<br>Ok so I've read all the main posts about this new leadership, roadmap and community council. Although is it really needed?<br></blockquote><div><br>You bet it is. If you have read all the posts then you would be aware that many Australian Ubuntu users believe that there are shortcomings in the organisation, or lack of it, jeopardising the efficient functioning of Ubuntu-AU. Presently there is no-one accountable and no-one other than the mailing list that you can approach. There is no cohesion and all efforts are those of individuals doing whatever they feel like doing. Another word for the present state is "Chaos".<br>

<div> </div><div>Yes, lots of things, there is no-one to co-ordinate individual efforts - everyone just does whatever suits them. Opportunities to promote Ubuntu are presented, a call for a volunteer is made and there is deadly silence. Another opportunity is gone.<br>
<br> I honestly think this is all just a waste of time.<br><br>Your opinion is noted, however. I disagree with you. Nothing is ever a waste of time.<br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
Have the people that have proposed all this new change tried and work within the existing structure?</blockquote><div><br>What structure? There isn't one. That is the reason for the proposal. <br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
<b style="font-weight: normal;"> I haven't seen any evidence, </b></blockquote><div><br>Evidence of what?<br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
<b style="font-weight: normal;"> just someone that wants to propose a radically different structure.<br></b></blockquote><div><br>You mean that someone proposed a structure. It cannot be "radically different" since there is no present structure. <br>

Will a new website really change everything?<br></b></blockquote><div><br>Not necessarily but the new website shows what can be done. The existing website shows what has NOT been done.<br><br>We all have the right to express our opinion respectfully - you have done so and now, so have I.<br>
