Mailing list

Developer list moderation

Since the developer list is meant exclusively for development coordination, people who send inappropriate mails to the list will eventually receive a moderation flag. The process is as following:

1. User sends an inappropriate message to the list
2. Any moderator sends a private mail to them (and CC's -owner) explaining the situation and that they should not send further inappropriate messages to the list
3. User sends another inappropriate message to the list
4. (Ideally the same) moderator follows up with -owner to get a moderation flag added to the user.
5. A list owner adds a moderation flag for the user; after this, all messages from the user need to be manually approved. List owners can drop the moderation flag discretly if it seems the user improves mail quality after getting the moderation flag.

Meetings

Meeting chairs

The community meetings are held in #xubuntu-devel and chaired by the Xubuntu team leads. The chairing team leader is cycled based on the team name. The actual upcoming chair list can be found in the comments of the Meetings page.

The chair is responsible for scheduling and announcing the meeting on the development mailing list, and for updating the wiki with the meeting time.

During any of the sections in the meeting, the chair can assign action items to individuals or teams with their permission. The chair should take care to copy these items to blueprint work items where applicable.

Meeting minutes

The team minutes will need to be added to the wiki after the meeting has ended. To do this, go to Xubuntu/Meetings/Archive/Minutes and use the input box for creating a minutes page. You will get the content for the page directly from meetingologys Moin output URL.

After you have created a minutes page, don't forget to update the Include in Xubuntu/Meetings as well as copy items marked with #done to the monthly team report at Xubuntu/TeamReports.

Project Lead nominee information

• A brief history of the nominee in the FOSS world
• Activities in any relevant teams
• Thoughts about the Xubuntu development, including the biggest challenges and possibilities
• Areas of interest as a XPL, including any changes the nominee is wishing to see in the team
