Meeting Summaries

Ubuntu Technical Board meeting, 2008-06-03

Ubuntu Core Developer application from Till Kamppeter

The MOTU council recommended Till Kamppeter for membership in the core development team:

https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/motu-council/2008-May/001100.html

In the course of the interview, it was agreed that more limited access privileges would be sufficient and appropriate for Till to continue his work on printing in Ubuntu.

launchpad does not yet provide this type of fine-grained access control, but it is expected in the near future. As such, the board resolved to grant Till membership in ubuntu-core-dev, to be transitioned to the new mechanism once it becomes available. In the meantime, Till agreed to voluntarily limit his use of ubuntu-core-dev privileges to the relevant set of packages (to be agreed with the board separately).

Ubuntu Core Developer application from Jamie Strandboge

The MOTU council recommended Jamie Strandboge for membership in the core development team:

The board approved Jamie's application and welcomed him to the core development team.
