At various times we use the word "Ubuntu" to mean:

- The Ubuntu CDs: distinct from the Kubuntu CDs, Xubuntu CDs, etc.

- The Ubuntu project: governed by the TB & CC, including Kubuntu,
Xubuntu, etc.

- The Ubuntu ecosystem: upstreams, downstreams, projects, and companies
developing for, contributing to, and participating in Ubuntu.

There's a bit of semantic fuzz here, Partner isn't part of the first
two, but is part of the third. Debian is part of the first and the
third, but not part of the second.


In systems of governance, policies are meant to serve the people, not
people to serve the policies. Occasionally, the people review the
policies to ask "What did we mean?" and "How does this apply to X or Y
new situation?", in the context of "How does this fit with our overall
goals?" As an example, what about a remix that pulled in a few packages
from Debian experimental, which didn't exist in the Ubuntu project
archives? Similar but different, in a way that provides additional insight.

Just food for thought, until the TB meeting next week. It's nice to have
the Code of Conduct, and two groups of sage elders in the TB and CC, to
provide a clear and healthy path to talk through different perspectives.
