We would like to get word out of the changes being made, as well as new releases. </li> <li> The Xubuntu Community holds a regular meetings alternating on Mondays at 19:00 UTC and Sundays at 22:00 UTC in #xubuntu-devel. Please see the schedule and agenda at <a class="https" href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Meetings">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/Meetings</a>. </li> </ul> </blockquote> I blog sometimes about Xubuntu, but on my poor old computer (my ONLY computer, "mission critical") I rely on the LTS editions so I can't really write about the latest cool stuff going on in development. But I do love to brag about Xubuntu! I do it in my own blog, and I do so discreetly and politely in comments to other blogs and Linux news sites. I think Xubuntu is seriously underrated even though it is probably enjoying a resurgence in new users who are unhappy about Unity. Ironically I'd love to try Unity, but it's too much for this old hardware. <ul> <li>What exactly does the "community lead" do? </li> <li>And what do "community team members" do besides blog about Xubuntu? </li> </ul> I'm not internet savvy enough to run a web site or a forum (but I did co-moderate a YahooGroup for awhile), and I don't know my way around IRC at all. In fact the few times I ventured into IRC, I spent so much time trying (without success) to get a permanent "nickname" and learn the dumb commands there that I eventually gave up. Same with "signing" the Code of Conduct! At the risk of making myself sound like a total imbicile, I admit that I wouldn't be willing to keep trying without some sort of "plain English" step-by-step guide to the process. But I want to contribute if I can, and writing is one way in which I think I might be able to. Could some of you "real" Xubuntu Team Members answer the two questions above and offer some advice to an enthusiastic supporter with my limitations? Thanks very much, Robin </body> </html>
