I openly called you to come to the IRC channel were most of the people who are holding official and moral responsibilities within the team are present, and discuss your ideas or problems over there. Wrapping up the mess you have done in the last 1 week is not a solution. We are not people who are against your enthusiastic endeavors in any sense, we are only concerned of the over-enthusiasm in your past mails and sudden opening up of lots of parallel teams whose goal we weren't really been able to understand. If your aims were really pristine and genuine you should have rather resorted to talking to us guys on IRC. You can report this to any body of higher ranks in the Ubuntu community but also remember that you have left enough tracks to prove that you were a bit over-enthusiastic and weren't very clear about stating and convincing your goals to the loco team. Taking a parallel case, Pratul wished to start a forum for the loco team which even I initially opposed until he was clear in his stance and more members felt he might be right too. And all he did was under the Ubuntu-Inida loco team banner, after proper prior discussion and knowing the opinion from the team. Thus he ended up getting favored to start and take care of the forum. IMHO, this is a more favorable and matured way to start new things within the team and I really congratulate him for that. Now go back and look at the mailing list archives on all the mails from us around your mails to the list. There was always a confusion within the members on why and what are you trying to do. In addition, so far we have been, to the best of our knowledge, polite enough in replying to you despite the fact a lot of us were indeed a bit frustrated on things happening. I agree to the fact that you gave good enough karma points than me or many of the team members who had replied you. But that doesn't make any difference in the community sense where every one is given equal respect. We have no obligation in you taking the leadership cap or any similar things, but we just asked you to show some maturity required to lead a team like Ubuntu India Loco Team. But your way of handling this issue has only given us the impression of you to be yet-to-mature-kid (in no sense of disrespect), due to which we have to think more on accepting your ideas. We have been too in the community for the past 5-6 years minimum, not just Ubuntu but a lot of other communities too. We too have crossed things from being a newbie in good-old-days to our present situation of handling responsibilities in the community. Even now, we whole heartedly want to help you out and make you achieve your actual genuine goals in the FOSS world. It's now up to you to decide whether you are going to sit across the table and hear|learn things, or going to fire your canons on your own feet :) Good Luck! :) - -- With Regards, Parthan aka Technofreak [web] <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://technofreak.in">http://technofreak.in</a> [blog] blog.technofreak.in [photos] photos.technofreak.in [irc] teKnofreak @ irc.freenode.net (#linux-india) [mobile] BLR +919845446647 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://enigmail.mozdev.org">http://enigmail.mozdev.org</a> iD8DBQFHJteKk4vYYS/wECYRAvl0AJ4iamcSK98S7BI0iU5103a3nDNXFgCeJyLu kM1nEuVTRNeA6+ChE2fE76o= =SqmY -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- </body> </html>
