Ubuntu Platform Team

The Ubuntu Platform Team is responsible for delivering the core Ubuntu system, which is common to the whole Ubuntu family of products and services. The Ubuntu platform is the rock upon which we base all other Ubuntu technology, and is a usable, high-quality desktop operating system in its own right for users around the world. It strives to be the best free software platform in existence.

Our platform is built from many component projects, most of which are built by free software developers around the world. We select the best available packages for the job, and mould them into a clean, free, well-integrated system, making changes where required to meet our high standards of quality and ease of use. We work with developers in the free software community to support their interests as well as Ubuntu's.

Specific areas that the Platform Team is responsible for currently include, in no particular order:

  • Maintenance of central package infrastructure such as the Ubuntu archive and seeds
  • The bulk of merging changes from Debian at the start of each release cycle
  • The toolchain (compiler, C library, etc.)
  • X.org
  • The Ubuntu desktop infrastructure (the GNOME platform and the standard suite of desktop applications)
  • Support for a wide variety of human languages and input methods
  • Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird
  • OpenOffice.org

  • The installers and CD images
