Introduction

Focus Groups exist to allow team members to get more involved in the Ubuntu community - visit their pages for more information. Some groups are more focused on the support topics inside the forums, while others aim for involvement through other mediums. If you are needing help or have questions, please contact a group leader and they will provide the best information that will benefit what you're looking for.

Team members. please add yourself to the Forums team (since that is all of us), and to any Focus Group that you would like. Only link to your UF profile from the Forums category - other links should be relevant to the topic or non-existent if not applicable.

A listing of all BT members can be found here on the forums.

Development

Group Description

The Ubuntu Beginners Development Team is a sub-team of the Ubuntu Beginners Team. The main goal of the Development Focus Group is twofold. The first is to create an environment where Beginners Team members can program in a relaxed setting with people they know very well. The second goal is to leverage the talent to create applications that enhance the new user's experience with Ubuntu. The Development team requires a very strict skill set, one of the more difficult focus groups to become a full member in.
