I don't mind admin-ing both. Since I do have quite abit of time on my hand to do other stuff as well.

OK by me to give this a try, if you have the time. The actual ubuntu.sg domain name belongs to BillyAM, and I hope to get together with him soon. He has to sign off on anything we plan of course, but I think he will be willing. You want also to admin both FB page and group?

What are everyone's thoughts on this?

      Just a reminder, not to get our resources spread too thinly.

      We can use Facebook group as a place to discuss besides the Mailing
      List.
      And the fan page as tool for us to spread and let the rest know that WE
      DO EXIST!

      I've talked to a few people whom I met at Hackerspace after the
      Ubuntu/SLMG meeting, one of them told me that he knows a lot of local
      startups using Ubuntu mainly as their workstation, but he have not heard
      about the existence of our group. How sad is that?

      We are the so-called "official" team representing Ubuntu in Singapore,
      yet we are still "unheard" of.

      We need to make a statement of some sort. If we can do it in Facebook,
      let it be done!
