Hi! So, a bunch of you were nominated into roles in MeeGo back at the TSG meeting[1] over a month ago, on the 9th of July. One of the purposes of nominations was also to help people know who to direct questions to instead of TSG.
Some of you have started appearing around the public MeeGo mailing lists, chat rooms or the likes, but many are still quite invisible. To that extent, I've done some analysis of who's appeared around either the MeeGo site, in TSG meetings, IRC or on mailing lists. This was done by something as unacademic as searching site:trac.tspre.org your name (for TSG meetings +other meeting logs) or site:meego.com your name and checking if there's any discussion/blog posts/whatever by you visible to the rest of us. Some might appear with nick/usernames on IRC/meego-commits mailing list that I didn't pick up or in bugzilla participation. If I'm wrong in my assessment, feel free to correct me :) To make this a little more fun instead, I'm picking up something that EIPI used to do for maemo.org - interview various people from around the community. This can optionally be used as input for wiki.meego.com/meego.com content describing your work areas and make people more aware of what you actually do within the MeeGo project (as well as motivate discussion with you). I know some of you are probably on vacation or have been busy up to now working on MeeGo to introduce yourselves (and thanks for the hard work!), but here's the chance. I'd like to ask, if you haven't jumped out into the open yet, to answer the following questions so we can get to know you in the wider community: * Could you tell us something about yourself and your background before coming into MeeGo? * What kind of work you do in MeeGo and how do you hope to evolve your area? * How would you suggest to a contributor wanting to get into your area of MeeGo, how they could get involved? And now, the lists: The heroes - people who are visible and active in the public (who are naturally welcome to answer the questions as well): Imad Sousou (TSG) Valterri Halla (TSG) Dawn Foster (Community Office) Quim Gil (Community Office) Arjan Van De Ven (Chief Architect) Sakari Poussa (Lead architect, Core) Mikko Ylinen (Lead architect, Handset UX) Hillarie Prestopine (Head of platform product management) Pierre Blouin (MeeGo Handset Program Manager) Alexander Kanevskiy (MeeGo Core OS release manager) Tommi Toropainen (QA lead for MeeGo Core OS) Sami Pienimäki (product manager for the MeeGo Handset UX) Petri Koski (QA lead for the MeeGo Handset UX) Veli-Pekka Vatula (head of the MeeGo QA team) Harri Hakulinen (N900 hardware adaptation team lead) Margie Foster (leads MeeGo's localization activities and team) And the people who haven't appeared out in the open yet: Shalinder Singh (Head of program office) Karl Gran (managing the MeeGo Core OS program) Gavin Hindman (product manager for the MeeGo Core OS) Chris Ferron (MeeGo Handset UX release manager) Martin Schuele (lead designer for the MeeGo handset UX) Mark Skarpness (manages the MeeGo compliance program) Terence Chen (head of the MeeGo release engineering team) Risto Lankinen (responsible for maintaining the ARM architecture-specific toolchain and libraries in MeeGo) Stefano Mosconi (manages MeeGo's IT infrastructure) Noel Arnold (technical writing support) Claire Alexander (chief designer for MeeGo) All of you sit on key areas in MeeGo and we'd like to hear more about you and from you, as you're some of the people moving MeeGo ahead. Thank you in advance for answering the questions!
