Hello! Sorry I have been absent, I have been on holidays with little access to the Internet (yay!). I think we should collect a list of people that want to actively participate and their time zones, so we can coordinate tasks and pick a meeting time that works for most of us. So, I have created the simplest wiki page so we can put a list of people and timezones: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuLGBT Feel free to add your names there if interested, and we can start planning a meeting and potential tasks. This is going to be fun! (and hopefully useful) Cheers, Ara. > > Regards, > Torsten > > > 2013/9/17 Ara Pulido <a...@ubuntu.com <mailto:a...@ubuntu.com>> > > > > On 17/09/13 04:19, Shannon Lucas wrote: > >> Shannon, do you know what the drupal group does?
