  4. So no one here is hearing the alarm bells. Let's see... do the math... Julian didn't even complete a year of durating at Canonical. Formally trained with a vision.

    I had the highest hopes with Julian - he seemed like the 'real deal' and I am still convinced that he is. His resignation / departure / etc. should be speaking loud and clear.

    Unfortunately everyone is apparently missing it.
