Well the point of mailing the mailing list was to get dialogue going and
in that regard it this was a good exercise. It would be good to get some
media attention in Ireland about Ubuntu but I do agree with the points
that have been made. We will all contribute to media exposure in
whatever way we can but not actually have a team for instance events
like release parties or the barcamp.
