| ## We shall never surrender and even if, which I do not for the moment believe, this group or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then people that believe in a volunteer groups *right* to choose it's future, will carry on the struggle until *California* with all its power and might, sets forth to the liberation and rescue of personal liberties. | '''I believe in the power of FOSS''' |

| Never give in. Never give in. Never, never, never, never--in nothing, great or small, large or petty--never give in, except to convictions of honor and good sense. Never yield to force. Never yield to the apparently overwhelming might. | |

| ## The short version is- '''My local involvement in Ubuntu = logging''' ##I work part time- I have plenty of time to spend on this issue. I have postponed my Ubuntu bonus projects for the time being. Im in this for the long haul. This debate may take a long time. I spent the last 2+ years to help change the Team I love. Yes love. I felt passionately about what I advocated. This issue unlike my actions before is righteous and with moral cause to a fundamental level. Personal liberties are foremost, whether a person or a group. If you cant determine your future, you dont have much left. ## Logging is a moral offense to me. If the Team votes for it- that is totally fine- I can shut up then- and this is ALL moot. ## It offends my sensibilities. It is against my core belief of one group telling another what to do. |

## * I have failed miserably at trying to help Oregon's Ubuntu happenin'. I am not their enough to do so. Maybe it is because I am better suited for doing things in person. (I'm not really good at IRC, I know that.) My strengths involve face to face interaction is my nearest guest. ## I have a talk ( scheduled for more than a year) at a great local LUG. The original subject was Ubuntu; an overview of 10.10 and the path for the future. It will only stay that way if the group is *respected* and given a voice on logging. I really, really, really, wish I did not feel this strongly. I do though. To my core. You don't have to agree with me. this goes to my core beliefs. |
