Feedback Welcome

by | Fri 7 Oct 2011

Recently some concerns were raised to me in a Community Council meeting about some areas of the community, and how much influence and motivation some of our community members feel they have on Ubuntu.

I am determined to identify some solutions for these challenges. Our community should be fun, inspiring, and productive.

I want to start out by learning more about our community’s perspectives, so I issued a survey to all Ubuntu Members to gather some more input and find patterns in areas of success and concern. You folks should have an email about this in your INBOX with a link to the survey. I appreciate if you could take a few minutes to share your thoughts.

I am also interested in soliciting general feedback too from across the community, and I would like to invite those of you who have views or insight into some of these community challenges to send me an email to *jono –AT– ubuntu –DOT– com*. All correspondence will be private and I would like to encourage you to be as frank as possible.

Thanks, everyone.
