Luis, for shame, with your top-posting. :P I have had a small chat w/Eric on IRC a week or so ago regarding this. I welcome anyone stepping into this position as long as they can maintain the usual high-quality. If not, the very least we can do is use Olis's latest wallpaper: http://olisstudios.deviantart.com/art/Ubuntu-Studio-III-123521792 On a personal note, I *might* be returning to my home state in 6 weeks for a job there. (I've been working 2 states away from the family) If things work out, I hope to return to active involvement on the next cycle. (in whatever capacity Studio might exist) Rock on. \m/ -Cory K. -- Ubuntu-Studio-devel mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel
