Yeah, this sounds good. Maybe we should also briefly revise the general
direction stuff and make any modifications to those as well if we feel
they need to be changed.

I could think so as well, but you never know... :)

Okay. Let's do this parallel to the next meeting. Maybe we should also
remove Michael from the leaders list or at least put his name on
parenthesis if he doesn't show up in the meeting or before it?

What I gathered from this mail we need to cover at least the following
topics (read: AGENDA):

1) Review the Xubuntu strategy document
- Modify to suit the council-type approach (Jim will look into this
before the meeting)
- Briefly revise the overall strategy and modify if needed

2) Approve (and forward) the new Xubuntu governancy
- See 1), will need to have the final form ready in the document so we
can approve it!

3) Review the leaders list

4) Other topics
- Artwork for Lucid (Shimmer/polish Albatross)?
- Default applications for Lucid?
- [Insert your "other topic" here]

Cheers,
