[Ubuntu Urdu] We are unaware of this new group on Launchpad relating itself to Ubuntu-Pk?

[Fouad Riaz Bajwa]

Dear Community Members, 

A group has appeared on the Ubuntu Launchpad Community at
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-poss titled "Ubuntu-POSS" or "POSS Ubuntu
Users" discussing an Ubuntu Derivative Distribution Activity being organized
at PIEAS Islamabad possibly. 

This group has also added Ubuntu-Pakistan Community (Ubuntu-Pk)
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-pk to its moderator list and I have received
moderation requests for names of some people that are also already member of
the Ubuntu-Pakistan Official Community, but very recent ones that have
hardly presented any activity through the official mailing lists nor have
participated in the Ubuntu Urdu Localization Project activity.

First of all, neither have I created this "Ubuntu-POSS" or "POSS Ubuntu
Users" project nor do have any knowledge about this activity nor have had
prior discussions with the members of this project through telephone or
email communication. I have also not received any prior email requests or
witnessed any discussion regarding such a user community or project on both
the Ubuntu Pakistan General nor the Ubuntu l10n Urdu Mailing Lists, Waqas
Toor, kindly point me out if I am wrong. 

I am not aware if all the rest of the community members are aware of this
group or its objectives as they have listed, as per the Community Code of
Conduct and the objectives of the Ubuntu Pakistan Official Team, we have no
prior agreement to creating a Ubuntu derivate distribution when the current
Ubuntu Distro is still under improvements and lacks full Urdu Localized
Capabilities. Secondly, the immediate objectives of the Ubuntu Pakistan Team
are localization of Ubuntu into Urdu through the Rosetta Translation System
at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/dapper/+lang/ur where nearly 970
localization and translation tasks are yet to be fully completed. 

My vote is that I am unaware of this community so will not be moderating it.
In my opinion it should be removed since there is only one Ubuntu Linux
Official User community, official mailing list
https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-pk  and this team is also a
partner of the Ubuntu International l10n Urdu Translation/Localization
Project https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-l10n-urd.

We look forward to hearing the views of all the other Team Leaders (Nouman
for Sindh and Balochistan, Waqas Toor for Capital, Rawalpindi/Isb and NWFP)
and all members of the Ubuntu Pakistan User Community (700+ in number). I
think these heroic or announcement parties should be done with some
practical results instead of violation the community code of conduct by not
taking approval of the members of the Ubuntu Pakistan Official Community
through 

1. Its mailing lists 

2. By informing Team Leads for their regions

3. First Complete Localized Urdu Ubuntu 

4. Then think about other areas

Your views.
