Re: Ubuntu Advertising: Announcements 12/3

 

Hey everyone,

Sorry about sending those twice or three times! Gmail had some weird
issue...

Also, we'd like to apologize if we came across as the only team leaders!
Jason is still the leader and the three of us just had some time to discuss
things and get those announcements drafted. No foul play or anything of that
nature. :)

Lastly, the meeting is in about a week! Please vote on the times if you have
not already. As always, you can vote here: http://goo.gl/hqJnc

Thanks, and have a great weekend!
Cassidy James
