The Ubuntu Application Review Board is responsible for reviewing and approving proposals for lightweight applications to be distributed in Ubuntu.

The Application Review Board operates on the following basis:

• The Board meets at least every two weeks, on IRC. See the Agenda for more details.

• You can submit an application for review through developer.ubuntu.com.

• The Board can be reached at app-review-board@lists.ubuntu.com. This list is publicly archived; if you wish to raise confidential issues, please mail the members of the Board directly.

• Board meetings are open to all interested parties, but only Board members vote on applications.
• Board members vote +1, -1, or 0 (abstain). Three or more +1 votes mean the application is approved, three or more -1 votes mean the application is rejected.

• Minutes of the meeting will be published immediately after the meeting.
