General Agenda Items and Proposals:

• UbuntuForumDiscussion -- moved to separate page (smurf)

Edit conflict - your version:

• There is still a dispute between a few members of the Ubuntu community about the Automatix project and a derivative of it. The following links are references to parts of the discussion.
  • Note: "Forum Staff" on the forums are not admins, even though the title suggests it.
  • The forum admins say project subforums are run by the leader of the project. I guess this means if they request something be done within their sub-forum they get it, no matter what.

  • http://apqi.com/ubuntu/Automatix%20(Automated%20GUI%20installation%20script)%20-%20Page%2024%20-%20Ubuntu%20Forums.htm (thread with some non-deleted posts)

Edit conflict - other version:

• I was told by Ubuntu Geek that he will ban me from the forums if I continue to discuss the topics ongoing in the Site DiscussionForum: http://apqi.com/ubuntu/Ubuntu%20Forums%20-%20Re%20please%20read-1.htm and http://apqi.com/ubuntu/Ubuntu%20Forums%20-%20Re%20please%20read.htm (Personal Messages - Andrew (azz) Zajac)

• Additionally members who side with Amaranth, robotgeek, and the GPL are now being banned (I've been banned [Seth])
• Kyral has been banned from #ubuntuforums for the same reason

• Before banning Kyral, the forum staff member [http://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?u=26 FLeiXiuS] said: [17:45] <FLeiXiuS> Were not under the CoC, nor do we give a shit about the CC in here..

• The user agger had a good suggestion: all forum moderators should be Ubunteros (have signed the Code of Conduct). Perhaps in addition, all administrators should be full Ubuntu Members?

• The future of the Ubuntu Forums, the increasing misunderstandings between the CC and the forum staff should be resolved.

  • Certain forum staff members seem to have differing opinions about what the spirit of Ubuntu is: (please see [http://sethkinast.com/ubuntu/ubuntuforums.txt these log excerpts]) *Bit removed for hindsight of causing more inflammatory comment than nessecary*

End of edit conflict
