As a Ubuntu Member and Contributor I have to say that it saddens me to see so a "heated discussion" in the bug tracker and I personally feel that Community engagement is better here than any other distro or FOSS project. I understand some people are up in arms about Unity and usability issues and that there are some who have chosen to leave the community over the introduction of Unity.
I personally am a Gnome2.32 fan and love simplistic panels and I swore for many months I would never use Unity as a full time desktop and even considered moving to Xubuntu but in the end I noticed that a lot of people I respect (Hardcore Devs) were making the plunge with little or no complaint and I gave Unity a spin and now it is what I use by default. I'm still concerned that Unity is not nearly as customize-able as Gnome2.32 but it is a young product and needs nurturing and growth before we can expect it to be as flexible as other Desktop Environments. In closing I think there can be much done to optimize the Ubuntu development process and perhaps even our community as a whole after all that's what we call progress and sometimes progress takes time. -- 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 [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
