What means don't contribute to ubuntu dev...

[Mark Shuttleworth]

Marco, please take a deep breath, and take the trouble to read carefully 
what people are saying.

Everyone wants very much to work with you, but they cannot do that if 
you don't make the effort to read, and listen, and participate as a team 
member. You rush, and offend people by your unwillingness to work 
*together* with folks. We all want Ubuntu to be a success, and I believe 
that you want the same thing. We want it to be higher quality, more 
interesting, and deliver the best of the amazing work done by the free 
software community. But we can't achieve that if some members of the 
team act without listening.

People have been asking you to think more, talk less, learn more, push 
less, ask more, tell less, and you have not been listening to them. It's 
bad for a project if it allows that to happen too much, it tells people 
who ARE team players that their team skills are not appreciated. So 
every good project has a process for deciding that it can't work with 
someone any more. You are well down that process now, but you haven't 
stopped to wonder why!

So I must say the decisions taken by the MOTU council are binding, and 
unless the CC chooses to review that position, which I don't think it 
will, you need to respect them. In time, I'm sure folks will welcome you 
if you demonstrate that you can collaborate with people, and not offend 
and irritate people in your communications. It's up to you to prove that 
you can do that. People will just ignore  you if you shout more, they 
will only listen if you talk quietly and have clearly thought a lot, and 
listened a lot, and learned a lot, before you talk.
