Hi,

These are the principles of our team and mailing list.
I don't know what to say, the branding is very important and I do want to
discuss it here, that's why we have a mailing list, we are a community.

If you don't enjoy the [Artwork] topic, ignore such messages.

Sorry if I got you wrong. If you were referring to the lack of other kind
of messages, we just can't force it; we can't hire a guy to write posts
with tips then and now, this mailing list is basically built upon the
users's and Ubuntu GNOME team's contributions, *contributions of any kind,
not just technical and educational.* I'm sorry.

Best regards,
Alfredo.
