Here are some ressources to help you get things done.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact other ServerTeam members.

Bug Triager resources

Triaging bugs in Launchpad is coordinated with the BugSquad team:

We don't have a specific bug workflow.

Packager resources

For packaging information, head to the MOTUs, the Master Of The Universe.

We're focusing on server related packages in main and universe.

Server support resources

The server team offers support for server-related questions in #ubuntu-server.

  • The ubotu irc bot makes it easy to share an extensive set of factoids to others in an irc channel. E.g. typing !ask | noobie will cause ubotu to tell noobie that folks should just go ahead and ask their questions. Ubotu can also conveniently show the channel information on bugs and packages. See ubotu for more details.

Tester resources

We coordinate our testing plans in the Server testing section of the Testing project.

New test plans should be defined as new pages below Testing/Server. Example: Testing/Server/MyTestPlan.

ISO testing

Ubuntu Server iso testing follows the process described in Testing/ISO. We focus on testing the ubuntu-server isos. The Iso testing tracker is used to track test results.

You can register with the iso testing tracker and subscribe to the ubuntu server testcases so that you'll be notified whenever a new ubuntu-server iso needs to be tested.

Documentor resources

This area is involved with updating and creating new content for the Ubuntu Server Guide and the community help website. We're working with the DocumentationTeam and focus on server related topics.

Ubuntu Server Guide

The current development version of the Ubuntu Server Guide is located in a bazaar branch (lp:ubuntu-doc) hosted on Launchpad. There is also an html version available online.

Here are the steps to modify the Ubuntu Server Guide and ask the DocumentationTeam to review your changes:

  • Create a directory where you'll put your local working version of the Ubuntu Server Guide: 

$ bzr init-repo --trees --format=dirstate-with-subtree ubuntu-bzr
$ cd ubuntu-doc/
  • Get the ubuntu-doc files that have the latest version of the Ubuntu Server Guide: 

$ bzr branch lp:ubuntu-doc
$ cd ubuntu-doc/

NB: that command can take some time as the whole history of the branch has to be downloaded from Launchpad.

  • Update the Ubuntu Server Guide files using your favorite editor. They can be found in the serverguide/C/ directory.

  • Once your changes are complete, commit them: 

$ bzr ci

And send them to the ubuntu-doc mailing lists with the bzr send command: 

$ bzr send --mail-to=ubuntu-doc@lists.ubuntu.com

Community wiki

  • The WikiGuide has guidelines for contributing to the help website.

  • If help is needed, the ubuntu-doc mailing list and #ubuntu-doc on irc.freenode.net are good places to ask around.

The Ubuntu Team wiki, at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/, is focused on documentation for Ubuntu community contributors rather than for end users

Developer resources

The Ubuntu Team wiki is the central location where Ubuntu developers exchange ideas and track their progress.

Team policy

Membership

The Membership policy is described in Membership.

Reporting

The ServerTeam has a section in the monthly report. We try to get status reports on a weekly basis on the day preceding the IRC meeting. The ReportingPage is used to gather the outcome of the tasks done by the ServerTeam members during the week. Once the IRC meeting is over, the content is merged into the montly report of the ServerTeam - a subpage under ServerTeam/ReportingPage.

The subpage is automatically included in the monthly team report with the following macro:

{{{### Server Team report ### Include(ServerTeam/ReportingPage/2008-03,"Server Team",3,from="## ReportStart", to="## ReportEnd") }}}

Don't forget to change the month in the include macro link when starting a new montly report.

IRC meeting

We hold IRC meeting regularly to report about current tasks and define new ones. The Meeting page presents the Agenda for the next meeting.

MootBot can be used to record the meeting.

irclogs are available on http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/.

Publishing the minutes

Once the meeting is over, minutes are prepared to summarized the outcome of the meeting.

  1. Create a new entry in MeetingLogs/Server/YYYYMMDD with the ServerTeamMeetingLogTemplate.

    1. Move the agenda from ServerTeam/Meeting to agenda section.

    2. Copy the irc logs to the Irc log section.
    3. Write the minutes.

  2. Update ServerTeam/Header to announce the next meeting date.

  3. Send the minutes on the ubuntu-server mailing list.
