| 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. Focus Groups are for practical purposes umbrellas, they have a POC(lead person) who coordinates that group. They will contain sub-groups or interest areas... or experts in a certain area that is under that group. ||<tablestyle="width:100%; background:#592441; color:#F1F1DD; margin: 1em 0em 0em 0em;">Title || IRC Channels on freenode network || Brief Description || ||<rowstyle="background:#F4F3F1; color:#000000"> '''[[BeginnersTeam/FocusGroups| Focus Groups]]''' || - || || ||<rowstyle="background:#F4F3F1; color:#000000"> [[BeginnersTeam/FocusGroups/Support| User Support]] || #ubuntu-beginners || Provide support for Ubuntu users. || ||<rowstyle="background:#F4F3F1; color:#000000"> [[BeginnersTeam/FocusGroups/Docs| Documentation]] || #ubuntu-beginners-wiki || Contribute to the Ubuntu Community Wiki and System Documentation. || ||<rowstyle="background:#F4F3F1; color:#000000"> [[BeginnersTeam/FocusGroups/Bugs| Bugs]] || #ubuntu-beginners-launchpad || Help assess bugs to determine if they have enough information and assign a priority || ||<rowstyle="background:#F4F3F1; color:#000000"> [[BeginnersTeam/FocusGroups/Development| Development]] || #ubuntu-beginners-dev || FLOSS/FOSS Programming and software development. || In rare cases we may form a separate Focus Group: * if there is enough interest * and large enough group of people show interest in that area * and an existing team that requests that FG to be created note: it will take all three of those to happen |
