Hi,
> *This team is for users and contributors to the Ubuntu GNOME project.* > > *Help us make GNOME and Ubuntu better!* > These are the principles of our team and mailing list. I don't know what to say, the branding is very important and I do want to discuss it here, that's why we have a mailing list, we are a community. If you don't enjoy the [Artwork] topic, ignore such messages. Sorry if I got you wrong. If you were referring to the lack of other kind of messages, we just can't force it; we can't hire a guy to write posts with tips then and now, this mailing list is basically built upon the users's and Ubuntu GNOME team's contributions, *contributions of any kind, not just technical and educational.* I'm sorry. Best regards, Alfredo. On 22 August 2013 16:49, <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello everyone.
