Welcome to the realm of the Masters of the Universe!

Masters of the Universe (MOTUs) are the brave souls who try to keep the universe section of Ubuntu in shape. This involves:

  • merging changes from Debian inside Ubuntu packages. For more information, see ["MOTUMerging"].

  • filing and fixing bugs on Ubuntu packages, using [https://launchpad.net/ launchpad]. For more information, see ["MOTUBugFixing"].

  • getting new or updated packages inside Ubuntu. For more information, see ["MOTUNewSoftware"].

Those tasks are done by two categories of Ubuntu enthousiats :

  • MOTUs: Ubuntu members who are granted upload rights to the universe section of Ubuntu.

  • MOTU Hopefuls: People (like you?) just trying to help.

MOTUs and MOTU Hopefuls can be reached:
