I had been using Ubuntu on my laptop for about a<br>year before getting involved with Ubuntu Women in 2006, which was my<br>first real exposure to the Ubuntu community. Over the years
I've<br>benefited from encouragement of my peers within this project at pretty<br>much every step of the way, from becoming an Ubuntu Member to being<br>nominated for a spot on the Ubuntu Community Council.<br><br>So thanks to everyone here for helping foster an encouraging and<br>supportive environment that has been so essential to my success, you<br>all rock.<br><br>-- <br>Elizabeth Krumbach // Lyz // pleia2<br><a href="http://www.princessleia.com/" target="_blank">http://www.princessleia.com</a><br><br><br> </div><div style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "times new roman", "new york", "times", serif"> </div> </div></body></html>
