Am I the only one that sees a great opportunity here? Ubuntu Open Week is a time to show the community what a great distribution Xubuntu really is! Why don't I see us doing a "how to get involved in Xubuntu", "Xubuntu is made for lower-end hardware", "XFCE 4.6 and upwards". These are a few ideas. This is for the USERS, not the inside group. UDS and Ubuntu Developers Week take care of insiders. Is there anything we want to tell the world? How do we get more people involved in Xubuntu without showcasing some of it? I am not the best person to run a presentation. That does not mean I won't. I can't do it alone, though. We have a whole week here to "show and tell". Are we just going to let it go by without being involved?</blockquote></div> Well, I'll try to be there to assist (do be sure to send a reminder here ;-), but I'll be going on a holiday in two hours so I don't really have much time to spend planning... Furthermore, from the 24th to the 26th I'll also be away, so I'm quite busy this month ;-). But, as said, I'll try to be there, and perhaps when I get back (the 19th) I can prepare something, if someone wants to collaborate :) -- Vincent
