I do not need someone to tell me how to move forward or where to, although other may want that for themselves. It is useful if minds and motives and directions are alike. A leader is hardly going to change that. The meeting was arranged, and took place without an elected leader. People attended because they wanted to, not because someone told them to. Someone had to arrange it, that is not necessarily a job of a leader. It is the job of whoever is good at doing the organising and communicating about it. If this group has a number of active participants, then they form a de facto 'steering' or if you like 'leadership' group. This has its own leadership, and it is the sort that is self powering. Is an elected leader going to ask (you) to stop doing something you are keen to do? Are they going to urge you to do more of something you are already keen to do? Exactly how would an elected leader operate, and for what benefit? I have doubts about the real value of an elected leader in such a group as this. However I have no doubts at all about the value of leadership itself, and leadership activities. When these appear, and I like them, I will react positively, election or not. -- alan cocks Kubuntu user#10391 Linux user #360648 -- ubuntu-marketing mailing list ubuntu-marketing@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-marketing
