Hi,
In context of a couple of mails I sent earlier this week, including the one about GNOME contributions by a certain distro, I thought yesterday's blog post by Mark Shuttleworth is interesting. More interesting are the responses he gets:

This of course, was in response to GergDeK's(*) post:

Of course, having to defend oneself by words rather than work in meritocracy based FOSS is ...ahem ...sad. Read all the comments to get a fair idea.
I read the editor's note on Linux Today [0], and it is spot on.

I was always proud of the Ubuntu Community for being 'relentlessly positive' and the Mark's response has given me one more reason to be proud of it.
