Quotes
Every contributor to the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter is a volunteer with a passion for Ubuntu, and it’s quite a small team.
In their free time, these volunteers work to collect news articles they find, write up summaries, edit and release the newsletter nearly every week.
Do you appreciate the work of the team? Would there be a void in your ability to keep up with Ubuntu if UWN didn’t exist? Do you eagerly await getting to read the newsletter each week?
Tell them!
The following form has been created to collect thanks:
Send your thanks to Ubuntu Weekly News contributors
Your quote may end up in the 500th issue of the newsletter, and all suitable responses will be shared with the public ubuntu-news-team mailing list so that contributors can see your gratitude.
