Hi Bruce,
I am sorry again for my late reply. I was on my 100% zombie and I had to
leave everything and stay away from everything. Luckily, I found a place
that not only restored my wasted energy but charged me with a massive
power/energy :D I will share some photos later on G+ ;)
I stayed away from the social media for nearly 48hours now without one
single second wasted on any social media, YAY!

Alpha 2 was released and as you all know, I voted not to participate and
the major reason is: we did not yet start any kind of planning for Ubuntu
GNOME.
This must be done ASAP no matter what. With or without a meeting. I'll do
my very best to finish the planning phase this week. If we can have a
meeting, so be it. If not, I will not waste one single second on that any
more. Next cycle, this must be more organized. I'd blame myself for that
but if I want to be logical and realistic, this is a community and we
should all work as one team and never depend on others to do everything.
Obviously, I was burned out to death. I am sure everyone has seen the
survey-results video. I was a pure zombie :) to the point, someone I have
never talked to sent me an email to help which I had no time to finish
reading it but it made me speechless. I can't thank him enough for that :)
without reading the email, I managed to fix/heal myself but I'll read it
for sure soon, hopefully.

I'll see what I can do but this is no longer a priority. We wasted so much
time discussing when.

Good point, thanks :)

If we will waste more time discussing/arguing about which platform is
better? we would never have any meeting in 10 years :)
That is why, if everyone can please notice, I mentioned:
IRC/Hangout
I'd adjust that to:
Either IRC and/or Hangout.
These are the main 2 platforms and I'll not waste one single second nor
reply anything else but these two. No, I am not acting as a dictator here
but let's all think about it ... if everyone is going to share his/her
favourite platform, we will end up with empty hands and nothing worth
mentioning.

Thank you!
I will do my best to do something today ... it is 10:05am here my time so
let's see .. will keep you all posted :)
P.S.
Tons of emails lately on the mailing list, very very long. I will NOT read
that. Better to invest this time doing something useful to the entire world
rather than reading emails. Please everyone, do not be offended by Ubuntu
GNOME comes first, at the moment for me ;)
