I am no longer interested. I am trying to focus on the most important task/projects at the moment so I won't burn out. For more in depth, please have a read at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/amjjawad/Lubuntu-Team#My_Projects_with_Lubuntu_Team There is a link for WOWLubuntu Wiki Page where you can read and understand why I founded WOWLubuntu and what was the purpose for all that. Too bad, it was all that time a one-man-task + few help every now and then. Dan and Rafael helped and that was so kind of them. I have always wanted to make something big out of this project but due to so many roles and the limited time, I couldn't do much. Now, I am simply handing it over to someone who might be interested :) > > HOWEVER, from my point of view, I've never understood why so many channels > if we have so few headcount. > That is a long story but I will be very much happy to explain it to you and others if you are interested ;) > > From my side (note it's only my opinion), I'd show all those > channels/links to the Lubuntu community and propose to stay with only 2 > social media channels as of today: Lubuntu Official at FB and G+. > Yes and No. Good and Bad idea. Yes and Good? because Lubuntu Team these days is not as active as it used to be before. No and bad? because each channel has its specific purpose and do a specific task, depending on the nature of the platform of that channel. Example: While it might be similar to someone that Facebook and Google+ are alike, I must tell from experience that the growth on Google+ could be super fast compared to Facebook. Even more, Twitter could be the ultimate one when it comes to the growth and all that depends on the nature of that platform/channel. It is a bit tricky situation.

Now, I think I must say something. First thing first, thank you so much for: 1- Stepping in 2- Offering your help 3- Sharing your thoughts - I LOVE THAT. 4- Suggesting and giving solution instead of just highlighting the issue/problem 5- Being so helpful and nice - this is something rare these days Second of all, while I totally agree with you, however, there is something very important that you and other mates need to be aware of. Any Social Media, Facebook, Google+ and/or Twitter ... will never grow bigger all by itself unless you feed it. Same like a planet on your garden. Without Water, Sun and Good Soil, it will simply, die. Any Social Media, without ANY Interaction between Part A : the Admin and that Media Part B: between the Admin and the Subscribers and Part C: between the Subscribers and that Media this site/media will: 1- Never grow up 2- Is useless Now, here is the tricky part: Before starting the Cleaning Up/Focus Project, you need to evaluate and identity where the problem is? Part A? Part B? Part C? Being a Former Comms TL for Lubuntu and being a current Founder and TL of Ubuntu GNOME Comms, speaking from experience, and if I still may make an observation/remark/feedback/suggestion, then I must say that the problem is with: Part A Because, if Part A is active and doing well, other parts will interact sooner or later. Also, there is a very important note that I have raised 1-2 months ago but NO one showed any interest and ignored that :) The Note is: You need to understand there are two factors - Quality and Quantity. While Quantity does matter, Quality is even more important. And again, it is the team's job to maintain both good level of Quality and Quantity and find a good balance between them. Example? Look at the Facebook Group for Lubuntu. Before, when we had less than 300 members, the group was perfect when it comes to quality. Now, it has over 700 members but I'm following up with the activities. I am sorry but the quality level is getting low big time. However, that is my opinion :) Back to your project, I am offering my help and full support: Here is the list of all the channels: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/ContactUs I have offered my first quick and simple evaluation to everything in this email :) If you or anyone else need more explanation, please ask :) -- Remember: "All of us are smarter than any one of us."
