This shall become the rootlevel page for the ubuntu MOTU team pages.

The idea is to

  • separate the MOTU package maintenance work into subtopics for the different interests that
    • touch a set of packages in universe and
    • can be grouped to concentrate the work in a team rather than to put it on a single maintainers shoulders.
  • be able to better
    • plan transitions
    • discuss needed changes
    • organize work.

MOTU teams should not only be formed by universe maintainers, but also by users and testers who help pointing out packaging bugs or testing package fixes. They should have a teamleader as a single point of contact and may have several subteams.

All teams should work together very tight with their counterpart of the main teams found on this page [http://www.ubuntulinux.org/community/teams on this page]. Strong contact to the according Debian maintainers is highly appreciated.

If you're eager and don't know where, how to start your team: MOTUTeamHowto

The Teams

  • [:MOTUGNOME] gives users the nice, squashy, comfortable GNOME experience, introduces new features, fixes bugs and takes care of the overall GNOME integration
  • [:MOTUSecurity] cares for vulnerabilitys in universe, works together very tight with the main security team
  • [:MOTUPython] guess what this team cares for (this is a subset of the main python team that cares specific for universe packages)
  • [:MOTUAlternateDesktop] caring for alternative windowmanagers in ubuntu universe, subteams for each WM are possible (keeps in contact with the main desktop team)
  • [:MOTU Zope/Plone] zope and plone integration team, a subset of the main server team
