After I have put so much time and energy on the Wiki Area, I do think it is time to use the same plan for Lubuntu and have sub-teams (Document, Test, etc) BUT for this to happen, I do need first to find more people to join! 20:46 but, I thought it is good idea to bring this to your attention, darkxst :) 20:47 I have already created 3 teams on Launchpad but did not send anything about it as I am waiting the right moment :) 20:48 we can always form more sub-teams as we grow 20:48 +1 20:49 glad you liked the idea :D 20:49 Lubuntu had a successful story with sub-teams and I'd love to do the same with Ubuntu GNOME but we need to grow a bit bigger first hehe 20:50 #topic Slide Show Updates 20:50 darkxst: to keep you in the loop, I have worked on the slide show and send my suggestions to Alfredo and he will work on that and hopefully we can finish that before the freeze :) 20:51 ok, sounds good 20:51 :D 20:51 so, slide show is almost done 20:52 what about Wallpapers? I don't think there is enough time for that, right? 20:52 I mean, no time to include more for example? 20:53 as for 14.04, we will hopefully ask for the community input to submit some wallpapers as this will motivate them and attract them to join and help :) 20:54 sure, we just didnt have time in the end to set that up this cycle' 20:55 yep 20:55 I am so excited to start planning for 14.04 from now heheh 20:55 but I will take it easy :P 20:56 #topic Ubuntu GNOME Web Site 20:57 darkxst: thanks for the access, it was good to add two posts and yet again (as always), I have some ideas and plans for the Web Site but I do need 2 things 20:58 1- Are we counting more on our website? or our mailing list? or our social media? what is the channel that represent our main channel and front line? 20:59 2- Whatever I have in mind for the website, I do need some help and that means, I need to team up yet again with Alferdo to work on that by adding some nice stuff to the website! 21:01 re 1 I think they each serve a different purpose really 21:03 as we still in point 1, what do you expect from the website? or shall I just take care of that entirely and save you the trouble :P 21:04 you can take care of that 21:04 darkxst: ok, then I guess I need to be admin on the Launchpad Tea for the website 21:04 so I can add Alfredo and whoever else interested to work on that website 21:05 sure 21:05 https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-gnome-website/+members#active 21:07 and I guess this one as well: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-gnome-release/+members#active that is why I had no control panel on the ISO Tracker the other day with Beta 1 release :( 21:07 #action darkxst to give amjjawad access of admin on the Lauchpad area 21:07 * meetingology darkxst to give amjjawad access of admin on the Lauchpad area 21:09 if you need to add a new WordPress theme to the website, you'll have to submit a ticket to Canonical by emailing rt@ubuntu.com 21:09 jbicha: oh, that news to me 21:09 I guess this step is a must, correct? 21:12 amjjawad, Canonical host the website, we have no access beyond wordpress admin panel 21:13 I see :( 21:14 #action amjjawad to email Canonical - rt@ubuntu.com in case of adding new theme to Ubuntu GNOME Website 21:14 * meetingology amjjawad to email Canonical - rt@ubuntu.com in case of adding new theme to Ubuntu GNOME Website 21:16 #topic StartUbuntu 21:17 #link https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StartUbuntu 21:17 darkxst: jbicha not sure if you guys have seen my other project? which is not a personal project but rather a community project right now that some people are involved and helping 21:18 I'd like for Ubuntu GNOME to play a role on that project and I have asked Rafael, Lubuntu Artwork Team Leader who is so good friend of mine and teammate to work on some nice artwork that you can see on the Wiki Page :) 21:18 and, Ubuntu GNOME is there ;) 21:20 nice! 21:21 :) 21:22 final note, Facebook and Google+ Pages are having more and more activities and subscribers :) I am not dreaming of Ubuntu GNOME every night :P 21:23 amjjawad, great! 21:23 I am enjoying it but it sure adds so much tasks for me so once I will find more contributors, maybe they can also help with this area.
