I just recently joined the UY, but it seems I joined at the wrong
time. >From what I have gathered from my infrequent trips to the IRC I
joined right around the same time as a change in leadership that
wasn't going too smoothly. Forgive me if that's not entirely accurate
as my joining the IRC has become more and more spread out due to lack
of activity.
Now, I don't know how the UY was organized before but what I was
hoping for when I joined was a youth-lead club that lead up to joining
the actual Ubuntu Team. We could take on small projects, and members
would be encouraged to contribute to Ubuntu through their strengths
with possibly a little more support and guidance. Members of the UY
could be challenged by both the UY leadership and other members to do
what they thought they could, and then a little more, learning all the
way. We would slowly become full Ubuntu contributers, but with
slightly less comitment and expectations towards quality and an
emphasis on learning and growing as developers, computer artists,
debuggers, and Ubuntu members.
What I'm trying to say is that the Ubunu Youth shouldn't just be a
place to hang out and chat with young *untu users (all though there's
nothing wrong with that), but the Ubuntu Youth could and SHOULD be a
place to grow and train the next generation of *untu developers.
If I were to see these kinds of changes, I would be proud to say that
I were a member of the UY. However, as it curently stands, it just
looks like another off-topic chatroom.
I mean all my opinions humbly and respectfully, but I do ask that take
these things into consideration for the future success of the Ubuntu
Youth.
