General information

The Ubuntu Membership Board is responsible for approving new Ubuntu members. The board meets at 12:00 and 22:00 UTC, please see below for the date of the next meeting.

Before applying for membership, please read and carefully follow the membership guidelines. NOTE: Your personal wiki page should be prepared before you add your application to the agenda, that way it can be read beforehand. Also, make sure to be well prepared, otherwise the meetings will take too much time.

To see the outcome of previous meetings please head over to the Team Reports page.

Each Board should have an appointed secretary, who can vary as often as the board wishes, to carry out the following tasks:

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).

If there is a contentious or disputed membership application, it can be referred to the CommunityCouncil.

The term length of members of the Membership Boards is 2 years.
