To be honest, the exact details of how we present the iso download on
our front page doesn't greatly effect developers. elementary is and
always has been open source; by its very nature that means its freely
available to all. Design decisions and decisions on how to bring money
in to pay for our expenses don't and should not have to be run by
every developer. This is the reason for having a small Council who can
make those decisions.
> Is that the intended decision-making process or a mistake from which

Again, there's a reason we have a small Council who is able to make
organizational, design, and monetary decisions. It is not intended to
run every single decision past ?????? ??????? before making it.
Obviously we're always open to learning; if the home page design
doesn't work out, of course we'll consider alternatives.
If you or anyone else has any further specific issues you'd like to
raise, the Council is reachable at council@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
<mailto:council@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>. Give a little bit of time for a
response if you do mail us there; as Daniel mentioned, we're busy both
with and outside of elementary. But we do try and respond to any mails
at one point or another.

Cassidy James

As it turns out, we have families and lives and jobs and
responsibilities outside of elementary. That means that we're not
always able to meet every week and discuss every issue.
In my personal opinion, this is a web design issue and not
something that needs to be run through you first for approval. But
I'd be interested to find out from other people why they think we
need to directly democratize our web design or any design for that
matter.
If you're upset because you can't get your demands met on a
certain time schedule I'm afraid there's nothing I can do for
you. You may not be aware, but this week celebrates our
independence in the US. So there's a lot of family flooding in and
I'm super busy juggling my very extended family. I can guarantee I
won't be able to make the meeting again this Saturday because it's
also my mother's birthday.
I wish you luck in your next endeavor and hope you don't harbor
any ill will towards elementary. You're always welcome back at any
time.

Okay, it's been a week. In addition, a Council meeting should have
taken place three days ago. This seems to be quite enough time to
settle on something and write a reply.
To speed up the discussion, I stop pretending that everything
is all
right and cease any work on elementary till I receive an
answer to my
question.
