As I indicated in my last reply to you, at present, I am very
busy, and only contribute occasionally. <br>
<br>
If the criteria for being on this list as being able to put in
more time, then by all means, feel free to remove me from this
e-mail list. <br>

I have updated this Wiki Page with some new information
which a bit more in details than here: <a

Myself and some 'active' members of Lubuntu have discussed
lately about the activities of the team in general. We have
noticed there are some people who remain silent for months
without any notice and then show up suddenly then disappear
again. We noticed that the list of members need to be
cleaned up so the Team Leaders of Lubuntu know at least who
is contributing and ask them for help and who is not. We
have noticed that the overall activities have been much less
and while this could be normal in regular releases at this
stage, it is NOT for this cycle - why? simply because
Lubuntu 14.04 is going to be an LTS Release and that
requires lots of 'TEAM' work and I insist, TEAM WORK.<br>
<br>
</div>
Also, we <i>(active members of the team) </i>came to
understand that previously, some tasks/roles were being
handled by only 1-2 people if not only one. This has proved to
add unbelievable stress and huge burden over the shoulder of
those people. And, in most times, when they were in need to
help and support, they got very little bit of it. THIS must
NOT be the case in this cycle. And, I am sorry to be extra
honest here but I will simply leave Lubuntu once and for all
if I will continue to feel that this is a few people job
rather than a Community and Team work. <br>
<br>

Team work = "We must all have a great sense of responsibility
and not let things happen because everyone takes the comfortable
view that someone else is looking after it. Someone else isn't
looking after it."<br>

<div>Lubuntu needs you for the coming 6 months
and even after releasing Lubuntu 14.04 LTS,
whether it will be supported for 2 years or
more Lubuntu will still need you. Please,
don't let Lubuntu down! <br>
<br>
</div>
<div>You may wonder what is the big deal behind
all that but for myself and some other
members, this is called Loyalty and being in
love with Lubuntu which will make you dedicate
some of your own time to do things and most of
the time, do more than what you are supposed
to do. Lubuntu has a special magic that not
only can breathe new life into an old
semi-dead machine but can take you far away
and open your mind and change your life.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>Before the Real Hard and Tough Work starts
for 14.04, it is a very good time to discuss
such issues before 'active' people get busy
with testing, bugs, etc and won't have time to
stuff like that :)<br>

<div>Hopefully, we can get this list updated
soon!<br>
</div>
<div>Because, we do need to know who is
contributing and participating and who is not.
At least, for our information and I see
nothing wrong with that :)</div>
