In Ubuntu it's important to us to have a good relationship with our Upstream projects and an efficient workflow we both benefit from.

The Upstream namespace on the wiki is all about:

• best practices for collaboration between Ubuntu and Upstream
• giving Upstreams better visibility into what's happening in Ubuntu
• recommendations for engaging and working with an Upstream project
