Ongoing Ubuntu-AU debate.

[Cary Bielenberg]

This will be my last response as per your wishes Jared, I am saddened that you and Melissa stifle change, you misquote the code of conduct to server your own needs. I guess it will be good to trot  it out to stop folks challenging your authority. 

 Lots of luck in your dictatorship & whoa behold anyone who challenges  your authority. I guess I will be kicked off the list for this but I believe it had to be said.

Good evening Andrew and the Ubuntu-AU list,   Firstly I would like to say that I agree the Ubuntu-AU team could use a lot more people willing to help out as much as you have in the Brisbane area. I do however have some reservations about your ongoing tirade of emails about the ACC.   I would again like to point out to all members the Ubuntu Code of Conduct at http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct With this in mind I would like to draw attention specifically to the section:    “Please avoid flamewars, trolling, personal attacks, and repetitive arguments. On technical matters, the Technical Review Board can make a final decision. On matters of community governance, the Community Council can make a final decision. “   I have sat down tonight and seen yet again another post by yourself on the subject so it made me think about it some more. I have drawn up a table and worked out that of the 5 or 6 separate discussions on this t
 opic it boils down to 6 people who are for your ACC, 8 people who are against your ACC and 6 people that were either neutral to your proposal or off topic with other issues. I would then like to point out that the 6 people that were FOR your proposed ACC have contributed 40 emails to the list on the topic. The people who were AGAINST your proposed ACC have contributed 10 emails in total. The people that were NEUTRAL/OFF TOPIC to your proposed ACC have sent in 14 emails. This is a total of 64 contributions from 20 different people.   Please do not mistake a large number of emails to the list as a large groundswell of support, you personally have contributed 11 emails to this tally.   As far as I can work out unless a lot more people come forward to support your idea it doesn't seem to be gaining much traction when you realise there is 337 people on this list (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AustralianTeam/Re-Approval). If you add to that the fact that as a list administrator I have s
 een 12 people unsubscribe since the topic started less than a week ago you will understand this current email.   Unless there is a large number of people coming forward in the near future I don't think it's realistic to completely change how things are run when the way things are as we speak do not prevent anyone from organising activities beyond the scope of the aforementioned Code of Conduct.   Keep up with the good work with regards to promoting Ubuntu within Brisbane but I think it's time to draw to a close the ongoing campaign of the ACC. Regards,Jared Norris
