I accept the nomination. Let me share a few thoughts.
The past year or so has undoubtedly been quite a rollercoaster for people
involved with Maemo. Where does this leave us ? What all the announcements,
strategic directions and such cannot change are the several thousand
applications submitted to maemo.org, the 70 million downloads and the fact
that the N900 was and remains one of the (if not THE) most hackable Linux
device of the past year. Realistically, I would not at all be surprised to see
the number of votes less than in previous terms - after all, recent and not so
recent tectonic-scale events have left us without quite a few community
members. Still - as long as there are people interested in using their Maemo
devices with things from Extras and people hacking on them, we should deal
with whatever the future brings. We can give up any day - it's the going on
that takes effort. In that sense, if elected, my priorities for the next term
would be:
- Ensure compatibility with other Qt platforms by working on bringing up-to-
date versions of Qt and Mobility (essentially the 'MeeGo API')
- Cooperate with the MeeGo programme, esp considering the Developer Edition,
OBS and Surrounds efforts so that we maximize benefit for both people working on
those and Maemo folks (a bit sad to see timoph turn down nomination - he would
be an ideal candidate for this, but hey - at least I will be able to pester
him, David and Niels on the topic with some level of legitimacy)
- Bring out the most with regard to Nokia's upcoming "2011 MeeGo-related
device". While I understand many are skeptical about it's role and
possibilities, I have already stated that I do believe many underestimate it.
Whether it can/will eclipse the N900 as the choice for Linux hackers, I don't
know, but whatever the future holds, it will undoubtedly bring some things
that will be applicable to our little community and trusty N900s, too.
- Make sure maemo.org stays up - closely cooperate with all maemo.org
stakeholders to ensure maemo.org doesn't get it's plug pulled

As per the nomination rules - I'm stating that I'm currently working at Forum
Nokia in a developer support/consultancy role.
Best regards,
Attila Csipa
