Hello everyone, we already have 49 members in the LXDE/Lubuntu group on Launchpad. Time to move ahead. Currently not all people are subscribed to the mailing list, so I wrote this email below, which I am sending to those people directly.
In order to get the distro going, we need to focus on artwork, applications and at the moment we urgently need people, who can make (or want to learn) deb-packages for the new components and updated LXDE components. I am looking forward to see this project grow. All the best, Mario --------------------------------------- Hello, thank you for joining up with us in the LXDE team and in the Lubuntu team on Launchpad. MAILING LIST I have seen, that you have not subscribed to the mailing list yet. In order to improve communication in the team, I invite you to join us here. You can join the mailing list after signing in to Launchpad and using a link in the mailing list section below the map: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop IRC There are also other ways to communicate with contributors. Most participants are currently meeting up on the LXDE IRC. As the community is still relatively small, it makes sense to use the same channel still. Please join us on irc.oftc.net #lxde CURRENT TASKS We had a gathering with the Open Source community in Singapore a couple of months ago. Luther Goh Lu Feng and others have started to bring different people together. Now 49 people have joined the Lubuntu group already. In order to move things forward we now need to focus on a few tasks. We need people: 1. creating packages of the new LXDE components and updated components (Please also see http://wiki.lxde.org/en/Category:Packaging and join the developers mailing list of LXDE https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/lxde-list) 2. making artwork (two contributors started to post their suggestions for logos and wallpapers already). Please also post files in the forum and leave a message on the Lubuntu mailing list, so everyone can have a look: http://forum.lxde.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=437 3. Decide on best applications to include. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu 4. Make the distro I am excited how much I am learning during the process and it is great fun to team up with people from all over the world! We are looking forward to get this distro moving ahead and welcome your involvement. All the best, Mario _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
