It usually takes some time for us (the CC) to digest an issue. Most of the times, barging in without a clear understanding of the issues ends up worse... We were made aware of it by you, and we do thank you for that. Your current email is a marvelous step in the right direction (conflict resolution). We, the CC, will happily help with anything we can do. But this is the preferred way for conflicts to be addressed. This means, as far as I can personally see, that we are already on a path to recovery. I do hope the other party will be willing to reconsider his position, or at least be willing to talk with us. > Hopefully, from here we will be able to move forward to release yet > another great version of Ubuntu Studio in happy collaboration, without > leaving any mess under the rugg... It would be nice for someone to contact the other party, as well. Cheers, ..C..
