I have been reading this thread since it was started, and I've been thinking about the question (what has ari-tczew done to deserve this?) and how and why can somebody be excluded for two years from the Ubuntu community? My question of whether this is fair or not has disappeared when the person in question has responded to the mail (announcing his exclusion) thanking everything to everybody (I'm respecting him for this). That mail was also the best proof for me that this exclusion was not just the wish of some people who have the right to do it, but a consequence of something the excluded also knows about and most probably regrets it, as he didn't argue on that matter, and didn't veto that decision. I do not know who is in the Community Council and who is in the Developer Membership board, but I totally agree that this is issue had to be handled as private as it was possible, because it is a privacy issue. I'm sure that no one would like to have a public discussion enumerating his mistakes and whether these deserve "punishment" (like exclusion) or not.
So my conclusion is that the transparency of the Ubuntu community in similar issues should remain as it is now. Just my two cents regarding this thread, only a personal opinion. Regards, Robert PS: I respect the Ubuntu community even more since this issue has been handled for * taking the hard decision (excluding a regular contributor) * showing that the rules (there aren't many of them, the Code of Conduct is a short text) have to be taken seriously, and failing multiple times to respect them does have consequences * a community member admits that he has made some mistakes, and "faces the music"/"holds the sack"/accepts the consequences
