I have no idea how their system work and to be honest don't want to be involved, I have enough stuff to care about but I was just wondering. I'll keep searching for people who can really support us financially. In case I find someone, what shall I do? We never discuss the financial case, and it's quite a complex topic :) Imagine, you want to give 10 € to Lubuntu, how do you share it between people who make Lubuntu : - Lubuntu project (and who in the Lubuntu project ?) - Ubuntu project (because we are based on Ubuntu) - Debian project (because we are besed on Ubuntu, which is base on Debian) - LXDE project (because we used many LXDE components) - Other upstream projects (kernel, abiword, gnome-mplayer ...) - ... One idea is to have in the software-center a button to support upstream projects, or / and having a page with all the support links. But, money doesn't do all. For an open source project, we primarily need users, developers, testers, and people who spread the work :) Well, I think there is a bug using these on both Lubuntu 11.10 and 11.04. On 11.10, adding the above two packages will not add the username. Adding the username must be done through indicator-me which is gone in 11.10 and no longer in the repositories. http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/07/ubuntu-11-10-menu-goodbye/ As for 11.04, indicator-me package is still in the repositories but when I added it and rebooted, it's done and on PCManFM, there is no File, Edit, etc ... I have no idea what happened. There is already some bugs and I commented on one of them but can't find it right now. I have asked that question because there is a case where there are 3 different users are using the same PC and they want something to display the name of the current logged in user beside a feature to switch to another user. indicator-me package has 126 files to be downloaded and installed. I was wondering if it's impossible to use indicator me in 11.10, is there any other alternative? Maybe (just a guess) it's because lxdm doesn't support switching user, so adding indicator-session doesn't show the user name, because it's an indicator for switching user.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Me again :)
Here's a suggestion for the username in the panel: does each user get their own settings for the panel? If so, then you could set up the clock display like this: %F | %R [Username] (or however you like it) to display the user's name. Just a thought...

Hello Julien, Thank you so much for your reply :) 1- I'll put this topic for discussion in the next team meeting. I would like to set up teams, and the Marketing team is one of them.

Using tag seems to be useful, because some requests / questions may apply to all the derivatives. No, on Ubuntu Forum, there is no dedicated Sub-Forum for the other variant (Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Edubuntu or Lubuntu) but instead, there is Prefix Feature: http://i52.tinypic.com/i2ks2s.jpg I totally understand and actually SUPPORT the idea of keeping Lubuntu as it is on Ubuntu Forum but I'm not really sure whether having a Sub-Forum on Ubuntu Forum for Lubuntu is a good or bad idea? Ubuntu Forum has many Sub-Forum (Absolute Beginner Talk, General Help, Hardware and Laptops, Multimedia and Video, Desktop Environment, etc) and I was just wondering how good or bad if Lubuntu will have a Sub-Forum just like the other Categories? we are NOT isolating it, we are just Organizing it. As long as it will have Clear and Obvious Category, everyone can jump in and help. I see lots of posts from people who are not Lubuntu Users but they are willing to help and I see that daily, not to mention those who help out with testing :) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1870442 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1888933 What about a Sub-Forum on LXDE Forum? if that's possible, it would be great since I'm a moderator there.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Me again :)
Great! I see no reason why we couldn't have a forum-Ubuntu has one, Kubuntu has one, presumably Xubuntu is gnashing their teeth to have one...

[Lubuntu-desktop] Me, again
Hi, as we got the Lubuntu beta 1's out Please appreciate that for me, official Lubuntu is very new. For those in charge of getting the iso's fixed I will buy a drink for. We've have had https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Testing up as our area for a while, with the little pause between beta 1 and beta 2, if some of you good people could have a crawl over it and let me know what I need to alter to bring in both the QA releases and daily ones. As an aside, I did not see any apple mac iso's available, they were there earlier under daily builds - Whom should I ask about that. (I'm going to murder the Lunbunteer who down loaded verified the alternate image whilst I had dinner with my parents :P ) Whilst I am not the 1st to test things, as an admin I do track them :) Thank you to all for the kindness you have shown the baby of the family.
