Hi,

Thank you so much for your work and everything has been done so far.

But, don't everyone here think there is a very basic yet very important 
missing part?

I have asked before to slow down but it seems no one is listening to me :(
While, again, I do and highly appreciate all the efforts and this great 
team work spirit, I still feel sad that no one is listening to me.

Why the double work?

The missing chain is: Artwork.
Do we have Artwork yet?
The answer is NO.

Having that said, you guys will have to re-do whatever you are doing now 
because there is no Artwork yet.
While I highly trust each one of you, I wish you do trust me as well. 
When I ask nicely to wait, then you need to wait.

I have talked to Rafael, Lubuntu Artwork Team Leader and as always, he 
is interested to help, I just need to keep reminding him and be pain on 
his neck.

I do hate to see anyone of you burns out. Why? because for 3 days now, I 
can't do anything except replying emails and can't even read other 
emails. You have to trust me, please!

I can't give any feedback now. We haven't decided yet what Logo we shall 
use and consider as 'official' rather just for fun.
We haven't yet decided the 'basic'.

WE are doing great job, NO DOUBT about it. However, we are 'not' doing 
it the right way, we are not following the right and correct order.

Artwork >> Website >> Social Media

Without the Artwork: Official Logo, Official Theme (for the website), 
Colors, Wallpaper, etc ... whatever we are doing right now, will be 
re-done again.

Of course, I know nothing about web design. I have www.amjjawad.net 
which is my personal website but it is 'not' yet ready. The admin of the 
website is super busy and while the registration has been done ages ago, 
I didn't yet use it. So, I don't want to act smart here at all. Maybe 
changing themes on the website won't take 5 mins? I have no clue. But I 
am just saying, it is better to do it step by step :)

I know you will hate me for this (all of you) but I am trying to be 
honest and direct. I could be wrong. I could be so tired. Perhaps I 
should not be here right now.

Keep it up everyone!
