Hello Elias and everyone,

First of all, please accept my apology for the very late reply. I have a
very bad habit if I won't reply an email the moment it arrives, I sometimes
forget to reply :(

Sorry about that!

You have made the right choice, no doubt about that. Thank you for joining,
using and choosing Ubuntu GNOME!

We do need someone like you. You are indeed on the right place :D

The areas you have mentioned are all important but if truth to be told, we
do need Marketing and QA at the moment more than anything else. That does
not mean other areas are less important but there are areas of need.

For Wiki and Docs, everything is under control for now.
As mentioned above, we lack lots of help within Marketing and we always
need more testers.

The good news is: you don't need many hours, you just need 1 hour or even
30mins daily if that is possible or couple of hours weekly.

This kind and nice words mean a lot to us and to me as well. Thank you so
much!

I still did not setup my @ubuntu.com because of some technical problems as
far as I can tell :/

We don't contact other member individually, usually. We use the mailing
list. Sometimes though, we do that - case to case.
