I just wanted to extend my utmost thanks for everyone and their level of enthusiasm and / or contributions!
I think we have matured greatly in a very short period of time and I would like to see the progress continue. We have some very promising directions to head in for Edgy, and hopefully _everyone_ will pick up the ball that Frank sets forth. Taking the art from Proposal to Production will probably seem like a long and hard road for many, but it is incredibly important to keep the eyes open and attempt to work within the constraints that will guide the process. We will require everyone to keep contributing development in whatever style is decided, which can cause some folks some discomfort. Be professional -- work within the constraints and take the concepts to a higher level. Your efforts are not going unnoticed. It is expected that everyone will contribute to the same level they already have, only with a more restricted set of design parameters. And always remember that the target is Ubuntu, so it must _fit_ into the greater whole. On that note, I would also like to welcome _two_ individuals who have stepped up and offered some interest in the sound design portion of Ubuntu: Peter Savage and Jono Bacon. Peter has already posted some great effort to the wiki -- let's try to get some comments posted to steer the development. Jono is involved with Jokosher development ( http://www.jokosher.org ) in addition to being a musician. With these two folks, I would bet that we are in an absolutely remarkable position to elevate Edgy beyond our initial goals. If you have ever seen a motion picture, you will appreciate how important sound design is on the overall project. Ubuntu is no different. Our little art family just got a tad stronger... Finally, we should also take the time to review and update our Wiki area. Étienne and Pascal have taken the lead on it, but I am quite sure they would welcome any contributions and help. I will attempt to collate Frank's decisions into a clear summary when the time comes. Thanks once again, and may the development proceed as exceptionally well as it has thus far. Let's push the rock to the finish line. Sincerely, TJS PS: Although everyone has very tight schedules, I am quite sure that the other family members (Edubuntu, Xubuntu, and Kubuntu) require much work to take them into Edgy. Perhaps those responsible can ask for a little more help with required issues and get some contributed assistance. We are a small team, so everyone needs to stick together and support each other. Thanks again...
