Hello all,

in previous session we got almost no participation, i guess that 
happened because many of you didn't have installed 12.04.
I think it's a good idea to hold help sessions again this weekend. I'll 
announce the times that i'll be available soon. If anyone of the 
contributors with experience in project can help also, feel free to 
announce the times that you can be on our irc channel for the same purpose.

Our irc channel is the #ubuntu-manual on freenode.net

Let me know what you think.

Thank you for your time !
