@Kingsly.. Let me put it straight.. I was not telling I am contributing to Gobuntu.. I was just saying Its based on the Gobuntu Idea with support for major Indian Languages.. Let me put these questions to you: Do you contribute to ubuntu actively enough? If yes.. Show me your Launchpad page with any sort of contribution.. If no, why dont you open up a page and start active contribution rather than finding holes in doughnuts..? If you decide not to contribute then tell me the reason as to why are you here with a ton of criticisms for whatever the others do? If you tell you are under work pressure cant do it on a regular basis I will show you a number of examples in our community who are working but still actively contributing to debian and ubuntu in whichever way they can.. Lastly, Dont flame, If you dont have the time on your hands to contribute.. Please let interested people contribute. -- Bhavani Shankar.R https://launchpad.net/~bhavi, a proud ubuntu community member.
