WOW Lubuntu!

Joey Sneddon is a Lubuntu User? WOW, that is news to me :D

I'm SO glad too know that and needless to say I can't wait for it :)

Unquestionably, definitely and absolutely :) I would never mind to work
with other media to reach to more people because after all, this is the
main mission and target ... Lubuntu is a great system not only for Old
Machines and many people out there don't know that which is sad but true so
I'm here to do whatever it takes to reach to more people and of course I'm
not alone, so many good people are helping and ready :)

So +1 to that.


I do love the idea of a Lubuntu-user themed blog though. It's something

We have now some pages on Facebook and Google+ but the most active one is
Lubuntu Official Group because many Lubuntu Team Members are active there
so when you post, it's few mins/hours and you get many replies.
https://www.facebook.com/groups/lubuntu.official/

However, each page, IMHO must has dedicated job. Facebook Group, as per my
experience and honest opinion, is not good for publishing news but so good
when it comes to support.

For publishing news, it's either a blog or a page.

WOW Lubuntu could be merged to Lubuntu Facebook Page (it has 4K users
already) which means much more users will see what we shall publish.


Perhaps once Lubuntu! finds it's feet, we could work together to do

I'm open to any suggestion and ready to work side by side with you or
anyone else who support Lubuntu and like it :)

I'm a big fan of OMG Ubuntu and I wish to see more about Lubuntu and/or
having something similar.


I see you are a subscriber to the mailing list so why not join the
communication team too? I'm sure your experience will help Lubuntu a lot :)

Thanks!
