Teams
The Edubuntu development community is structured around Launchpad teams (here is a list). These teams are responsible for looking after the Edubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu and Ubuntu projects and the related products or activities within them. To get involved, join one of the teams.
The team members will help you grasp the ins and outs of contributing to Edubuntu. Some teams have special requirements to be able to join them. This will all be explained when you request to join a team. Don't hesitate - the teams are welcoming people like you.
More info about how teams work, and how Edubuntu teams relate to the larger Ubuntu Community, can be found here.
This page gives an overview of the relevant Launchpad teams, projects and products. Notes ( marked with ) are included where proposals for changes have been made.
Edubuntu Users is an OPEN group, anyone can join right away!
Primary Edubuntu Teams
Edubuntu Members
The Edubuntu Members are people who have demonstrated a significant and sustained contribution to Edubuntu and education in Ubuntu. Edubuntu Membership gives an @edubuntu.org email alias and Ubuntu Membership. Edubuntu members may aggregate their blogs to Planet Ubuntu.
Edubuntu Council
The Edubuntu Council are people elected by the Edubuntu Members to oversee the Edubuntu community and approve Edubuntu Membership applications. The Edubuntu Council also acts as the release team for Edubuntu and so takes technical decisions for the release to come, work on release announcements and update the website.
Edubuntu Developers
The Edubuntu Developers are Edubuntu Members who desire to work on packaging and have shown that they are unlikely to cause problems with any of the Edubuntu packages. They collaboratively work on the packaging of Edubuntu's software with other members but do not necessarily have upload permission.
Edubuntu Bugsquad
The Edubuntu Bugsquad is a bug triage and tracking team. Members of this team help to ensure that bugs have enough information to act on and are given proper priorities and are automatically subscribed to Edubuntu bugs. This is an entry-level working team that all interested parties are welcome to join.
Edubuntu Documentation
The Edubuntu Documentation team works on the documentation relating to Edubuntu. This covers several different areas including system documentation, Help Wiki and Team Wiki. This team is a member of the larger Ubuntu Documentation Project Team. The Edubuntu Documentation team is also responsible for the Edubuntu website.
Edubuntu Artwork
Edubuntu's artwork is done through the Ubuntu Artwork team. (So do we need this team then? -LaserJock)

Should this team should either become a member of the Ubuntu Marketing Team or merge into it?
Edubuntu Handbook Contributors
The Edubuntu Handbook is intended to be a gentle introduction for non-technical users to installing, configuring and, most importantly, using Edubuntu. In addition, we hope that the Handbook will grow to be an invaluable reference for new and intermediate users. See https://launchpad.net/products/edubuntu-cookbook for more info. Members of this team have contributed in some significant way to the Edubuntu Handbook (formerly "How To Cook Edubuntu").
