Jussi Ohenoja, On behalf of the outgoing Maemo Community Council

Dear friends and Maemoans, as it happens we did not get enough confirmed candidates in the set nomination period, so according to the Council Election Rules we need to extend the nomination period by 4 weeks.

This will push all dates one month to future. The new schedule of the voting is as follows:

• Nomination period continues until Saturday 29.08.2015
• Contemplation period starts on Sunday 30.08.2015 and continues until Saturday 05.09.2015.
• Election period starts on Sunday 06.09.2015 and continues until 12.09.2015.

Currently we have 5 confirmed candidates. (endsormeans, juiceme, reinob, Win7Mac, peterleinchen)

On behalf of the outgoing community council,

Jussi Ohenoja

Summary of topics (ordered by discussion):

• Mailing list moderation
• Dead/old/obsolete content on entry page http://maemo.org
• Ongoing tasks: referendum, Code of Conduct, karma, e.V. sub pages, letter to Jolla

Topic (Mailing list moderation):

• Jussi found out accidentally that the mailing list maemo-community bounces back a feedback to non-subscribed senders like "message is suspended until a moderator checks the content". But mails ending up in a queue that has not been checked for the last 1,5 years.
• There was a short discussion about the way to handle:
  1.) we change the message to "posting is forbidden from unregistered accounts, please see bla bla bla..."
  2.) we actually get someone to check&moderate the postings. (council for example)
• At the end juiceme took over the responsibility to check those logs from now on and moderate the mailing list(s).

Topic (Dead/old/obsolete content on entry page http://maemo.org):

• On the top page of m.o are very old contents, like the announcements from 2013/2010. Furthermore the link to the "abandoned" Cordia project.
  And as I thought the Nokia links (which in fact are working and need to be there, at least the one to http://www.nokia.com/global/wayfinder).
  The one to https://developer.nokia.com is working, but not fully related to Maemo (but to MeeGo and therefore now MS).
• So the council/board should decide what to do with that Cordia link. And if we keep the announcements ticker on entry page for e.V. reasons, or remove it and use t.m.o as announcement platform (as they belong together now).

Topics (Ongoing tasks: referendum, Code of Conduct, karma, e.V. sub pages, letter to Jolla):

• Freemangordon showed up late and asked about contacting Jolla for fre(e)mantle source code support.
• These topics were again shifted to be discussed in next week's meeting.

• -- old items:
  • Check if karma calculation/evaluation is fixed. - Karma calculation should work, only wiki entries (according to Doc) not considered. To be cross-checked ...
  • NielDK to prepare a draft for letter to Jolla. - Obsolete
  • Sixwheeledbeast to clarify the CSS issue on wiki.maemo.org with techstaff. - Done
  • juiceme to create a wording draft for the referendum (to be counterchecked by council members). - See
  • Everybody to make up their own minds about referendum and give feedback.
  • Peterleinchen to announce resignation of DocScrutinizer*/joerg_rw from council. Done
• -- new items:
  • Next weeks tasks: referendum, karma check, voting for Code of Conduct, sub pages on m.o for e.V., abandoned link/announcement ticker

• Transition to Maemo e.V., referendum
• Open points, karma

Topic (DocScrutinizer/joerg_rw stepped down from Council?):

• A longer discussion about whether DocScrutinizer/joerg_rw stepped down from council, or not?
  At least he said so on TMO a few times, but did not yet announce something to Council or on mailing list. Also he did not yet answer to a mail sent by juiceme (in private). Neither did he appear for the last 4 weeks meetings.
  Therefore the Council sees him fully absent. And will try to get an official statement from him once more.

Topic (Transition to Maemo e.V., referendum):

• Juiceme's post request-for-comments on TMO about the relationship of the Council <-> the e.V. started to get some user comments.
  This discussion should continue on TMO and be the basis for the referendum text.
• Juiceme asked chem|st about creation of web pages (sub pages on maemo.org) for the e.V.: techstaff should be asked for arrangement and giving rights to board members (i.e. juiceme, nieldk).

Topic (Open points, karma):

• Short discussion abut open points. Especially the karma system.
• Karma recalculation is okay, only wiki edits (according to Doc) should not work correctly.
• Another point is/was the CSS bug on https://wiki.maemo.org.

• -- old items:
• Check if karma calculation/evaluation is fixed. - Karma calculation should work, only wiki entries (according to Doc) not considered. To be cross-checked ...

Topic (Meeting minutes posted):

• Short discussion about (delayed) posted minutes of meetings and midgard and its way to run/create TMO posts for those minutes.

Topic (Spam attack on wiki.m.o):

• Currently maemo.org experienced a spam attack. From some IP rangess known for spamming.
• It was 'successful' on some of the wiki pages, but tried to attack also other maemo.org sites.
• It was recognized and posted by a user on TMO. Apparently it was just a minor change and easy to recover.
• Techstaff set up some firewall rules to block those IPs and get rid of their sniffing/spamming.

Topic (Transition to Maemo e.V., referendum and membership registration):

• Another discussion on the referendum regarding the "Maemo council and election rules" and the way to prepare/publish it to user base.
• Referendum should be about:
  Win7Mac: I suggested - specify council duties so that it remains the major active party of community work AND honours the fact that Nokia got replaced by our own community organization, not only in regards to board 23:20
  Win7Mac: - rework council election rules incl. §6 (professional interests) and honoring the fact that Karma system is borked ATM, which results in inaccurate calculation of electorate and candidates. This may serve as an interim solution in hope of Karma system being repairable. 23:20
  Win7Mac: besides that, board already executes Council's (and General Assembly's!) rulings, see MC eV bylaws §7 (5): https://etherpad.mozilla.org/AMabik4zeD 23:43
• ;
• Regarding the ongoing and required changes on maemo.org sites, juiceme asked about list of users with their access level.

• Security check on m.o
• Transition to Maemo e.V., referendum and membership registration

Topic (Certificate issue on wiki.m.o):

• A certificate on wiki.maemo.org seems to have "refused" to be updated last month. Issue has been reported by user on TMO.
• Techstaff immediately resolved this. Big THANKS.
• Sixwheeledbeast expressed something about CSS misbehaviour on wiki pages (due to static.maemo.org). He was asked to write technical details to techstaff directly to get this resolved.

Topic (Security check on m.o):

• nieldk proposed to do a scan of maemo.org environment
• It was agreed that he may check maemo.org for latest vulnerabilities and do a general conformity test. NOT without informing our techstaff before doing so (on #maemo-admin or/and via e-mail).

Topic (Transition to Maemo e.V., referendum and membership registration):

• Discussion on the referendum regarding the "Maemo council and election rules".
• The referendum should be held regarding the "specification of council duties" and "rework of council rules". Please see this post/thread for more details.

• RzR pointed out to have mentioned last weeks given CoC (Code of Conduct) rules in that thread.
• 
  
• Discussion on the "active member sign up".
• The current form was sent out by chem|st and thanks to juiceme available for all.
• Some pros and cons were discussed, but in general the form was agreed.
• Sending way to e.V. for registration was discussed and answered by chem|st earlier that a scanned copy by mail would be fine. Together with some copy of ID/drivers license.
• Age of registration candidate was discussed. needs to be over 14 and in case of age below 18/21 a parental signature will be needed too.
• 
  
• Future of Maemo regarding monetary affairs was asked.
• Win/Mac gave the number of currently 3378$ (~2600€) to be handed over to e.V. With a view to free/low-cost hosting (IPHH) and free work of our techstaff this could sound sufficient, but will not suffice for long term...

• Sixwheeledbeast to clarify the CSS issue on wiki.maemo.org with techstaff.
• juiceme to create a wording draft for the referendum (to be counterchecked by council members).
