I'm pretty sure the community communication channels and processes have not changed drastically since this "bug" has started to show its face. So there are only two possible explanations for the user dissatisfaction:
1. This "bug" has been here for a long time and it just hasn't been noticed until now. 2. Unity is piece of crap right now and is frustrating the heck out of everyday Ubuntu users who don't think they are being heard because their bugs and ideas are not being dealt with. I tend to believe #2, but if you do believe #1 you still probably agree that Unity is the factor that has awakened all this higher than normal user communication. So at the end of the day, it's not a community engagement issue because if Unity is "fixed" 95% of us would go back to our ignorant Ubuntu bliss. Ubuntu is having its Windows Vista moment right now, but I believe Unity is a solid foundation that just needs some work. I think two things need to be done. 1. Fix a bunch of bugs. Hopefully, this is the focus already since 12.04 is LTS. 2. Compromise on some configuration options for Unity. Ubuntu is a community of power users right now and giving us a few more options to tweak our experience would go a long way to make the community feel better. A place to vote on which options to include would be ideal. Perhaps at http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/unity/ I think if a compromise was reached to include the top community defined configuration options, the community would feel vindicated. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/882274 Title: Community engagement is broken To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/882274/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
