Ubuntu Wiki

Welcome to the realm of the Masters of the Universe!

Masters of the Universe are the brave souls who try to keep your universe in shape. If you want to suggest a package, go to: UniverseCandidates.

A Master of the Universe leads a team of universe maintainers who have upload privileges and maintain packages that are kept in the universe area of ubuntu. There are about 15000 packages to care for in Hoary's universe, so if you are interested in maintaining a package for universe and have made your way through the New Member process of Ubuntu, go on and grab it (if nobody else cares for it already, else you could help him/her to keep it in shape).

To see how to become a universe maintainer, see the MOTURecruitment page below. After reading a bit about our project, you can also get in touch with the MOTU staff by joining #ubuntu-motu on irc.freenode.net.
