Well hopefully you can gain access to the subreddit. I have just subscribed it and I noticed that there are 8 users currently in there, the last post was 28 days ago! Clearly people want the subreddit, we just need to make it more active.
One way I think we could gain some publicity is to talk to the guys from The Linux Action show, perhaps we can tell them that there is going to be a new leash of life on the r/Lubuntu subreddit, and that the Lubuntu Comms Team are (sort of) going to be the main mods. Also I think telling them about Lubuntu 101 would be a great idea too. I will contact them if everybody thinks it is a good idea so feedback on this idea would be preferred.

From: [email protected] To: [email protected] CC: [email protected]; [email protected] Thanks for the response guys, I don't have a problem with keeping the "official" channels the way they are now. But yes Dan, the more exposure, the better I say. Even if it's just a place to gather, talk about Lubuntu, and show others what this project is all about. As far as the mods go, there is only one right now: rafaellaguna. He has no real activity, so I'm not sure if it's an alternate account for another user or what. The creator of the Lubuntu sub is a guy/gal named kanliot, and they seem pretty active, but it doesn't look like they are a MOD. If I don't hear back from rafaellaguna, I'll try to get access to the sub by declaring it abandoned by the current MODS (there is a process to do this, which I've been a part of for the Mining subreddit). I hope to get some more discussion and activity surrounding Lubuntu this way.

Hello Ben, Thanks a lot for your email and it is great to read from someone on the list and share some ideas over here :D please, keep them coming.Sounds good idea :) For me, I don't have any account on Twitter nor Reddit, just Facebook and Google+ and not planning to expand my Social Networking Activities at the moment because my current projects and activities keep me busy. I would suggest to go for it if you have an account over there. IMHO, let's keep our 'official channels' [1] as they are for the time being but I don't mind to have unofficial sites, etc etc. The more, the better. After all, our mission here is to reach to everyone everywhere :D There is someone I know who have an account on Reddit. His name is Daniel McGuire and he is helping me with some projects like WOW Lubuntu. As far as I remember, his email got hacked and I don't have his Email but we are chatting from time to time on Facebook. I will have a chat with him :) Good luck and thanks again :) [1] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/ContactUs On Mon, Jan 28, 2013 at 9:08 PM, Ben Parrish <[email protected]> wrote: Not sure how many of you are active redditors, but, I figured it may be worth while to get exposure there, as there is quite a sizable linux community there. There is already a subreddit at http://www.reddit.com/r/lubuntu The sub seems to be dormant or dead with only one mod, that doesn't appear to be too active. I've sent him a message to try to get more mods to stimulate discussion there and reenergize the sub. Hopefully I hear back, and then we can add this to our arsenal of communication to get the word out about our favorite distro.
