Scott,<br>besides myself there other debian/ubuntu contributors which also contribute to getdeb, when they do it for an official project you classify them as insiders, and on other project, outsiders ?<br>What part of our work is not available to the Ubuntu community from both users an developer's perspective ?
<br>How does creating a project with a different methodology, goals, and resources make us "outside" Ubuntu ? <br>As per your comment there is an "Ubuntu inside" certification that we can get somewhere, how do I get such certification ?
<br><br>I do believe that when doing volunteer work we can do whatever we like to do, I find very odd to receive negative comments, not because we are doing something wrong, but because we are not doing ONLY what some people believe is right.
<br><br>Do you have any arguments against the project besides the "outsiders" tag ? I do expect to get those so that we can better identify improvement opportunities.<br><br>Thank you<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">
