[Start Lubuntu] Road Map/Master Plan - version 1.0

[Fernando Botelho]

Hi, I am interested if we can be a bit more ambitious about it.

For example, if we keep using the word Linux in our communication, we 
will keep scaring away the same 90 to 95% of potential users; the 
non-technical ones.

We should use Lubuntu or Ubuntu or some other catchy brand that mentions 
nothing about Linux.

Google avoids the word Linux in both Android and its Chrome laptops and 
they have a few million times the resources we have. So if they cannot 
make the brand Linux sound user friendly, I do not think we should waste 
time and energy trying to do so. After all, we are trying to get people 
some fredom, not compete with the power of mass media head-on.

Just a suggestion,

Fernando
