I hope you could add that as an edit on the whiteboard, not by replying
this email which is actually a notification email sent by Launchpad to
Ubuntu GNOME Artwrok Team :)

Of course it would be great if we have our own unique artwork, logo, etc :)

Indeed, internal communications must be improved. Therefore, kindly read
this :)

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME/ContactUs#Mailing_List

And, I am referring to:
http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community/mailing-lists

:)

Hmm, who said that? :)

Launchpad has so many usages. I suggest to have a read here:

https://launchpad.net/+tour/index
and
https://help.launchpad.net/

We are using Launchpad to:
1- Organize our Sub-Teams
2- Use the mailing list features for the sub-teams
3- project managements - blueprints

and more :)

Why to re-invent the wheel and waste time and resources?

There is absolutely no need for that. We shall carry on to use the current
available resources.

If you're not yet comfortable with that, I have made two YouTube videos:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGNOME/Brainstorming#HOWTO_Use_Launchpad

Hope that will help you to understand more about Launchpad and Blueprints :)

Thank you thought for your suggestions, I like the idea that members are
sharing their own thoughts with their teams. Keep it up!
