Ciao Andrea, thank you for your post about LXDE and joining up with us. I saw you name on the wiki already (http://wiki.lxde.org/en/Category:Packaging). Would be great to create a team maintaining LXDE in OpenSuse. I met some folks in Singapore, who are interested to join up. Will be at FrOSCon (www.froscon.de)? Would be great to meet up there.
