Hello, Some time ago there were some, ahem, vigorous threads on ubuntu-devel about various aspects of the developer membership processes.
One aspect which the DMB would like to lead an effort to improve, in consultation with the wider developer body, is the Ubuntu Contributing Developer status. This is a way for individuals to gain project membership by way of their contributions to Ubuntu development. It confers no upload powers and no additional rights or responsibilities beyond those of any other Ubuntu member. Please visit the page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopers#Ubuntu_Contributing_Developers to see our current documentation about what an Ubuntu Contributing Developer is. Now, to the questions - Is the current documentation clear enough about what one must do to become a contributing developer? - Is the name Ubuntu Contributing Developer itself clear enough? Does it communicate the fact that this is “only” a way of getting project membership? - In general, are we clear enough about the fact that upload access is /not/ a linear progression? i.e. if an individual wishes to apply for one team there is no requirement to go through any other. Remember, the page linked above is on a wiki so please be bold and make improvememnts when you can see opportunity to do so. Concrete suggestions for improvements are preferred. :-) Regards, -- Iain Lane [ i...@orangesquash.org.uk ] Debian Developer [ la...@debian.org ] Ubuntu Developer [ la...@ubuntu.com ] PhD student [ i...@cs.nott.ac.uk ]
