Canonical at Solutions Linux in Paris

[Efrain Valles]

Can we bring this up to CC council?

It seems like it is something everyone should now... even if it has
happened once or twice. It is soemthing that comes to me with great
shock and I think this is definentely not in Canonical's
plans"</naive>". Please let's discuss this in hte community council. in
front of all the community. Yann ... are you willing to bring this ups
again?

P.S. Eventhough your frustration is greatly reflected by the use of "bad
words", I suggest you don't use them in the CC council meeting.
