Hi again,

I have not read that on the news/post/link. I did not understand your first
email, hence my emails. I'm sorry but all in all, this discussion was
helpful so at least, everyone know what we are up to :)

Enough to remain silent about Start Ubuntu Project as a project that must
be a Priority and it is for me, to be honest.

Having the said, I do agree that it is better for them to wait for 14.04.

And, I do suggest we discuss more in depth about Start Ubuntu.

I have also read the other day but forgot to sent it. The Spanish Gov is
also willing to use Linux and save about 20 Millions Euro.

So, my friends, the coming days will be really full of fun and hard work.
Let's do it.

Sorry again Phill. I guess I was so excited. You know me.

P.S.
Wait, why should we wait for the Germany Gov to do that move? why not we do
it????
