[22:44] <Guest10813> bkerensa: If you have not seen it yet, there is a response regarding the "Community" link on the ubuntu.com website here: http://design.canonical.com/2013/05/ubuntu-com-update/
[22:50] <MarkDude> That helps a bit
[23:05] <bkerensa> Hi Guest10813 I just saw this on the way back to my office
[23:06] <Guest10813> bkerensa: I'm actually shirgall, I got fubar'ed by the last netsplt
[23:06] <bkerensa> Ah
[23:06] <bkerensa> was wondering
[23:07] <bkerensa> Guest10813: So the problem that led to the blog post was in fact someone from QA said they were not going to re-add it to the top
[23:07] <bkerensa> there was some flip flop occuring
[23:07] <Guest10813> bkerensa: yeah
[23:07] <bkerensa> mind you they could have done this all seamlessly and just changed the hyperlink
[23:07] <bkerensa> they have not provided a valid justification as to why that did not occur
[23:08] <bkerensa> Jono tried to say the site was not "hacky"
[23:08] <Guest10813> bkerensa: I understand the frustration
[23:08] <bkerensa> I call BS :) I do web dev
[23:08] <bkerensa> Guest10813: either way its good to see its coming back
[23:08] <bkerensa> the big concern for me is there was a immediate dive of 33% traffic loss
[23:09] <bkerensa> and any new contributors help keep things moving forward
[23:09] <Guest10813> bkerensa: well, I'm glad there was a response, although it was not as timely as I had hoped
[23:10] <MarkDude> Well, bs for sure , but, that post *matches my second* solution on my BP
[23:10] <MarkDude> Keep link in footer, and promote Community with shiny part
[23:11] <MarkDude> Even those screenshots have a *community style story* to follow as link
[23:11] <MarkDude> Im sure the metric will be tweaked to be *slightly higher than 1/3
[23:11] <MarkDude> or more
[23:12]  * MarkDude considers his BP closed, and will follow directions/advice on bkerensa 's BP
[23:13]  * Guest10813 isn't calling it solved, was just pointing out that there's new information
[23:16] <MarkDude> Well yes
[23:16] <MarkDude> I had minimals in my BP, on purpose
[23:16] <MarkDude> Just in case of funny stuff
[23:17] <MarkDude> Deeper issue here, trust me- I was just interviewed about all of this- it will be published tomoroow early
[23:17]  * MarkDude is still willing to do my thing. Jono and MArk know I am gonna grandstand a bit
[23:18] <MarkDude> Nicely
[23:18]  * MarkDude can do his own thing as far as ideas, or even better be a Team player, and follow directions and orders
[23:19]  * MarkDude wants to be a Team player, and only help where needed or asked
[23:19] <bkerensa> MarkDude: Someone from Linux Pro Magazine e-mailed me.... Did you send him my way?
[23:20] <MarkDude> Nope
[23:20] <bkerensa> I guess he writes for Linux Pro, LJ and Datamation
[23:20] <MarkDude> He already knew a bit about you
[23:20] <MarkDude> I sent him to only one person
[23:21] <MarkDude> He knew some background stuff. He is fair writer. Journalist
[23:21] <MarkDude> fair meaning fair to people- not quality :D
[23:21] <MarkDude> He's not doing a hitpiece
[23:22] <MarkDude> I dont think he will break any NDAs, he has a good rep
[23:22] <MarkDude> His line of questioning was fair, and he was not looking for dirty laundry
[23:22] <MarkDude> He *did* ask about videos
[23:23] <MarkDude> He was surprised at the timeline- as far as how many Community efforts were made
[23:24]  * MarkDude explained the delay in time on reaction  to removal of link as disbelief 
[23:24] <MarkDude> :)
[23:24] <MarkDude> Should make for a good read
