Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Lubuntu Website and Facebook Page

2011-10-06 Thread Rafael Laguna 
War? Nooope. We love each other too much [?]

That's the kick. I don't really know where we are right now, if fully
adopted or partially supported. That's why I don't know what to think about
our website.

Anyway, there's no reason for not having a good and fashion design. I'll
start a few changes here and there and will be prepared for the "ultimate
abduction".

Cheers!

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Lubuntu Website and Facebook Page

2011-10-05 Thread Phill Whiteside 
Okies,

without starting a war... I am also an admin for lubuntu,net, as are a
couple of others. I am sure that if you provide a mock-up, or even just
information we will look at it.

what you may not be aware of is once lubuntu becomes assimilated by the
ubuntu community, we do want to actually have a Lubuntu area.

This is a difficult balancing act; we are asking to be fully adopted, yet
slightly seperate. For those eager to change things, may (for the 1st time
ever) I counsel caution. We have discussed making our web area a source, but
as a part of the Canonical umbrella we have done as much as we can. For
those looking at it, you will not see it. But things like tracking from the
web area directly to the wiki area was an important thing to happen. It
means that we need need to keep only one area up to date for instructions
etc.

Wiki's provide information... a good web presence gets people joining. The
links have been done, if any of you want to make a mock-up of how you would
like to see the page displayed, please do so.

@Rafael... I am sure that Mario would have no hesitation on the icons /
glyphs. I'm not a guy who knows about the finer points of editing that area,
for me the actual system chosen is a nightmare! Mainly owing to the fact me
and others have difficulty in navigating around the admin area. But, this is
usual as each system has a different admin control panel!

Ali,

please be patient, I do see your work on the areas and I'm sure you will be
a great addition to the lubuntu team. Just learn to be patient, get to know
people. Most importantly of all, do not burn out, whereby you give all your
attention to lubuntu and then get tired. We need people who will still be
here in 3 - 5 years time. It has taken this long to get here, you are
joining us as we get goal #1. To those who are patient, come the rewards.

Regards,

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Lubuntu Website and Facebook Page

2011-10-05 Thread Ali Linx 
@Mario

Hi and thanks for your reply, I appreciate that.

Posting to Lubuntu Page on Facebook is open but not the access as an admin.
I do believe that daily interaction with people/users is very important
IMHO. When was the last time Lubuntu Page posted an update? April 29, 2011
at 1:57PM. IMHO, that is one of the reasons why Lubuntu is not yet one of
the top 10 on distrowatch.com.
I do LOVE Lubuntu and I want to see it on top 10 and that won't be easily
achieved if people don't know about it.

The above quote by Linus himself is really useful and we need to think
deeply about it. The guy is right and I do agree with him. SliTaz is much
lighter than Lubuntu and if people will find it and use it more than
Lubuntu, it might be one of the top 10. Excuse me if I'm not an expert
technical guy or a developer or Linux Guru but as one of Lubuntu Member, I
find one of my main responsibility to improve Lubuntu and see it in a better
position and I'm telling you, this OS has ALL the potential to be one of the
top 10 if not top 5.


Access to the lubuntu website will be given to long term active members.

In that case, and if someone so addicted and in love with Lubuntu, what
should he/she do?
How am I suppose to help? the website never got updated since the first time
I've seen it and that was long time ago. If there are some updates, it's
hard to notice. I'm sorry, but I feel like I'm offering my help and someone
else doesn't want that.

Yep, think so. I'm asking about it a few time ago. I'd like to change the

I'm not surprised why they would call us lazy and I hate to be called "lazy"
because I'm not and we are not. BUT YES, we seem to be alone because we
didn't change that fact. IMHO, I don't see we are alone. How many members in
this mailing list? I guess above 700 but I don't see much action.
I don't think we are alone if we decide not to be. This is a community
project and each and every input from each and every member will surely make
a difference.

Sorry Rafaell but I have no access to any of these pages.

You are doing a great job by the way, I like your works :)

@everyone

Forgive me if I'm over reacting but I DO LOVE Lubuntu and I'd like to see
more users and more action and OH YES we can do that in no time :)

Yep, think so. I'm asking about it a few time ago. I'd like to change the
buttons, colours and other things to match corporative image (Canonical
people told me we were a bit "lazy", I told them we were a bit "alone").

I have made some graphics for it, so, if you have time I can send it to you
to upgrade them also (among CMS content, of course).

Another thing is the necessary update of the CMS theme for matching Ubuntu /
Canonical ones but blue-tuned. I heared about a template working out there.

PS. Isn't Mario Behling the admin?
