I strongly feel that aligning Ubuntu Studio so closely with Ubuntu has and will continue to hamper Ubuntu Studio community growth. >From well meaning, but misguided advice givers to not knowing which forum in which to post, the forums have given people a bad taste for Ubuntu Studio and even intimidated people. An open and dedicated forum for Ubuntu Studio would clearly invite and encourage people to participate in pertinent discussions. Build a better community through communication. Does a website that we cannot control show our self-expression and encourage attention? Hosting and managing a dedciated website for Ubuntu Studio affords us the latitude to include social media, host community artwork and music, provide Ubuntu Studio blog aggragates (Ubuntu Studio Planet) and even RSS feeds to existing aggregates. Build a better community by fostering a sense of belonging. I could write more, but I don't have to. I think most people, especially creative people, can see this could be the gestation for something great. Something that benefits us all. And the awesome thing about it is that WE can make it what we want. Every complaint that has come before can be turned into a powerful and positive suggestion. This is creative empowerment. It's up to us to define it, create it and use it. Scott L
