[Ubuntu Chicago] New Website Theme

[Freddy Martinez]

I like the new layout but I was hoping we can make it more "team related".
The news could be updated, member pages added etc. Richard, I can (try) to
help out if you ping me tomorrow (when I get back to school and a normal
intrawebs connections). On a personal note, I open up a Wordpress account
and use that? I have WP mostly because I find it to be slow...thoughts?
