new lubuntu.net site available

[Phill Whiteside]

Maybe,

but coming from different directions as to "you will obey the orders of us
/ the council" or else..... I chose the "or else" option. I came to *buntu
because of its free spirit and democracy. I've now found out that it is
neither. Whilst SABDFL over-looks everything, it was supposed to be our
teams / flavours that ran them democratily with any 'major' decisions being
put to the 'public' vote via our members email list.

It is the failure to up hold the members votes that makes it a simple
matter of "we are windows, we will do & get what ever Bill Gates decides",
or we are decide. Evidently, we do not decide.

Phill.
