My comments were not intended to encourage (nor did they in fact encourage) the idea that you need to overplan a meeting or vote on anything. I definitely think the team should have a meeting. But, I'm simply encouraging the team to focus at the meeting on discussing how to define your projects better, and how to get things done. I'm not intending to contribute directly in the Ubuntu Marketing Team. I'm simply, as an observer and Community Council member, trying to help with a possible way of moving forward. The reason I intervened was that I felt that there was too much talk about the need for leaders, and not enough talk about the need to develop focused projects for the team to work on. I've seen Paolo and others succeed with this in the Italian Marketing Team, in very similar circumstances to those which are currently challenging this team, and I believe that it can work for this team too. I think the point has been taken so I wish the team good luck with the meeting and going forward. I'm happy, and I'm sure the whole Community Council is too, to review the team's organization and planning whenever appropriate, and to give advice. That's what we are here for, to ensure that different areas of the community can develop in a healthy and successful way, and I'm personally pleased to see the marketing team giving it another crack. -- Matthew East http://www.mdke.org gnupg pub 1024D/0E6B06FF -- ubuntu-marketing mailing list ubuntu-marketing@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-marketing
