Jim, thanks for writing this up. I was supposed to do that but Cody and I
couldn't get the Gobby connection up last night, so I wanted to do it today,
but I just arrived home and saw you had already done so.
I think this needs a little more emphasis:
19:40 <jono> 3) agreed that cody-somerville will develop a strategy
based on that mission statement
Those general goals were just that, *general* goals. No priority is assigned
to one issue over the other, it's just that all of these were considered
good points to focus on with Xubuntu.
Thanks,

If you could set up objective benchmarking tools, I think the Xubuntu
project could greatly benefit.
For now I think we should wait for Cody to come up with a strategy and the
following meeting, but this could be extremely useful.
Cheers, and again, congrats to Cody,
