Ruben is not around as much as users would like. I would like to get bazaar

I'm generally agree. Not everything t3g says is without merit although I take
it with a grain of salt. I'd probably be more open to his thoughts if he
contributed something other than criticisms. He seems more intent on
derailing the project.
Here are my two main reasons:
1. Ruben is already VERY hard to get in contact with and we rarely get news
and updates from him or interaction on the forums or IRC chat. If we give him
more money, don't we expect more interaction from him with us and would that
change? Will he continue to

Yes, it would be nice if Ruben would be more active around this community but
that shouldn't affect users decision to donate.

Unfortunately your right. There are a lot of people using Trisquel who do not
put much value in their freedom. It's why I wouldn't suggest forcing payment
on users. I wouldn't object to making us all having to work a bit harder for
it though. A 30-60 second delay on the download page maybe
There were dozens of forks prior to its shutdown.
Now they have a chance to flourish.
I still think that Ubuntu and/or Trisquel should integrate it into their
system. Trisquel would benefit the most by adapting the apps feature and
showing free software only. Could help promote software and users could
easily install free software in the

If there were 100 members then each would have to donate at least $50 a
month. That isn't going to happen.
And this shows the beauty of Free Software
Makes you wonder if he made the original announcement for free marketing or
is just starving for attention. It is good that he has returned, because it
is a great project. I've even submitted bug reports and feature requests to
him that were later integrated.
Welcome back old friend.
If he did he's better at public relations than any other free software
project I've ever encountered.
Look at the timing of my last post. I was in the process of writing it on a
cell phone during your processing of the post about a fork in progress. Chill
out bro.
Ubuntu Tweak is really useful - if I remember correctly (I haven't used it in
years) it makes removing old kernels and PPAs possible without using the
terminal so new users do not need to see multiple kernels whenever the update
includes a new kernel and they can easily purge PPAs that they

You are now trolling the thread because I replied and said that my post
proceeded his response about the fork, which I didn't know about. I'm fine
with the English language but I am getting the assumption here that neither
of us are listening to each other.
I'm also basing Banana's viewpoint on the comment he made in his first reply:
If it indeed dies, that would simply mean that people did not find Ubuntu
Tweaks that useful.
At the time of the original post, the news of him leaving was just announced.
Since then, there have been announcements of forks and I was made aware of
the next steps. Even with that in mind, you are still basing your argument on
my original post and it is a lazy effort on your part to

Even though it suggested non-free software in some parts, this was considered
a great application to tweak Ubuntu based systems. The developer was vague in
why he stopped, but he blamed free software not being free anymore.
This is sad... even if I only used this application 1 or 2 times I have to
admit that this is sad... but I'm pretty sure that he stopped developing
because of the lack of money for running the servers and the development
itself and/or because of the last Business Tactics by Canonical... they
Uhh, Netcraft confirms, but I want the dirt. Here is what the (ex)developer
said:
You may ask why I made this decision to stop the development of Ubuntu
Tweak, I may write 10,000 words to describe how I start this project, how I
feel happy from this project, how I feel bad from this
You said that the project is dead and said something about it being a failure
of free software. Just because the developer has stopped developing a program
doesn't mean it's dead unless it's nonfree. A free program can be picked up
by anyone at any time.
You know, kind of like
He also said that the app feature and its requests were averaging 10 GB a day
in bandwidth and he couldn't afford it. As for Banana's ignorant comment
about it not being developed anymore due to importance and use, that is far
from the truth.
I hope it does live on with the app feature
While there is a bit of truth to this there are many forks. My comment above
about t3g stands. This particular developer may have gone. The project is not
dead. Users will simply have to get another version.
As I said it has already been forked it seems. There are other versions
floating about. The software is under a license which does not require
permission to fork it. It's NOT dead. This is just more of your
misinformation.
