Re: [Lubuntu Official] Good news people :) I'm glad to tell you:

 

Phill,

With all due respect to your personal opinion, I do disagree with you :)

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/CommunicationsTeam/WOWLubuntu/StartUbuntu

I have created this project months ago. I was NOT planning to hold anything
back. As a respect to the decision to wait, that was because this project
was born in March and we had to release 13.04. Now, 13.04 has been
released, 13.10 is under development, I simply 'fail' to see any good point
to wait.

The Germany Government has made that move. This is a HUGE move. We should
carry on and be happy, not to hold or wait, PLEASE!

I'm saying it here now, publicly, that I can simply stop ALL my activities
on Lubuntu Community and JUST focus on Start Ubuntu.

This Project must NEVER wait. You may think we do have time. Sorry, this is
wrong. We do not have time. Time flies and runs so fast.

IMHO, let them start using any version of Lubuntu. Let them get used to it.
Let them explore it. Let them start asking Qs. ALL that time, from now to
14.04, we will have so many feedback, notes, suggestions, etc. This will no
question will HELP us to make a rock solid system.

I've been asked to change the name of Start Lubuntu to Start Ubuntu. I've
been told to wait until 13.10. ALL done.
Now, I'm sorry, I'm not planning to remain silent after this huge step from
the Germany Government.

Please read and contact me if you have any Q.

Let's do it, please!
