	As a council member I championed the welcoming of new members and rolled out a volunteer program called Maemo Greeters with a very simple goal: ask members to include helpful links in their talk.maemo.org signatures, thus easily propogating helpful info throughout the forum. The program was more successful than I had even imagined, growing through user suggestions to include multiple languages and a variety of resources and approaches. I see value in continuing this at MeeGo.<ref>[http://lists.maemo.org/pipermail/maemo-community/2010-March/003993.html '''Randall Arnold's''' nomination]</ref>~~<ref>~~[http://lists.maemo.org/pipermail/maemo-community/2010-March/004013.html ~~'''Randall's''' responses to the questionnaire~~]~~</ref>~~		"As a council member I championed the welcoming of new members and rolled out a volunteer program called Maemo Greeters with a very simple goal: ask members to include helpful links in their talk.maemo.org signatures, thus easily propogating helpful info throughout the forum.

	I have been in the Maemo Community for about two(2) years now and I have jumped right in wanting to find a way to give back. I found this way in theme making. In the past year I have created and released over a dozen themes. I have released themes for every Maemo device including the 770 which I did not get until after I already had my N810. I have tried to help get more people interested in theming for Maemo by publishing how-to guides and helping answer any questions I get from new theme makers.<ref>[http://lists.maemo.org/pipermail/maemo-community/2010-March/004011.html '''Andrew Black's''' nomination]</ref>		"I have been in the Maemo Community for about two(2) years now and I have jumped right in wanting to find a way to give back.
