If you don't want to debate it then don't mail. Please don't mail and expect me not to reply though. > I think it must have occured to you that some people who had > 'volunteered' to help create a podcast may be a little surprised to > find that it suddenly arrived out of the blue. > Surprised yes. That was the general idea. Everyone should be surprised given there were 5 people involved in the creation, a few interviewees, and about a half dozen people who have been asked to be interviewed, I'd say it's fair for the rest of the planet to categorise themselves as "surprised". > Unfortunately ubuntu-uk is an informal group and people can't make > overriding 'executive' decisions to "deliberately keep people out of > the loop" (as Al suggests) of community based projects. I don't believe we do need to consult everyone about everything. We'll have to disagree on that point and move on. I'd like to re-iterate that we welcome contrbutions and comments. They help us to build a better podcast. > What we do as > ubuntu-uk we should always try to do with a common consensus. In my opinion we had a common consensus "Ubuntu-UK should make a podcast". That fact that _nobody_ actually got off their arses to do it speaks volumes. We however, did. > We can't > decide not to involve people because we mightn't like their > suggestions. > You're making an assumption about the reason why we didn't get people involved early on. It wasn't because we might not like their suggestions. As I explained, we wanted to get something created. Now the infrastructure is there, we _welcome_ contributions from _everyone_. > That's my whinge over with.

I'll give you a quid for every one you find. Good luck. Cheers, Al. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
