@Allison Great news!
I think most of us are confident that this bug will be solved, it's just that we're worried about the loss of momentum in the interim. Mark and others keep talking about the future, but I see no reason why some of the damage can't be addressed right now. Let's ensure that 12.04 will be greeted with hope rather than suspicion. I would just add a touch of realism to your plea: the community *does* bite, always has and always will. It is by definition diverse in needs, wants, sensitivity and levels of civility (some of which is related to the especially multicultural composition of the Ubuntu community). Unity designers entering the fray, especially right now, are guaranteed to get some unpleasantness flung their way. I would say that the best advice for those wanting to engage the community is: develop a thick skin. Being offended is a choice: so choose that you will not get offended by any harsh words. Look behind the words towards the pattern of use they represent. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/882274 Title: Community engagement is broken To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/882274/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
