Hi,
Although Quim (and my) opinion is that maemo.org funding wouldn't
immediately disappear, a number of people have been pushing that the
Council should create, and manage, a fund which would be available for
use. Example usages might include:
* Paying for (reduced) hosting costs in the event of Nokia pulling the plug.
* Purchasing hardware if the device queue[1] dries up from Nokia.
* Rewarding key contributors (e.g. an annual prize)
What do people think? Obviously it'd be something for the next council
to consider and comment on during the election; rather than pushed
through in a final "lame duck" session from the current Council ;-)
The proposal, based on posts from Daniel Sandman and Luca Maneos can
be seen here:

Comments, as ever, welcome.
Thanks in advance,
Andrew
