Thorsten, thank you for writing this e-mail - it shows me that you are a good team member even while leaving. If one poisonous person is derailing the productivity of this entire group, and I think it's a fair assessment, then that is precisely the sort of problem that Jono and others will want to help resolve. Don't be discouraged - Canonical staff and Ubuntu's many leaders regularly put time aside to deal with community issues and I have confidence that they will be able to help you. I have been consistently impressed by the quality of work posted to this list, to the extent that I've been intimidated to ever put much effort into any contributions of my own, as I have never studied or practiced art and my skill and self-confidence are both lacking. However, it's been a joy watching collaboration unfold here and I want you all to know that I really appreciate what you do and still hope that I will be able to make contributions to this team. So although most of you probably don't recognize me and I don't really have much stake in what goes on here, I want to offer to do what I can to salvage this team and clear the way for future successes. Thanks, Ryan -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
