There are no restrictions. I never used Qt/KDE apps myself much, but I talked to a number of Qt/KDE people and sponsored quite a number of uploads in the last 5.5 years. It never mattered much to me, which part of somebody of Ubuntu somebody they worked in as long as they wanted to improve Ubuntu and did a good job. That I might know a bit more about some part of Ubuntu than another didn't stop me from doing that. > This discussion shows exactly why people are turned off.

I don't think that general statements like that are helpful when trying to improve the situation, nor do I personally think that it reflects what's happening. While each perception forms a bit of reality, I feel it's more important to start having a conversation about what we can actually directly improve. We're a bunch of very clever and creative people, so I'm quite certain we can come up with something. I think it's helpful to distinguish between the following different cases: - a process that could be improved to be more inviting or straight-forward to people from various groups - best-practices that are modified to accommodate certain cases better - help facilitate a discussion between two guys who might have misunderstood each other and who want to straighten things out - <your idea here> In any case it's helpful to always stay specific. Big and broad rhetoric immediately takes away all opportunities to take something specific and make it better.
