Joining
Joining the Team
Joining the team is a fairly easy process, provided that you have patience.
Joining Stages
The various stages of joining the team are stated below.
Seed
A seed is a person wanting to join the team but have not yet met the requirements to advance to the seedling status, set forth later in this page.
If you match the above description, then go ahead and add yourself to the list of Seeds to let us know that you're interested in being a part of the team.
Seedling
A seedling is a person that has matched or exceeded the requirements stated below and is waiting to be voted on at our next team meeting.
Seedlings must:
Abide by the rules defined on the page Rules
- Have a light to moderate understanding of Ubuntu and Linux in general;
- Be an active participant in the team for at least a month;
- You can be active in the team by hanging out in our IRC channel, #ubuntuforums-unanswered on irc.freenode.net. Get to know some of the existing members, we don't bite :). This will also help you get a feel for how the team is structured and how it works internally.
- Have around 300+ posts on the Ubuntu Forums;
- Have been registered on the Ubuntu Forums for a while (3-4 months is good);
Be appointed to the "Seedlings" table on our Meetings page by an existing team member (adult);
These requirements may seem a little daunting to people wanting to join the team, but they are as such to deter people just wanting to "collect icons" (people with no interest in the team itself - just wanting the status).
Adult
Adults are people that have passed the joining process and are now full team members. Adults have voice in our primary IRC channel, are members of the main team Launchpad group, and can join the Ubuntu Forums team group.
Got a question?
If you have any questions about the joining process, feel free to ask the team in our IRC channel or launch an email off to one of the team leaders.
