And that has a lot to do with the "being less excellent to each other"
made by point Michael Mosbey (+1 on that, BTW).
More to the point, would jihadubuntu not be against the code of conduct?
So long as a community respects the code of conduct and makes reasonable
effort to remind its members of the code in its fora, etc. (as members
of ubuntu.com fora and lists do, from time to time), then where is the
offense?
If the community uses the Ubuntu bandwagon to promulgate philosophy that
runs counter to the code (is less excellent to everyone else), that's a
different story.
main() {
printf("Be excellent to each other\n");
}
