No, not at all. Ubuntu is a *community* project. People with
'@ubuntu.com' are formal members of the Ubuntu Community -- they
have being quizzed about their contributions, and the Ubuntu
Community (via one of the regional councils, or via the governance
councils) has approved them as Ubuntu Community members. By the way,
this is a public process (see [1] for more details), and the logs
are also publicly available.

It also happens that one critical piece of being a member is
accepting, and abiding by, the CoC.

People with '@canonical.com' are Canonical employees. They may, or
may not, be Ubuntu Community members [2].

So, when you see a '@ubuntu.com' address, the expressions and ideas
there are from an Ubuntu *member*. Not from Canonical. At all.

It would be better to understand how we work as a group, and _then_
take your decision.

Cheers,

[2] I know of many that started as Ubuntu members, and they got
hired/contracted by Canonical, and I know many Canonical people that
are not (or were not approved as) Ubuntu members.
