ApplicationProcess
Applying for team membership
To become a Contributing Developer, per-package uploader, or Core Developer, you must apply to the Developer Membership Board, via the following process:
Set up a personal wiki page for your application. Please make use of 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.
Send an announcement of your application to the devel-permissions mailing list and 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. Please allow at least one week between the announcement of your application and the meeting at which the application is 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 wiki page in question or ask questions 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.
