The terms of four members of the Developer Membership Board will expire on 15 June, and a further member has stepped down. This is a call for nominations to fill five out of seven seats.
The DMB is responsible for reviewing and approving new Ubuntu developers [1]. Candidates must be Ubuntu Core Developers or MOTU[2], and should be well qualified to evaluate prospective Ubuntu developers and decide when to entrust them with developer privileges or to grant them Ubuntu membership status. Candidates must expect to be able to attend the majority of DMB meetings. Currently these take place on IRC[3], are scheduled on alternate Mondays with each meeting alternating between 1600 UTC and 1900 UTC, and last around an hour. Meeting times can be negotiated and adjusted by board members as needed. The new members shall be chosen using Condorcet voting. Members of the ubuntu-dev team in Launchpad shall be eligible to vote. To ensure that you receive a ballot in the initial mail, please ensure that a visible email address exists on your Launchpad profile (although there will be an opportunity to receive a ballot after the vote has started if you do not wish to do this). The term of the four highest ranked new board members shall be approximately two years. To keep the terms appropriately staggered, the term of the fifth ranked new board member shall be approximately one year. Providing at least six valid nominations are received, voting shall commence on 2025-06-12 and shall last for approximately seven days, ending on or around 2025-06-19. Please send nominations to developer-membership-board at lists.ubuntu.com (which is a private mailing list accessible only by DMB members) by the end (in UTC) of 2025-06-05. If nominating a developer other than yourself, please confirm that the nominee is happy to sit on the board before emailing the DMB. If nominated, please consider writing a short statement on your wiki page so that others get a better idea of for whom they are voting. If you include a link to your statement in your nomination mail or in a followup, it will be shared when the candidates are announced. This call for nominations is being sent to a moderated announcement mailing list. For discussion, Ubuntu developers should use ubuntu-devel at lists.ubuntu.com.
