The Core development team consists of both Canonical and non-Canonical developers. There is a "distro sprint", for a week every release cycle, where mainly Canonical people get together to do development, and a development planning conference at the beginning of each cycle which is very open and Canonical sponsor some attendees. The rest of the time developers are distributed around the world. A lot of Ubuntu development happens around IRC channels (#ubuntu-devel and #ubuntu-motu mainly though most teams have their own channel), also mailing lists are used for some discussion and Launchpad is used for specification and bug tracking.
