Hi! With great trust and joy I'm transferring, with authority from Ubuntu Finland's bi/tri-weekly meeting [1], Ubuntu Finland's Team Contact job to my successor, Jussi Kekkonen (Tm_T on IRC). He has been within Ubuntu Finland from the beginning, and has been active both locally and internationally in various activities - this is an especially good aspect about him, since many people in the broader Ubuntu community already know him as well.
[1] http://wiki.ubuntu-fi.org/Yhteis%C3%B6n_kokous - today's log will appear soon linked in the bottom part of the page For my part, I have expressed my willingness to give out some of my Ubuntu-related duties for some time already. I founded Ubuntu Finland in 2005 (approval meeting 19 Feb 2005) and these 5.5 years have been both great but also cannot and shouldn't continue forever without changes. During that we've come a long way from "maybe I'll set up this forum thing and see if it's of any use to anyone" (now > 250 000 messages). We have won Linux Maker of the year award [2], sent Ubuntu + information about free software to all members of parliament [3], had a great many release parties (lucid [4]) with nice attendance and a lot of other things.
