[Ubuntu-SG] Back!

[Maung Myat Thu @ Billy Aung Myint]

Terms and Conditions: 

      * To qualify for sponsored website or server space a team must be
        officially recognised as an approved Ubuntu LoCoTeam (see the
        first table on the LoCoTeamList page) 
        

The first of the terms and conditions says it all ... We can't get one
for now. Perhaps when we get large enough.

regards
billy
