Great. Which mailing list?

Love the implication that I didn't. Invalid.

Not interested in a pissing contest about your resume. Being a programmer does not make you unique or even naturally qualified to operate an NFP. The fact that you don't point to your work on other foundations, but instead some vaguery about unrelated skills, does not engender confidence or validate the tone you've taken. The Hildon Foundation needs people who understand the issues that the maemo community faces.

Not "directors." One "director." One unelected "director." Nobody can figure out why he does what he does, which is a huge part of the problem. The fact that SD69 thought that some pseudorandom dude on some mailing list was a good plan shows more about his failure as a director than it does about your motives. Your passive-aggressive jab about your assumptions regarding nobody else 'stepping up,' when we've been demanding an election for a while now, doesn't sound promising. I look forward to a first-hand account of why you assume that your presence on the board is the great boon you seem to assume it will be.
