I'm<br> not saying you shouldn't look for input from a wider community, just<br> ultimately it's your show and you have to go with your gut. Everyone<br> will have an opinion as to what Xubuntu *should* be. :P</blockquote><div> <br>I completely agree with you. After getting a feel from the community, myself and other key contributors will make the final decision. I believe that once a direction for Xubuntu has been set, we'll be able to develop a concrete roadmap and avoid certain conflicts that have arisen in the past due to the current ambiguity.<br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Points 3&4 I think can be much more up for debate and planning.<br> <br> I would also like to see a blog/planet/forums posting about this meeting<br> because I feel this can be a significant part of Xubuntu development. So<br> getting a wide word out I would think is best.</blockquote><div> <br>Excellent idea. I wish I had done this sooner.<br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> -Cory \m/<br> <br> PS: Now that I look under you name, are you "officially" the lead?
