I don't think you are overreacting, personally. 

I can tell you that those of us who are moderators on the Ubuntu Forums are not 
very happy about this. Some have expressed the opinion that it is possible that 
the Community is being deliberately marginalized. I don't know about that. 

The Oregon LoCo IRC channel should be lit up tonight. I'll try to swing by, 
since I have never had the opportunity to actually make it to a physical 
meeting. I can carry some of your concerns back to the UF Admins, who might be 
able to talk to other leaders in other areas of the Community. The whole 
Community needs to speak with one voice to avoid being overlooked. 

Hard to say if they'll listen ...

Subject: [Ubuntu Oregon] Community removal; am I over-reacting here? Where is 
the discussion? 




Canonical decided to remove COMMUNITY from the Header of the Ubuntu.com site. 
It's in small gray letters at the footer, the place people usually NEVER look. 

Discussion has been proposed, I assumed it would happen.Bug #1172422 was filed 
to attempt to address this slight of the Community. In mere hours it was made 
so it can't be re-opened. It's the all too familiar wontfix . Meaning it's 
done. Over. 


By no means am I giving fair full coverage of this event. I am giving my 
perspective (as well as attempting brevity) 
My Google+ post on the matter

ALL Hail Tux the Penguin! 

Is it worth valuable time to discuss an issue that has been marked *wontfix*? 
The starting point makes it a foregone conclusion. Is this ALL MOOT?
