		+	I want to help. That's it. I've been trying to squeeze my head to
		+	think of a candidate declaration but I don't think I can come up with
		+	one. One thing that you need to know is that I believe that a
		+	community like us is going to fade away without devices, so I will do
		+	whatever I can so that we can have a new reference device, be it
		+	something community sponsored, or an adaptation for an unlocked device
		+	that's already out there from a reputable manufacturer, or a jolla
		+	device or something.
		+
		+	A little bit about myself:
		+	I am 27 years old, I live in Athens, Greece and I am a civil engineer,
		+	currently working as a web developer and graphics designer. I love
		+	mobile devices, open software, movies and photography, among other
		+	things. I am very much into user interface design, and I like to try
		+	every diverse device out there and keep the best ideas in mind.
		+	My first encounter with maemo was when I played with a friend's 770,
		+	but I came here to maemo.org with my N900, which I bought in an
		+	impulse. I had hardly used linux until then and I had never coded
		+	anything else than java (and a little bit of pascal). As the months
		+	passed, I wanted to have the experience I got on my phone on my pc too
		+	- I know this happens usually the other way around - and now I am an
		+	everyday linux user. I also got my hands dirty in qt trying to make
		+	speedcrunch a little bit more touch friendly. In the meantime, while
		+	the N900 always bulged in one pocket, the other pocket changed tenants
		+	quickly. Symbian was replaced by android and that with WP. When the N9
		+	came around that pocket got a resident too. The N9 for some weird
		+	reason made me want to code for it more than the N900 did, and so
		+	contactLaunch, mobilecrunch and rawcam came to life. Recently I bought
		+	a N810 so that I get a little bit of maemo history in my hands.
		+
		+	I haven't lived in many online communities but I find maemo to be cosy
		+	and friendly, and I want that to continue. I love the fact that people
		+	who moved to other devices still stay around and discuss, and that
		+	even threads like xxx vs Nxxx are still civilised and have useful
		+	discussion in them among the inevitable argument. I appreciate that
		+	most people here love their devices, yet they provide pretty objective
		+	opinions when a newcomer asks for advice.

I also got involved in a number of other activities that were Council and community related, and hope that those efforts have been (and will continue to be) seen as positive steps taken to help the community.

		+	I'm not promising I'll invest more of my time than available (which is pretty

		+	know me will also know whether to vote for me or not.
		+	Just one statement: In my book both council and board are services brought
		+	to community since community needs them. I'm not interested in any "internal"
		+	power (definitely falsely) attributed by some to either of those positions, I
		+	will exploit all the power/opportunities that such a position might give, to
		+	bring maemo ahead or at least keep it alive. But I'm neither maemo's master
		+	nor your referee, and I hope you'll call me out on that if ever my notion
		+	regarding that seems to have changed.
		+	I'm ready to help as much as my spare time and knowledge allows, and that's
		+	it. I'm not promising to become a better diplomat, I know my soft skills are
		+	poor regarding that, please excuse me already. Nor will I hold back with my
		+	notions regarding particular details of development or maintenance. I think
		+	and hope I could still act as a normal community member regarding that, and I
		+	hope you won't read every of my comments like I had a council hat on, it
		+	doesn't fit my head ;-). Now it's up to you.
