UBT will always be the umbrella group that that any padawan seeks, after that they may go onto apply for full ubuntu membership.

This team is now deprecated. Official announcement about the team's closure can be found here.

Steps to Add New Member to Team

These steps are to be performed after a Prospective Member is voted to become a member of the Ubuntu Beginners Team at a meeting.

  1. Grant the user voice in #ubuntu-beginners: /msg ChanServ FLAGS #ubuntu-beginners <NICK> +VA

  2. Add the user to ~ubuntu-beginners on Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-beginners/+addmember (Be sure to verify their Launchpad name either on IRC or by checking their wiki or forums profile)

Steps to Schedule Next Meeting

These steps are to be performed after each meeting to ensure that all locations that mention the date of the next meeting are up-to-date

  1. Determine a date and time for the next meeting. Meetings normally happen every other Tuesday at 23:00 UTC in #ubuntu-meeting. The date/time can change to accommodate daylight savings time, major holidays, or other events that might prevent a large number of people from attending. If a different time is used for the meeting, be sure to check the Fridge and verify that there isn't a meeting already scheduled for that time. If there is, the meeting might need to be held in #ubuntu-beginners instead of #ubuntu-meeting.

  2. Update the /topic in #ubuntu-beginners to reflect the date/time of the next meeting
  3. Update the wiki header. Be sure to update the timeanddate.com link url as well as the link text.

  4. Verify that the Fridge has the correct information for the upcoming meeting. If it does not have the correct information, remove the incorrect event, and add a new event with the correct information.

Focus Group Meetings

To shorten the monthly team meetings, setup meetings for each Focus Group:

Can people please put meeting times in UTC (GMT isn't the same!) at least, as we are all in different time-zones
