If you check the credits of the 12.04 version of the Manual you'll see my name under Authors: http://files.ubuntu-manual.org/manuals/getting-started-with-ubuntu/12.04/en_US/screen/Getting%20Started%20with%20Ubuntu%2012.04.pdf I left the team because I didn't have time to contribute when I was moving from Ireland to Oregon. I also dislike working in HEX which they were using at the time, I'm more comfortable being able to work in Libre Office. I will be busy in the morning checking out those links you shared and I will definitely be looking into membership and helping out where I can, anyone that follows me on social media knows that I am passionate about Ubuntu. I haven't gotten involved in the OSU LUG, I tend to be very introverted but I will be making much more of an effort from now on.
Now about those breweries, The Ninkasi, Oatis, Oatmeal Stout is one of the very best and I love it, but the Oakshire Espresso Stout is something to be savoured, that one will wake you up on a Sunday morning. So you can safely assume that we'll be taking a trip to Eugene in the future. :-) On Thu, Mar 12, 2015 at 10:18 PM, Walter Lapchynski <[email protected]> wrote: > Welcome, Linda!
