Hello everybody, I understand perfectly what you wrote and I apologize for the hasty creation of the group. In the description of the group I made a point to say that the group is unofficial Ubuntu GNOME group and just deleted the image with the logo. But if you believe it is better to delete the group, I can delete.
I'm enjoying being part of Ubuntu GNOME team and what's best for the team, I will do. Now, Im going to sleep because it is too late in Brazil and I'm tired. Thanks, guys. And sorry again...
