Introduction

Welcome to the Xubuntu Team reporting page. Every month this page should be filled with bullet points indicating the summary of some of the work you have been working on. As you work on something, try to summarise it here. A few guidelines for how to write good points here:

  • Keep it simple and short - single sentences are best;
  • Try to summarise your work and not be over-detailed; and
  • Where possible, include relevant links.

You should get all your reporting included here by the 22nd of every month.
