吃掉了很多东西的翻译：F-spot没法导入相机中的视频啊！我等了三年了，还是不行。找不到合适的替代品。只要相机里有视频，Gthumb就啥也不导入。DigiKam倒是很好，但太复杂了。kopi says:

Do you have a digital camera? Do you make short videos with it now and then?
F-spot can’t import videos from a camera. I’ve been waiting about 3 years now for this feature and it is still not there. Okay you say, why don’t you take another program to do the job (import fotos AND videos), for example gthumb. Well gthumb could do it, if it wasn’t for that nasty bug that has been around for about 3 YEARS in ubuntu. Gthumb doesn’t import anything if there are videos in your camera. Whats left? DigiKam – decent program, too complicated; good luck explaining that program to my mother.
How about you put your foot down for once?
Shuttleworth的回应：
大胆歪曲的翻译：好，我来解决这个问题。告诉我你自己写的补丁在哪里，我来找人审核。或者，给我看看你和上游开发者的谈话，我可以去插一脚。或者，告诉你购买的Ubuntu商业支持的账号信息，那我可以以商业的方式来处理这个问题。再不然，告诉我你为Ubuntu或开源做过什么贡献，作为对这些贡献的回报，我会尽力帮忙。最后，如果只是因为你心情不好，那我表示理解。Mark Shuttleworth: Yes sir, I’ll get right on it. Please let me know where the patch is that you produced to help address the issue, and I’ll ask someone to review it. Or alternatively, please point me to the conversations you’ve had with upstream about that so I can join them. Or alternatively, point me to your account representative or customer account details, and I’ll have it addressed as part of that commercial relationship. Or point me to other places that you participate in free software or Ubuntu, so I can help you out in return for the contributions you make. Or, if you’re just having a bad day, I understand.
But if you think it’s ok to show up here and rant because your pet issue hasn’t been addressed, in a product which has otherwise served you well at no cost to you, without making any effort to be pleasant about it, you’re mistaken. Ubuntu and other free software projects aim to be as brilliant as they can be, for the average user, and they are the sum of an enormous collection of contributions. Being pissy about your issue will motivate neither me, nor any of the other ten thousand contributors, to help you out. Think about it. I don’t work for you, unless you’re the sort of person I *want* to work for.
How’s that for putting my foot down?
不过你要是觉得，因为某个软件不能解决你的私人问题（这个软件在其他方面都很好地为你提供服务，而且是免费地），然后从来没有为了让这个软件更符合你的需要而付出努力，就可以跑到这里大发牢骚，那你错了。Ubuntu和其他专案都希望为普通用户提供尽可能好的服务，它们是无数贡献的总和。你这种态度可没法激励我和数万名其他贡献者来帮你的忙。好好想想吧。我不是为你干活的人，除非你是那种人，那种我由衷地愿意为你干活的人。
