RE: Lubuntu facebook group
Okay man, I respect your opinion, but It is true that the most of people are on facebook, so if you could, please create an account on facebook, even if it is a fake account with a fake name and no photos, just a ''fake name'' and ok, you could get in on Facebook Lubuntu group and you could see and say your opinion about the future of Lubuntu, you dont have to give your private information to get in touch with lubuntu users, just criate a fake account with fake informations and that is it. No problem anymore! But please get in touch with Lubuntu Facebook Group, it is important for everybody.Thank you!

It is also not free - you pay with your privacy to be part of it, and Facebook wins money from all of this - this is ok for some, but not for all. If it is a closed world group, no matter how many are in there, some are always outside of it. As a matter of principle, I think, the official discussion about free software, such as, Lubuntu should be done outside such closed world solutions. Lubuntu user mail list, wiki, website, ubuntu forums, etc, on the other side, are open to anyone to view. It is ok to have a private Lubuntu user group at your neighborhood (it is easier for some to discuss things directly with their buddies), or one fan group at Facebook (it is easier for some to use Facebook than normal email), and so on, but using it to discuss things that affect all of Lubuntu is imho not ok.

Migrate many micro and small enterprises to Lubuntu in Brazil
Hello, my name is João, Im from Brazil, I like and use Lubuntu.I know that in April, 2014 Microsoft will stop providing updates and support for Windows XP users, so I decided to help many micro and small enterprises (like small businesses, for example: bakeries, restaurants, schools, small offices,...) in Brazil to change to another system and try not download ilegal windows 7 or windows 8 and try not buy a new computer with better CPU and GPU, so Im trying to convince many small businesses companies to migrate to Lubuntu (because it will have 5 years support in 14.04 LTS and of course it is free). But in the other hand, many people are asking me if the system is reliable, who is paying it (because if nobody pays, you have to receive money to continue the system).I didnt know what to answer and it made me think about it: Why doesnt Lubuntu do the same thing that Kubuntu made in the past and look for a company that sponsors (financially) the system? Like Kubuntu is supported financially by Blue Systems (http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kubuntu-to-be-sponsored-by-blue-systems) Other thing that I wanna know about Lubuntu Team: Many small companies have shown interest in migrating to Lubuntu, but they asked me if I could support them, providing support if they had some doubts using the system in the future, I agreed with them, but there are much more companies that me (alone) can support, so I asked them if they would pay for this support (like U$S10~U$S15 per company per 10 computers by month) because with this money I could contract more brazilian employees to help me supporting them, they agreed with it.But I wanna know if Lubuntu Team thinks that it is wrong by myself to ''get money'' supporting Lubuntu company users in Brazil? (Because the system is free, I would only get money for the support, because we have energy tax, potencial employees to pay and others costs) Is it wrong to get money with Lubuntu support or Lubuntu Team doesnt see problem with that? (Im asking it, because I respect so much all people that made Lubuntu and make it until today :D ) Please, I dont like so much to use list.ubuntu.com, because I dont understand so much the interface, so PLEASE if one of you (or many of you) wanna answer this message, send your answer to my email:pinpor...@msn.com my name is João, just put ''Lubuntu'' title on the email message to I know that it is an answer for my original message.
