Hello,

Maybe it would indeed be a good idea to have another meeting about
Ubuntu Wanted. Not only the theme needs attention, but it would also
be a good thing to discuss some other things.
However, if we are going to hold a meeting, we do need some people to
turn up. Last time I tried, no one reacted. Are there people who would
join a meeting? What times would be the best for you?

Regards,
