Xubuntu? Yes, you can use Ubuntu to create your own custom distros, may
be using WMs like fluxbox which are comparatively lighter to a GNOME or
KDE based Ubuntu. But, at the end of the day the question is who is
going to maintain the packages for them? IMHO, we can try contributing
to existing packages and packaging them for the latest upstream version
than doing something like this.

Yes sure, If you have any new idea of a cool app propose it, there will
be some one in this list who wants to join and make it. We had some
projects started in our team, but as we have become more and more
occupied with our job we are not able to be active. Would you like to do
something? Please propose, we were here to help you :)

AFAIK, we have never done any promotion till now. I am eager to know
what made you conclude on that?
Disclaimer: The Ubuntu India Loco team has nothing to do with the "Ubunt
India Promoters" group in Launch Pad, as of now.
