Ubuntu-LB Hibr.me article

[Danny Abukalam]

Great Idea. I also volunteer myself as an editor. The opportunity to write
should be made to all in ubuntu-lb who want to, but grammar and spelling
mistakes will definitely not reflect on our group in a good way, and it's
imperative that they are perfect upon publication.

Thanks,

Danny
