Hello all, In the past few days I have been thinking in a way to get more contributors to get involved with Lubuntu. In the beginning I was thinking about a broader approach and hence we could gather forces with the guys at Ubuntu to get more people involved. I think it is fair to say that we could use some help to all teams.
I don't want to generalize and hopefully you won't get me wrong. The Wiki & Docs is reduced to me only, the devs have always passed difficulties the keep the release on time and with great quality and I'm not sure if we have a Communications TL, after Silverlion (Jens) had to freeze his contributions. If we do, then maybe we could refine the current approach in order to get more people involved. I have some ideas that I can discuss if needed. Nevertheless, I'm guessing that new users bring new blood around and that is something that we must appreciate. Lubuntu is an important distribution of Ubuntu, and I definitely don't want to see it attached to hard, individual work. Besides, I'm guessing that all teams would benefit in numerous projects if they just had an extra par of hands. Now I can speak for myself: I have so many ideas for our Wiki... But not enough time. I want to help, but I can't do it alone. I know some of you guys have been helping a lot and you'll always give a hand when you can, but unfortunately that is not enough. A social media strategy plan is an idea, but I am not sure if there is something you guys have previously tried. Also, I think it would be great if we gather forces, and not recruit solely to one team. In any case, I don't have access to the Facebook official page, so I am sure I wouldn't be able to officially announce anything. So, summarizing, I have a couple of questions to discuss with the admins: - Do we have a team leader for Communications?; - Does s/he has a marketing plan?; - Which teams want to collaborate and try to define a strategy to increase our number of contributors?; - Even if you don't want to gather forces, would you mind suggesting a few ideas to bring some people closer? Apologies for the long email. I really appreciate your time and help on this. -- Best Regards / Obrigado e com os melhores cumprimentos, Gustavo Silva *Phonebloks <https://phonebloks.com/en>, Partnership Manager* *Lubuntu Wiki & Documentation <https://launchpad.net/%7Elubuntu-wiki-docs>, Team Leader*
