Ubuntu Advertising Jason’s Farewell Notice
Ladies and Gentlemen; We would like to inform you that Jason Odoom, this team’s founder, is no longer a member of the team for various reasons, including creative differences. For example, we do not feel he has the experience (being only 15 years old) to lead an advertising team representing what is, in effect, a multi-billion dollar engineering project (ie: the Linux and Ubuntu ecosystems). We are not prejudiced against any members of the team, but we ask that each member be aware of their own limitations; Jason was not aware of his and continued to participate in a manner unbefitting of someone who has signed the Code of Conduct. He was often regarded as rude by other members of the team--especially leadership--and some statements were said with scorn and hatred laced through them; he demoralized some members of the team and saw himself as a ‘leader’ and ‘technology expert’ when really, he was just a novice who mistook high ambition for skill. We must stress that whilst we agreed with Jason’s idea, we simply do not believe he had the experience, nor maturity, to take on all the trust and responsibility that this project requires. However, this does not mean we cannot fulfil his excellent vision of a professional-level advertising team. This team has great potential and many wonderful members who will be able to achieve more than was initially thought up. We will continue to operate as normal; our current leadership team is as strong as ever and we are excited to propel this project into 2011 with some great ideas. Look forward to increased communication and organization along with some solid plans in the coming months. As always, if you would have anything to discuss, you can do so on the mailing list or in our IRC channel (#ubuntu-adverts). Thank you for your understanding. Your team leaders, Dante Ashton (danteashton) Keimpe de Jong (UndiFineD) Cassidy James (cassidyjames)
