Hi All, In talks with Mathiaz and others we were discussing better integration within the ubuntu community, to raise the prominence/awareness of the team as well as the involvement of new members and the community at large.
One of the topics raised was the official ubuntu forums, there were two items which were discussed. 1. A forum sticky page that gave general information about the Ubuntu Server Team in the "Servers & Security" forum. 2. Splitting the forum and moving its location. Currently the "Servers & Security" is listed as a "Other Community Discussions". The split would make a specific "Server Environments" forum, listed in the "Main Support Categories" and "Security" remaining in the "Other Community Discussions". The forum council has agreed to give us a sticky post in the "Servers & Security" forum as it exists now and are discussing the forum split, I will update the team at the next meeting regarding that. -- Below is the 2nd draft of the proposed forum sticky for information about the server team. The goal is to provide sufficient and relevant information about the Ubuntu Server Team without creating another place which we have to actively update (we have a wiki, that is what we'll use). Therefore any additions below should reflect generalized information. The second goal was to raise the awareness of the team to the community through the forum, to attract new members and to bridge support needs back into the team, as we are the relevant community for it. So, please take a look at the below and offer back relevant comments and ideas you think belong to such a post. Backgroud: Welcome to the Ubuntu Server Team Community, the group comprises many different roles and experience levels, some speciliazed or package specific and some general such as overall support. As team, we are dedicated to providing support and development for the Ubuntu Server Edition. This includes bug-fixes, triaging, packaging, hardware support, server software support and configuration support for all releases.
