Hi All, This is in regards to the Xubuntu Beta Release Announcement in place on the Xubuntu wiki ( <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/JauntyJackalope/BetaAnnouncement">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/JauntyJackalope/BetaAnnouncement</a> ) Steve, I am copying you on this in case you are able to include a link to the Xubuntu Beta Announcement in your overall Ubuntu 9.04 Beta Announcement. If it is not part of your practice to do this, we can publicize the announcement via other means. The announcement is still in draft form. Xubuntu team, please feel free to have a look at it. I will be fleshing it out some, but help is welcome. Mention of particular features, screenshots of your standard-install desktops, and announcement revisions are welcome. Charlie or anyone else - are there any known, noteworthy bugs that you would like to be noted in the "Known Bugs" section? If so, feel free to reply here with the bug numbers, or add detail of the bugs to the wiki itself. Thanks very much, Jim <div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Mar 25, 2009 at 3:25 PM, Charlie Kravetz <<a href="mailto:cjk@teamcharliesangels.com">cjk@teamcharliesangels.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">On Wed, 25 Mar 2009 00:29:34 -0500 <div class="im">Jim Campbell <<a href="mailto:jwcampbell@ubuntu.com">jwcampbell@ubuntu.com</a>> wrote: </div><div><div></div><div class="h5">> Hi All, > > The Xubuntu 9.04 Beta release is almost here!
