attitude that Canonical's "Community Council" has towards its users. I
cannot help wondering for how long it was mooted by the "Council" to
shutdown Sounder?
please check the facts [1], only two members in a council of 8 are
actually related to canonical. the council gets elected by the
community, consists mostly of community members and has absolutely
nothing to do with canonical.


".....and on at least two occasions on the past 2 years...".

And all this time people were made to believe that their interests were
being looked after and promoted by Canonical's "Community Council" when
'they' were plotting all the time to shutdown this venue.
people were also asked to participate in the council meetings about the
issues with sounder... iirc only noop and amendee showed up at the
meeting where sounder shutdown was actually discussed, even though there
was a notification mail to this list back then.

the council is *your* governance instance where you as a community
member can bring up issues and have them decided, if you dont show
interest in their doings by showing up at the meetings and bringing up
your cause, where do you take the right to complain about "their"
decisions ?

if you check the launchpad page even closer you might notice that many
of the council members will expire in october ... elections are upcoming
and i guess some will not be up for re-election, so you are free to
become a council member and prevent/change the decisions you dont
like...

ciao

This lack of movement and voice from the members of the Council might represent the stance the Council has taken - by denying their being *there*, the Council members can detach themselves from what is going on and it looks to me as if they are afraid: now that the reality of what has been prophesied long ago has become evident, they refuse to acknowledge it, because they fear the consequences or are maybe afraid of not being equal to the challenge they are at long last facing. ...
