Comment 1 for bug 77591

Thanks for your report. Your idea might get more attention and have the possibility of being implemented if you would submit a specification for this. I suggest being a bit more specific about how exactly the message is to appear... for example, should holidays get preloaded in some sort of a calendaring application (e.g. Evolution) and pop-up automatically somehow? Should a separate application be written for this purpose? Should the feature to only being available under X (the GUI)?

You should first check whether it already exists at the Ubuntu specs page (https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+specs) in Launchpad. If that is the case, please feel free to contact the drafter of that spec about your comments/suggestions. Otherwise you can start writing a spec following the steps described here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FeatureSpecifications

Thanks very much for taking your time to submit this bug report and my best wishes to you for the holiday season!
