Hello, Oliver.

I am sorry - I did not mean to criticise you personally - I was 
criticising the means of dissemination of the information.

I believe that you are very helpful to us - I think "the powers that be" 
could be more helpful in their choice of dissemination of information, 
to help keep us informed, by using the mailing lists, which have 
universal access.

It goes to the issue of the nature of Linux and the published nature and 
meaning of Ubuntu -

"Ubuntu is an ancient African word meaning ‘humanity to others’. It is 
often described as reminding us that ‘I am what I am because of who we 
all are’. We bring the spirit of Ubuntu to the world of computers and 
software. The Ubuntu distribution represents the best of what the 
world’s software community has shared with the world. "

and

"The mission for Ubuntu is both social and economic. First, we deliver 
the worlds free software, freely, to everybody on the same terms."

Both the text citations are from https://ubuntu.com/about .

So, the information of what is happening, especially with updates and 
problems with updates, should be disseminated to all, freely and 
equally, through the mailing lists, rather than concealed in closed 
rooms like the discord obstruction.

The hiding of the information in the discord closed room, rather than 
disseminating the information freely on the mailing lists, is not 
consistent with the published statements of the nature and objective of 
Ubuntu Linux.
