More information available at:

• responsibilities, permissions and more information about Ubuntu Developers

• more general information about Ubuntu Development

The Ubuntu Developer Membership Board operates on the following basis:

• The list of the Developer Membership Board members can be found on Launchpad. The term for DMB membership is 2 years.

• You can reach the board by emailing devel-permissions@lists.ubuntu.com. This mailing list is public (devel-permissions@ archives) and our general process and policy discussions are public; if exceptionally private communication is required, such as discussing the performance of an individual, then use the private list at developer-membership-board@lists.ubuntu.com.

• Or you can discuss developer application matters on IRC at #ubuntu-devel.

Application process

The Ubuntu Developer Membership Board currently approves Contributing Developers (Ubuntu Membership), per-package uploaders, SRU Developers, MOTU and Core Developers. To apply, please follow this process.

The following changes were agreed on:

• devel-permissions@lists.ubuntu.com list will used

• invitations/applications go there as well as to relevant team list
• all approvals go to ubuntu-devel@ (meeting minutes) and devel-permissions@ (individual outcomes) (maybe also to the team list)

The implementation of the application process might vary across teams slightly, but we expect the following very general procedure:

• documentation,
• declaring intent,
• discussion with applicant,
• public announcement
