Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Ubuntu submit sessions for Lubuntu
Hi, thanks a lot for the info. I am organizing the GNOME.Asia Summit in Vietnam at the moment with core participation of LXDE. So, I am afraid I do not have time to participate remotely. Even though remote participation is generally difficult, I still hope we can push our goals with the help of Paul Liu and Arne Goetje, who I talked to in Taiwan a few days ago. I would like to see a get together of Lighweight Ubuntu developers and LXDE developers. Since most of them are in Asia, it would be best to meet up here. March or April 2010 would be a good time. I hope we can get the support of Canonical for such an event. I am very happy with David Sugar's involvement in lubuntu. He has done a great job involving more people. Still, I would like to support to (also) have an upstream developer of LXDE at Canonical focusing on lubuntu. Paul Liu is a core member of LXDE and is responsible for the LXDE packages in Ubuntu for a long time. As, I see only very few developers of Canonical in Asia. For example here in Vietnam there are a lot of people interested to become l/Ubuntu developers. To make this a success we need face to face developer gatherings and workshops. I hope we can get these ideas to Canonical apart from development goals.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] a suggestion
Hi, yes, I am also having the discussion about browsers. I agree, we need a more lightweight browser. At the moment I have not seen a browser that is convincing. We have talked about this in Taiwan as well, but no solution yet. We need to test suggestions like your one. In Taiwan some said, the best choice might be to take Chrome, maybe the version without the Google data collection functions.

I know it's 'beta' status, but as I've been using it for a long time - since version in which plugins are defaultly on it's perfectly stable, and it's really lightweight and fast :) AND it's becoming quite popular, so I think it'd be better for lubuntu to have a popular browser that many people are familiar with, rather than having some exotic one that very little number of people use ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop Post to : lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
