-	1) ''Where do you see maemo.org in 1 year? In 5 years?''	+	<nowiki/><FONT color="blue">1) ''Where do you see maemo.org in 1 year? In 5 years?''</font>
-	~~- At least as vibrant as today. I hope many maemo OS users will stay faithful and sailfish will have some positive impact.~~	+

-	2) '~~'What do see you~~ as ~~the primary role for the Hildon Foundation Board of Directors?''~~	+	: A year ahead, I'd expect the community at least as vibrant as today. We still get new members every day and I believe many maemo + meego users will stay faithful. And if our Harmattan-devices will run sailfish OS and probably even vice versa, there is a promissing 5 years perspective IMO.
-	~~- To represent the~~ maemo-~~community for official practices~~.	+

-	3) ''~~How~~ do you ~~envision~~ the ~~relationship between~~ the Hildon Foundation Board of Directors ~~and the Hildon Foundation Council/Maemo Community Council~~?''	+	<nowiki/><FONT color="blue">2) ''What do see you as the primary role for the Hildon Foundation Board of Directors?''</font>
-	~~- As maemo.org now is completely community-driven and is represented by the council, I believe the BoD should fullfill demands from council and suggest topics to them.~~	+

-	~~4) ''Are you able~~ to ~~attend board meetings at least monthly?''~~	+	: Actually the HiFo-page states "The Hildon Foundation is a nonprofit organization elected by the Maemo Community to handle community oversight and infrastructure."
-	- I ~~gladly am ;-)~~	+	: I'd change it to something like "The Hildon Foundation is a nonprofit organization elected by the Maemo Community to represent it for legal and other official practices and to preserve the maemo.org infrastructure."

-	5) ''~~Do you own a Maemo device?~~ do you ~~(regularly) use a~~ Maemo ~~device? Are you at all interested in Maemo and its community~~?''	+	<nowiki/><FONT color="blue">3) ''How do you envision the relationship between the Hildon Foundation Board of Directors and the Hildon Foundation Council/Maemo Community Council?''</font>
-	~~- I'm a happy N9 camper and this community with it's spirit just fascinates me.~~	+

-	6) ''What kind of collaboration do you expect to see from Nokia, to ensure survival of the most important assets?''	+	: As maemo.org now is completely community-driven and represented by the council, I believe the BoD should provide service for community/council demands where needed. Close collaboration is a requirement here.
-	~~- There~~'~~s not much to expect~~ I guess, because the relation seems quite screwed. But I do hope the contract once figured or somehow adjusted can finally be set effective. ~~And that~~ one fine day ~~they~~ will give Meego a 2nd chance, acquire Jolla and we lived happily ever after... :-)	+

Though chances are low, I'd support any attempts to gain Harmattan assets wherever possible. Oh, and one fine day Nokia will give Meego a 2nd chance, acquire Jolla and we lived happily ever after... :-)

	"My views on the community and it's future are very similar to many already expressed by many candidates already. We need am immediate focus on the present, both in keeping current services running and getting the legal items needed to continue to function as an independent entity. For future goals, we as a community will naturally grow toward another platform as Maemo ages. Weather that is Jolla, a MeeGo device, an independent start-up, or something as yet not even visible in the market place, in the end that's for the community to decide. But I'm willing to bet that the direction will be pretty uniform when it happens."<ref>[http://lists.maemo.org/pipermail/maemo-community/2013-May/005887.html '''Craig Woodward's''' nomination]</ref>		"My views on the community and it's future are very similar to many already expressed by many candidates already.

		+
		+	I will also answer [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90505 questions from TMO] here:
		+
		+	<pre style="color: blue">1) Where do you see maemo.org in 1 year? In 5 years?</pre>
		+	: I see maemo.org currently as slowly winding down with a core group that is dedicated to this wonderful line of devices, who will remain as long as there is interest. I am hopeful that over the next 1 to 3 years the community will be invigorated again by adoption of a new system and/or device, be that community driven (like the GTA04) or a commercially driven (like Jolla, Samsung, or another open provider).
		+
		+	<pre style="color: blue">2) What do see you as the primary role for the Hildon Foundation Board of Directors?</pre>
		+	: I see HiFo's primary role as being a support for the community, both in keeping vital systems running/funded, and in handling legal tasks that a loose-knit community legally can not handle. That includes handling donations, dealing with contracts for services, and maybe even having discussions and building relationships with companies or similar groups the community is showing interest in or could benefit from having ties with.
		+
		+	<pre style="color: blue">3) How do you envision the relationship between the Hildon Foundation Board of Directors and the Hildon Foundation Council/Maemo Community Council?</pre>
		+	: The HiFo Board exists to serve the community. The HFC/MCC exists as a channeling point to funnel the thousands of voices into a more coherent stream of thought. The Board serves, and acts as a check for, the HFC by reviewing and acting on their requests as appropriate. This service should be done in a timely fashion, and as openly as possible.
		+
		+	<pre style="color: blue">4) Are you able to attend board meetings at least monthly?</pre>
		+	: I have attended Council and Board meetings with regularity, even when not on the Council or Board. I plan to continue that regardless of the outcome of this election.
		+
		+	<pre style="color: blue">5) Do you own a Maemo device? Do you (regularly) use a Maemo device? Are you at all interested in Maemo and its community?</pre>
		+	: I currently own two N900, one of which is my daily use device. The primary was a pre-order, and was one of the first batch sent out. The other I picked up about a year ago, and do occasional testing on, though I tend to do that sparingly as it's my "backup" device in the event of hardware failure on the first device.
		+
		+	<pre style="color: blue">6) What kind of collaboration do you expect to see from Nokia, to ensure survival of the most important assets?</pre>
		+
		+	:Sadly, due to several factors over the past 6 to 9 months, I see very little collaboration with Nokia in the near future. At best we will strike a reasonable name use agreement, and retain that until one group or the other ceases to exist. (And frankly, it's unclear to me which will cease first.)
		+
		+	:While I do see a very loose line of communication with Nokia long term, I do not suspect we will see any additional support from them beyond what is currently in place.

		+	Here's a brief introduction of myself:
		+
		+	I am self-employed in the domain of videoproduction, mainly as a cameraman.
		+	In april 2012 I purchased a N9, my first linux device and you can imagine I needed some help with it. So I joined the maemo community and what I've found here instantly comprised me. Since then I am a daily visitor of the forum and later on agreed to help maintaining the wiki.
		+	So my practical experience with Linux and IT in general is limited, but I think it's not the most important thing for a position like this. I do believe though that a healthy common sense about what is good for the community is invaluable.
