I notice some of the magazines are beginning to cover some distros. It would be a feather in the project's cap to get some stories on Lubuntu, even evaluation. > Definitely, the more people will start using Lubuntu and know about it, the > more Devs and Testers may join.

Now is a very good time for people to try Lubuntu, especially those in departments needing to leave XP. There are several reasons for that. One is that there is time to test and not be in a hurry. Second, there is time to get the feel for the development cycle. And last, related to that, there is possibly a chance to make some minor adjustments before 14.04 is published. > Anyway, just to let you know, I'm contacting the mastermind behind the idea > of giving away 2000 CDs of Lubuntu in Munich :) > Out of 2000, if we could found 2 Devs and 8 testers (Minimum), that would > be super great. Also subscribers to the Users' list and to the Forums would be great. New users are often the best to help even newer users because they are familiar with the perspective and way of thinking. So if we could add to the Users' list and Forums subscriptions, that would be great.
