My sincerest apologies for the late response. Your email gave me a huge smile just like the ones from the other people who have stepped forward lately. :) THANK YOU! <3 Your contributions, however small or big are most welcome! > > My first step was to read the the wiki.

The wiki needs and diserves a lot of work. This would be a great place to begin contributing. I'll see what i can do to accelerate you getting edit permission. I would just need you to sign the Code of conduct of ubuntu before i go ahead with that. https://askubuntu.com/questions/100275/how-do-i-sign-the-ubuntu-code-of-conduct > > Here's my launchpad account: https://launchpad.net/~mikelococo and > you can see it pending approval at > https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-wiki-editors. > > My next goal will be to try to get permission to triage bugs.

I used to know more, but i've kindof lost it. Hoping someone can fill in for me here.... We used to have a contributor with a lot of experience about it, but who prefers communicating over IRC. If you are familiar with that communication protocol, try your luck and see if Krytarik is around in #ubuntustudio-devel. Oven Werks is very good at it too. I don't know how available they are atm though, and we have to respect it if they are busy: life is what it is. And everyone involved is doing it out of pure generosity. Either way, once again, THANK you for stepping forward <3 -- Set Hallstrom aka sakrecoer
