[Lubuntu-comms] installing Lubuntu in less than 100 seconds

Wed Jun 26 20:09:15 UTC 2013

Hi,

when we are tired, we must take a break. Within any F/OSS group there will
dis-agreements at times; some of them from widely differing positions. When
dealing in such situations... write your reply & then go and review it a
few hours later. I've been guilty of not doing that, but am hopefully
getting better :)

We all deeply care about lubuntu, but we must also work as a team in order
to best put lubuntu forward. Our emails to the groups are all publicly
accessible - NEVER give those who are against F/OSS have any ammunition
that may be used against us in 'press releases' etc.

Keep it civil!

Regards,

Phill.
