Xubuntu is not for old machines only it's for developers who requires to
utilize resources efficiently at highest level. Please don't discourage
by saying "we are using it for old machines". Thanks.

Yes,
A lot of people have broken windows 7 systems on old machines in
cupboards which they could revitalise by putting Xubuntu onto
rather than trashing it.

Hi Samuele,
Welcome. If you'd like to help with translations, you can work on the
user-docs and the installer slides. I'd recommend starting with the
installer slides as there are only 15 strings to translate.
https://translations.launchpad.net/xubuntu-docs/master/+lang/it
https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/focal/+source/ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu/+pots/ubiquity-slideshow-xubuntu/it/+translate
Translations have to be approved by the italian translations group,
so it would be good to contact them on their mailing list and
introduce yourself there, which should help get your contributions
merged faster, as you can contact them directly to request to look
over your work.

When it comes to filing bugs, many bugs would need to be filled
upstream with xfce, while other bugs would be xubuntu specific bugs
and filed on launchpad. If you are not sure, you can join us on IRC.

Hello,
I am Samuele, and would like to start contributing to this project.
I am finishing a degree in Electronics and Informatics Engeneering.
I would like to introduce myself telling some of my skills and
interest and why I would like to contribute to this project at list
for this 10 days before the official release.
## My story with Linux
I am a Fedora Gnome/Ubuntu user. However I used Xubuntu 14.04 a lot
because I had a slow laptop at that time. I did some distro hopping
but Xubuntu was the one that hitted my confort spot. Then I passed
the laptop to mum and tried to find the best distro for her. I
accostumed with Linux Mint Mate but then I discovered poor security
practice of Linux Mint. Then I switched to Ubuntu Mate. I consider
Ubuntu Mate a good distro an Mate is probably lighter os as light as
Xfce, but with more options. However the default are really
questionable, the integration with CSD and Gnome apps in general is
very poor (try to install gnome-weather or gnome-clocks), and their
conservative approach imo is not very good for usability. Also Mate
is good for more geek people but Mate Welcome and excpecially
software Boutique is overwelming for a new user. Also it looks to me
that Xubuntu have more room for improvement and many people would
benefit from them.
## Trying to help with the right to study in the time of coronovirus
I am Italian, wich has been hitted hard by coronavirus. The school
are closed and lessons are often given by the internet. The right of
study is at threat, not everybody has a smartphone, a laptop (or a
fast enough laptop) a tablet to follow the lesson. Some people have
many kids and just one laptop.This put on threat the ONU right to
study. I think Xubuntu could help, so helping for this 20.04 is my
way of helping other people.
## What I'll try to do
I'll try to do some translations in italian, file some bugs and make
some request that I find reasonable.
