Sun Feb 9 21:47:19 UTC 2014

That would be a fantastic way to keep everyone informed and is may be
convenient for all sub-teams.

>> Each Leader/Driver of each Sub-Team of Ubuntu GNOME needs to provide a

>>
>> These Weekly Reports should be in form of 'Email' not a Wiki Page, not a
>> blueprint, nothing complicated. Just a simple and plain email.
>>
>> These Weekly Reports will be posted on our website and social media
>> channels every week.
>>
>> Each Monday (for example), we will share our reports with the whole world
>> so submission should be before that.
>>
>> News, Updates, Plans, stuff like that. That is all about. No Technical
>> stuff or things that hard to understand. Just interesting things that the
>> world needs to know about us.
>>
>> Each Sub-Team has a mailing list. It is time to use these :)
>>
>> I am excited and willing to start right now but as always, I do need your
>> opinion.
>>
>> I trust this idea will make Ubuntu GNOME more popular. Bring more

>>
>> We do have a website and social media channels. Let's get the best of

>>
>> This is a proposal. Feel free to agree/disagree and I care for your

>> +1 = Agreed.
