Developer Membership Board

Note

Page source

By request, I did not bring over the meeting minutes page. The Agenda page may not end up living here, but rather on Discourse (decision pending).

More information available at:

The Ubuntu Developer Membership Board operates on the following basis:

  • The list of Developer Membership Board members can be found on Launchpad. The term for DMB membership is 2 years.

  • You can reach the board by emailing devel-permissions@lists.ubuntu.com. This mailing list is public (devel-permissions@ archives) and our general process and policy discussions are public; if exceptionally private communication is required, such as discussing the performance of an individual, then use the private list at developer-membership-board@lists.ubuntu.com.

  • Or you can discuss developer application matters on IRC at #ubuntu-devel.

Application process

The Ubuntu Developer Membership Board currently approves:

To apply, follow this process.

The following changes were agreed on:

  • devel-permissions@lists.ubuntu.com list will be used.

  • Invitations/applications go there as well as to relevant team lists.

  • All approvals go to ubuntu-devel@ (meeting minutes) and devel-permissions@ (individual outcomes) (maybe also to the team list)

The implementation of the application process might vary across teams slightly, but we expect the following very general procedure:

  • Documentation

  • Declaring intent

  • Discussion with applicant

  • Public announcement
