So you identfied robbiew, dustin, jcastro and skaet as people that have a
differing opinion about contributions than the DMB has, i hope you are aware
that canonical has nerly 500 employees, why does everyone here seem to think
that what less than 1% of the company employees say reflects the attitude of
canonical ?

did anyone talk to the persons individually ? what did you do to sort this
in an individual manner with the respective person ? or did you just think
"screw it, these canonical bastards again, sigh" and blame canonical for
their opinions ?

i *really* dont see anything thats related to the complaining parties being
canonical employees here apart from community people making that
interconnect in their mind apparently.

wrt robbies complaint about kate being turned down on her first attempt i
also dont think thats canonical related at all, i agree with robbie that
persons in certain important positions (persons of which you are sure they
will be around further and people where membership is an important part of
their work they do on ubuntu) probably should get special treatment with a
quick path to membership ...

but thats my own opinion and totally unrelated to employment in any company,
there are rare corner cass where a fast path to membership would make sense.
