The new Launchpad team is ready

[José Antonio Rey]

Let's quickly fix a concept here.

Being a Canonical employee gives you *absolutely no rights whatsoever* to
do whatever you want in the community. It only means you were hired by a
company, and we don't care what the position is. Respect and trust still
need to be earned. Even more, you may be at Canonical and not help Ubuntu
AT ALL.

So please, stop mentioning if someone was a Canonical employee. We only
care about what they have done with the Ubuntu community when it comes to
the meritocracy we have.
