@Vish I've read up on most of the mailing list stuff. But they never actually state that the wallpaper will change.
The sort of clear communication people are begging here for, is still not there. Nor is there any debate or talk about the actual arguments of the wallpaper. They mostly are discussing just how offended they are that people don't like it. And how it's OMGUbuntu's fault or something, for not properly censoring comments that contain criticism of the design. The wallpaper is important, but the reaction on the mailing list is kind of shocking. I've worked with a lot of designers, and i've never seen this kind of attitude. Are these people being paid by Canonical to worry about their ego's all day? Do they realize, that Canonical, the company they are working for, is trying to make money of Ubuntu and that the popularity and satisfaction of its' customers matters? They use the word community to exclude people rather than to include people. It's like the inner circle of Gentoo, Debian or some other 'we are the elite and you are not welcome' crowd. It seems Ubuntu has much bigger problems than just the wallpaper. You seem to be very neutral and carry the sort of professional and constructive attitude you would expect from a payed Canonical employee, like a light in the darkness, on that mailing list. You are not even taking sides, just trying to get them to have a constructive conversation. Is there are any way we can help to resolve this? I understand everybody just 'shutting up about the wallpaper' would make it seem the problem would go away, but that would just encourage and reinforce this kind of behavior. As to Ubuntu One, for example, it's kind of hard to accept we would indirectly pay these people to address the larger community like this. Wasn't the point of not using the volunteer community for design work, but actual paid professionals to prevent exactly _this_ kind of behavior? -- Official 10.10 wallpaper is unappealing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/625193 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
