Focus Groups

Many members of the team contribute to the community in different ways. Focus Groups allow team members to direct their efforts in different areas of Ubuntu community. We also use Focus Groups to help keep the team organized and running smoothly.

IRC

IRC is a great way for for a global team, like the Beginners Team, to communicate. In our different channels we take care of team business, help users, or just get to know each other better. Please read BeginnersTeam/IRC for channel guidelines.

If you do not have an IRC Client or are brand new to IRC you can quickly and easily sign on to our team channel here.
