Cheers from others

(added 45 min before meeting)

Continuing to be related to the ubuntu membership, here I'd gather cheers from others if anyone is awake:

• Yay for Timo! Since I started as the moderator of the Finnish Loco team discussion forums, I got into a job interview to work for COSS. Timo has been a valuable contributor for the Finnish open solutions scene and especially for Ubuntu. --["Myrtti"]
