Paul, I'm sorry that this has caused you some inconvenience, as we do
try to provide the best site and service to the Ubuntu community that we
can.  And while we all wish that it was possible to fulfill every need
or desire, we are all still human, and we must sleep sometime.

It's a credit to Ubuntu's 6 month cycle that we have become accustomed
to fast results.  However, we have many bugs that are even older than
that.  As a general rule, we try to tackle those bugs and requests that
will provide the greatest service to the most people, at the smallest
effort.

Some wishlist bugs have only a single person requesting them.  Others
have multiple people and teams requesting them.  Some have well thought
out reasons why they should be implemented, others are just things
someone thought up one minute and filed a bug for, that often don't make
sense we it comes to actually implementing.  Again, we try to do what
will provide the most benefit with the limited amount of volunteer time
that we have.

You can rest assure that we don't treat members of the loco-council any
differently that other members of the community, nobody gets special
treatment based on membership to a specific Launchpad team.  If your
request makes sense, can be reasonably implemented, and will benefit the
wider community, then it'll be higher on our list, regardless of who you
are.

Every time we talk to the community about LoCo Directory development, we
include the fact that we are always looking for more contributors, and
you are included in that invitation.  But unless you can provide us with
a working implementation, or add a 25th hour to our days, we ask that
you be patient as we do what we can for the community, and always
remember that we are volunteers.

> Can *someone* spare a few minutes to fix this bug?

If your specific request would only take a few minutes, rest assured it
would have been implemented by now.  However I recall having previous
conversations about this request, and I have not seen any compelling
reason why it is needed.  Indeed, I believed that implementing the
Meetings feature had provided for both your specific need, as well as a
more general sure that would benefit the wider community.  If for some
reason neither Events nor Meetings fills your need, then please feel
free to go into more detail about how they fall short, and how you think
a solution can be made.
