing and so use multi arch. We need it to install teamviewer else at the first launch we will got an tvwine.dll.so missing error.

We need to activate first the arch i386 :

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update

Then we need to install missing dependancies :

sudo apt-get install libxext:i386 ia32-libs

Title: BitPurse, KhtNotes and KhtSimpleText development version

Date: 19/04/2013

Each time code modifications in the github repository of KhtNotes, KhtSimpleText or BitPurse are pushed,
drone.io build a new debian package of the apps for Harmattan.

So if you want to try development version of KhtNotes, BitPurse or KhtSimpleText,
now you can without building them yourself
