Hi,
Kindly have a read at:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Get%20Involved/WhoWeAre
I have updated this Wiki Page with some new information which a bit
more in details than here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/GettingInvolved#Lubuntu_Community
Myself and some 'active' members of Lubuntu have discussed lately
about the activities of the team in general. We have noticed there are
some people who remain silent for months without any notice and then
show up suddenly then disappear again. We noticed that the list of
members need to be cleaned up so the Team Leaders of Lubuntu know at
least who is contributing and ask them for help and who is not. We
have noticed that the overall activities have been much less and while
this could be normal in regular releases at this stage, it is NOT for
this cycle - why? simply because Lubuntu 14.04 is going to be an LTS
Release and that requires lots of 'TEAM' work and I insist, TEAM WORK.
Also, we /(active members of the team) /came to understand that
previously, some tasks/roles were being handled by only 1-2 people if
not only one. This has proved to add unbelievable stress and huge
burden over the shoulder of those people. And, in most times, when
they were in need to help and support, they got very little bit of it.
THIS must NOT be the case in this cycle. And, I am sorry to be extra
honest here but I will simply leave Lubuntu once and for all if I will
continue to feel that this is a few people job rather than a Community
and Team work.
Team work = "We must all have a great sense of responsibility and not
let things happen because everyone takes the comfortable view that
someone else is looking after it. Someone else isn't looking after it."
Lubuntu needs you for the coming 6 months and even after releasing
Lubuntu 14.04 LTS, whether it will be supported for 2 years or more
Lubuntu will still need you. Please, don't let Lubuntu down!
You may wonder what is the big deal behind all that but for myself and
some other members, this is called Loyalty and being in love with
Lubuntu which will make you dedicate some of your own time to do
things and most of the time, do more than what you are supposed to do.
Lubuntu has a special magic that not only can breathe new life into an
old semi-dead machine but can take you far away and open your mind and
change your life.
Before the Real Hard and Tough Work starts for 14.04, it is a very
good time to discuss such issues before 'active' people get busy with
testing, bugs, etc and won't have time to stuff like that :)

Hopefully, we can get this list updated soon!
Because, we do need to know who is contributing and participating and
who is not. At least, for our information and I see nothing wrong with
that :)
