Valorie (and the other 3 election candidates) I have no problems asking questions over e-mail. So, here are my two questions: 1. After Canonical decided not to sponsor the Kubuntu Project, Kubuntu seems more unwelcoming to Canonical decisions. For example, on the vUDS + rolling release affair, both Jonathan Riddell (Riddell) and Harald Sitter (apachelogger) wrote blog posts that even alarmed Mark Shuttleworth (sabdfl) to reply. How would you try to improve the relations between Kubuntu and the general Ubuntu Community, or even better, Canonical? 2. Jonathan's blog post ( <a href="http://blogs.kde.org/2013/03/06/ubuntu-community-community">http://blogs.kde.org/2013/03/06/ubuntu-community-community</a>) has made some other Ubuntu official distributions a bit worried. There are IRC discussions in Xubuntu's development channel and mailing list discussions in Lubuntu's mailing lists. For most of them discussing, they felt unhappy. Of course Jonathan has disclaimed that he isn't trying to tether up relations with other people or flavours (I believe that), but then, how would you try to establish better relations with other flavours? I hope that my questions will not be too difficult to be answered and hope that Riddell won't kill me:P Regards, Howard Chan (smartboyhw) Kubuntu member P.S. I am subscribed temporaily to the users mailing list now. <div class="gmail_quote">On 2013-5-2 下午4:22, "Valorie Zimmerman" <<a href="mailto:valorie.zimmerman@gmail.com" target="_blank">valorie.zimmerman@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> Hi Howard -- how about asking us questions in email? An IRC meeting sounds fine to me too, but many list members aren't on IRC. I'll try installing mumble again, and see if I have better luck in 13.04 than I did in 12.10.
