Alan, You, I guess, are what we in the "colonies" like to call a lone wolf. You are, and this is not a criticism but merely a statement of fact, not a team player, and that is fine. But no one person can do everything that a marketing campaign on the scale that Ubuntu needs to be marketed can do. That requires a team for reasons I have already laid out so I won't repeat myself. o change that. > > The meeting was arranged, and took place without an elected leader. > People attended because they wanted to, not because someone told them > to.

Yes, no one was elected, but without Onno's leadership at the meeting, we would not have gotten anything done. I do agree we do not necessarily need elected leaders. But if the leadership is self-selected, as cream rising to the top - which I feel it did at the meeting - that leadership has to publicly accept that responsibility, which is what should have happened at the meeting, but did not. Had that happened - had we all agreed to serve as the core marketing group - - "until we get killed or the team finds someone better" to paraphrase one of my favorite movie lines, we'd not be having this discussion. Instead we'd be discussing concrete actionable projects that need to be done to help people like you and the LoCos do a better job of marketing Ubuntu0 - -- Peace!
