Hi Trust,

Unfortunately, the Ubuntu Zim Loco team has kind of disbanded, and we
havent had a Team meeting for quite a long time.
I think we've met like two or three times this whole year...most of
the members have had other commitments, and generally
the interest in driving Ubuntu in Zimbabwe has lost momentum....

However, i can try and organise a meeting with a few people who may be
interested in LPI.

You can contact me off the mailing list, then we can try and plan a
way forward with this.
