For the last 8 years, I have been dealing with Multi-Cultures people on
daily basis so aside of I like to have new friends from all over the world,
yes, this is a huge added extra help and support for the project to have
people from different time zones and different countries speaking different
languages :)

My passion is Linux then English :)
But this is a bit off-topic now :P

So, it is good to have so many people speaking different languages because
it means we can reach to more people ;)

Man, with all these languages, you seriously can be a huge help and support
and I can't wait to see your contributions ;)

Work behind the scenes? hehe, this is totally the opposite for me :P

I am not sure what happened with him and what kind of progress he has
achieved so far?
I am going to send a new email, CC him and the list so hope you two could
discuss that ;)

Yes, writing and spreading the word, at this stage, is too much important
but since we are a team with nearly 40 members, we must work on too
different tasks at the same time :)

So you know Jop? he brought so great news the other day :D
I assume he invited you to this team ;)

Even if he did, the more, the better, IMHO :) I mean, don't wait for
someone to do anything, do what you feel it is helpful!

I must thank you for joining and showing that interested. I am not doing
something big, just trying to help people and have fun to get to know more
new people from all around this world. It is nice to find people who share
the same passion and goal :)

Thanks and I do appreciate your help :)
