Re: PLEASE READ IT

 

Hi Amjjawad,

for major stuff on lubuntu.net you need to speak to Mario. I have seen
chats, you need to assure our team that you are in for lubuntu for the long
term and not just some college / university project. Whilst this may seem
harsh, so many have done it over the years & teams / threads / projects
have all gotten the pain of projects being abandoned. Please do not think
we are being negative, just that like all F/OSS projects we have had people
come and go.

May I, on a personal note, also warn you against something that my mentor
warned me upon. Burnout, whereby you work too many hours that cannot be
sustained (which you have already pretty much said you have done), and your
not wishing to have a mentor (experienced person) help you. If you run
yourself to death, or just decide to leave lubuntu the Lubuntu team will
have to pick up the pieces. Please, my young friend, take your time - we
have seen burn out before.

Regards,

Phill.
