This means working on simplifying the user's life, while focusing on advanced features, rock-solid stability, and high performance. We want Ubuntu Server to be the '''best''' operating system for both deploying the cloud and other [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalability#Scale_horizontally_.28scale_out.29|scale-out]] services (e.g. hadoop), and running in the cloud (be them public or private).
Line 3: Line 9:
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. Seems exciting ?

=== Goals ===

 * 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.

=== Issues ===
 
Ubuntu is a desktop system common perception, how to change?

 * Education, Documentation: Ubuntu as a router, web/nfd/Samba/print/mail/http/content/telephony server.
 * Tools: make server bleeding edge available to skilled admins, make everybody a skilled admin in the future with easier tools and the right interfaces.
 * Marketing : Talk about how Ubuntu is already integrating nicely in hetrogeneous networks. (i.e. win/novell/linux/sun ...)
 * Special editions : Ubuntu Internet Server, Ubuntu Telephony Platform, Ubuntu LAN Server , Ubuntu DevHub Server ....

=== People ===

 * SivanGreen (documentation, planning, testing)
 * JeffBailey
 * Ghe Rivero

== Other Ideas ==

=== Ubuntu DevelopersHub Server Edition ===

 * Specially tailored Ubuntu Operating System for scattered and localized development groups. (docs,code,design)
 * Out of the box ready with:
         * Groupware Software (phpgroupware, [http://freshmeat.net/projects/worldpilot/ worldpilot] may already include some of the mentioned features)
         * Inner organization IM messaging solution.
         * Bug reporting and tracking solution.
         * Development ready (gcc, chroots, eclipse, wing etc..)
         * Intranet web, application and wiki server.
         * Remote administration ready. (swat, webmin etc..)
