Re: Ubuntu-quality Digest, Vol 67, Issue 34

2013-05-23 Thread Peter Pfeiffer
Not by a long shot!  I'm 68  - and maybe there are even older folks who 
prefer to stay anonymous;-) regarding their age.


IMHO age is not indicative of experience or willingness to achieve.

Before I retired I worked on an internet security team with folks much 
younger than me ( my 2 children were a decade older than the youngest ) 
We ALL benefited from both age and cultural diversity of the team in 
which we all were positive contributors!


Let's all encourage ALL our contributors and have fun while both 
learning and teaching!


Regards,
Pete

Re: [Start Lubuntu] Road Map/Master Plan - version 1.0

Hi, I am interested if we can be a bit more ambitious about it.

For example, if we keep using the word Linux in our communication, we will
keep scaring away the same 90 to 95% of potential users; the non-technical
ones.

We should use Lubuntu or Ubuntu or some other catchy brand that mentions
nothing about Linux.

Google avoids the word Linux in both Android and its Chrome laptops and they
have a few million times the resources we have. So if they cannot make the
brand Linux sound user friendly, I do not think we should waste time and
energy trying to do so. After all, we are trying to get people some fredom,
not compete with the power of mass media head-on.


On my daughters machines, they have Linux (Lubuntu) and windows(7), as
dual boot. They use linux ALMOST ALL THE TIME.
Why? I dont force them (it wouldnt work!) They say it is , because,
LINUX IS SIMPLER TO USE.

Kjetil

Just a suggestion,

Fernando

Hi,

I thought everyone would be interested but I must say, I'm so surprised
that only few are interested.

Anyway, I have updated this page:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/CommunicationsTeam/WOWLubuntu/StartLubuntu

Added Phase 6
and List of members.

Phase 6 will explain how this project is important and it is not only for
Lubuntu, it is for the whole family of Ubuntu :)

After all, if Windows XP Users won't like Lubuntu, there are Ubuntu,
Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Ubuntu GNOME, Ubuntu Studio, Edubuntu, and if someone is
Chines, there is: UbuntuKylin :)

Everything is explained here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/CommunicationsTeam/WOWLubuntu/StartLubuntu

The banner at the top is a summary of what is this all about.
Again, Phase 6 of this project is discussing the need to use the whole
list
of Ubuntu Official Variants.

Why then I did start or pick Lubuntu? because I think most or at least 40%
of Windows XP Users have old machines. Perhaps even more than 40% of them
because usually, modern machines are shipped with Windows 7 and/or Windows
8 :)

Thank you!
