How to Contribute

Right now the basic way to contribute to this team is to help us with the critical mass of getting it off the ground. Please join the Launchpad group and sign up for the mailing list. After the first meeting we will have an idea of where everybody wants this team to go.

Projects

Project #1 Build the Team!

In addition to that obvious Project #1, we have a few more ideas of activities we want to get off the ground (#2 and #3). If you have any ideas with respect to those or for new projects, let us know!

Project #2 Computer Recycling/Donating:

• Recycling planning [:/Recycling:page]

Project #3 Gutsy Release Party/Install Fest

Launchpad Membership Policy

Very simple, request to join and you will be approved.

When you apply for membership for the team on Launchpad, please either have a public email on your Launchpad account, or join the [https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/Ubuntu-us-mi mailing list]. This is because, at this point in time, there is no function for the group leader to contact all Launchpad group members.
