No I disagree, it just seem that the status quot just isn't prepared to listen to any suggestions to actually make any headway. So since the LoCo loosing it's official status there hasn't been any progress for it to even be considered. Sadly it's my opinion that it should just be left as a dead resource until the peeps who believe they know better than all look back an see why they have no LoCo, I mean OK I was keen to get the meetings going initially, and I got some heavy resistance when I dare suggest that a meeting be called on a Friday night (with relatively short notice) and to the fact that I approached the Ubuntu-LoCo Council to share my thoughts on the situation at that time, to be essentially be branded a traitor for doing so. Sadly for me the Ubuntu Australian Loco is truly (to my mind) dead and not worth the effort to bother to reinstate. I've also (mostly) discontinued using Ubuntu in favour to Debian, so my efforts are being focused their where there isn't the politics involved and I'm free to contribute without the need to be approved by the Elite Club of Membership! I'm not intending to flame anyone here these are just my opinions on the matter, everyone is allowed to share their thoughts just as I have... -- Scott Evans <sc...@vk7hse.hobby-site.org>
