I must admit, I find this accusation in poor taste. John was told by many folks on this list that his marketing articles belong to the personal home pages and not on the team page. I changed the pages category to "homepages" for a lot of personal pages, not just his, as i explained in an earlier mail[0], where I also explained the contents were not edited but it seems it is being blown out of proportion for unknown reasons. [0] https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-marketing/2008-May/003030.html Feel free to take it to the CC, just let me know the date and time and I'll see if I can make it, else treat this as an explanation. I wanted to clear this before leaving and fwiw, I have been on this list since 2005 and just maybe it may have lacked direction but it was never short of ideas and people willing to work on it. As countless folks have mentioned, if one wants to make a difference and do something they will, irrespective of whether they are appointed the leader or are a part of the core team or not. I know I did [0] and continued talking to the local distributors when nobody from Canonical got in touch with me to take it further [I also understand that they would have other priorities, which is fine, no issues :)]. [0] https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-marketing/2008-April/002830.html Earlier, I didnt support the idea that this team be dissolved and marketing handed to the loco's but the recent list going-ons has been more talk and trolling of a high order imho and I hoped the list-admin would put an end to it but it didnt happen. Anyway my personal obligations come before volunteering and off-late I came to realise that my time is better spent elsewhere. Tord, sorry I only completed half the translation document but I am sure others here will be able to help you out. I take this opportunity to wish all of you and this team the very best for the future and ... ...thanks for all the fish!
