  1. Coordinate meeting times and ensure that these are published on the Fridge calendar.
  2. Add successful membership candidates to the Launchpad group.

  3. Report successful membership candidates to the UbuntuWeeklyNews and add a short summary for each member (which should be taken from the candidate's personal wikipage).
