Developer Membership Board agenda¶
Note
Do we want to include this page? It will likely go out of date quickly unless we can auto-generate it.
Would a wiki page on Discourse be a better approach, to mirror the Ubuntu Membership application process?
This page records the agenda for the next meeting of the Ubuntu Developer Membership Board (DMB).
How to apply¶
Before putting yourself on the schedule, read this section in its entirety.
See DMB application process for full instructions. This section only describes the administrative matter of arranging your application meeting.
To apply for upload permissions:
Pick a suitable application meeting slot.
It must be at least one week away.
The DMB will consider a maximum of one applicant per meeting regardless of the type of application, so meeting slots that already have an applicant are not available.
Add your name to the agenda below, linking to your application page.
Announce your application and selected meeting date by writing an email to the
devel-permissions@list, which includes:The link to your wiki page application.
The date of your meeting date and a link to the agenda.
Meetings are held fortnightly on Mondays via Google Meet, or on IRC by request
in #ubuntu-meeting on Libera.
