| The server team, under the able stewardship of Thom "I Bleed For Servers" May, aims to ensure that Ubuntu installs cleanly on data-center grade servers from all major manufacturers. While linux support for server hardware is now generally excellent, the servers themselves often present unusual challenges for the installer. Team Leader: Thom May. | The [http://launchpad.net/people/ubuntu-server Ubuntu Server team], under the able stewardship of Fabio "I'm going to make him an offer he can't refuse" Massimo di Nitto, is working to make Ubuntu Server the best Linux server platform on the market. This means working on simplifying the system administrator's life, while focusing on advanced features, rock-solid stability, and high performance. We want Ubuntu Server to be an attractive platform for the entire range of servers -- from makeshift, converted desktop machines, to carrier-grade server hardware. While our install CD already comes with an option to install a LAMP server, thus satisfying the most common use case, we're working on incorporating clustering and virtualization technologies for the higher end, and are developing software for simplified management of many Ubuntu servers. |

| * Make Ubuntu first class general purpose server platform, with special emphasis on ease of use for the admin. * Diversify even more range of hardware platforms Ubuntu could use as a server system on. * Make sure Ubuntu servers scale nicely with workload. * Make Ubuntu an attractive server platform for orgs and coprporations. * Bring ubuntu to the state which allows it to seemingly assimilate in clustering environments. |
Thanks for your interest. We look for a history of sustained contribution to Ubuntu Server in potential new team members -- luckily, it's easy to get involved. |
