And maybe I should've put a disclaimer: I'm speaking with my FLISOL hat on
-not as a member of the Ubuntu community-. I've been part of the
international coordination of FLISOL for the last five years/editions, and
it has not always been an easy task. I don't know if you remember, Efrain, a
few years ago when some people from a certain community tried to hijack
FLISOL? (I'm not saying that this is the case with Canonical)
