My look back on 2011?

We not only survived an event that would have despatched other teams to
oblivion, we, under the incredible and tenacious attitude of Julien got
through it.

I am not going to fall into the trap of try mentioning all those people who
made 11.10 happen, every person within the lubuntu team and our ubuntu
family has not only given more of themselves, asked a bit of a help, or a
favour from someone during the trek for us to attain full adoption. It got
tough, but Lubuntu 11.10 arrived on specification, on time and within
budget!

12.04 brings new challenges. Lubuntu is ready for them, even over the
'holiday' season our IRC team are in place, the QA / testing team, our
start on IRC / Wiki / Forum interaction teams have been started. As we have
never lost our dev team nor artwork team, it was a case of getting the
"everything else" into teams. Still got to get the translations team fully
back up to speed. As lubuntu is a lean, mean and nimble flavour of the
ubuntu family, we can be nimble.

So, for 2012?

Get on board, the teams are at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/GettingInvolved and you can find a list of
who we all are, along with our time zones etc. at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Get%20Involved/WhoWeAre

Here is to 2012. The team that got us from 9.04 from the very, very alpha
one before I joined at about 9.10, can I say thank you. You did it, it will
always remain as "yeah, I made a difference". Whllst we nagged over things,
we have always had a an agreement.

Thank you to all of Lubuntueers, it matters not when you joined. It matters
that you have. I'd like to sign off with an oft quoted comment, but for me
chatting with devs and then taking the time to explain to me, a wiki / doc
person ......

We were all n00bs when we were born, the lubuntu te
