When to apply for team membership

It can be difficult to know when you are ready to apply for uploader team membership. Here are some guidelines:

  • There is no minimum number of sponsored uploads into the archive that you need to have. You need to have demonstrated enough previous work to be able to assure your endorsers that you can be trusted with unsupervised upload access to the primary archive.
    • On your application wiki page, you will describe your areas of work. As a guideline, the DMB will expect to see that you have demonstrated competence in at least those areas.
  • At least some of your endorsers should be your (future) peers. If you are applying for upload rights to a package set, for example, we will expect to see your fellow set members providing endorsements.
  • You should have knowledge of the Ubuntu release cycle and processes (for example SRUs)
  • It is nice and probably makes your application easier if you are a part of the development community. Please consider hanging out on IRC and joining in with discussing and helping new contributors.
  • You are encouraged to participate in peer review and to help with the training of new developers. This will help to make your application stronger.

Applying for team membership

To become a Contributing Developer, MOTU, per-package uploader, Core Developer or developer of a delegated team for which the DMB handles applications, you must apply to the Developer Membership Board, via the following process:

  • Create a dedicated wiki page for your application, using the UbuntuDevelopment/DeveloperApplicationTemplate.

  • Ask other developers to endorse your application by adding information to your wiki page. A typical application will have three to five endorsements. Developers who sponsored several uploads for you are good candidates.

  • Announce your application by email to the devel-permissions mailing list. Please allow at least one week between the announcement of your application and the meeting at which the application is considered.

  • Add your name and the team to which you are applying to the Developer Membership Board Agenda for the meeting at which the application is to be considered.

  • Attend the meeting

All members of the development community are welcome to attend and ask questions, add your feedback (even if unsolicited) to the application wiki page or ask questions of an applicant on the devel-permissions mailing list.

The Developer Membership Board will have prepared for the meeting (reviewed the application details, checked a few examples of your work, talked to sponsors, etc.) and ask questions to make sure the applicant qualifies for the team. During the meeting the DMB members will cast their votes and if quorum is reached (4 of 7 currently), will add the applicant to the team or ask to re-apply in due time.
