[UbuntuWomen] Hello All!

[Emma Marshall]

Svetlana,

I don't code but I also have many ideas, so I encourage you to share your
ideas through the resource Lyz posted as well as filtering through the LoCo
Community in your area. While you feel strongly about your ideas (A.K.A.
Passion) please don't hesitate to share them because the more people you
share with, the more successful you'll be- especially in this community.

With that said, what exactly are your ideas?

Please share with us and maybe one of us can connect you with someone who
can put your ideas into action. I'm happy to help in any way I can, even
though I don't code!

Keep up the great work and keep those ideas flowing!

Kind Regards,
Emma
