Call for nominations: 2024 Ubuntu Membership Board

We’re looking for motivated people that want to join the Ubuntu Membership Board!

This board reviews and evaluates Ubuntu Membership applications.

Who can apply

The eligibility requirements are

  • Be an Ubuntu Member (preferably for some time)
  • Be committed to attending the membership meetings
  • Be confident that you can evaluate contributions to various parts of our community

Membership application meetings have three time slots: 12:00, 20:00 and 22:00 UTC. Ideally, you can be present at at least two of these time slots.

Additionally, those sitting on membership boards should have a proven track record of activity in the community. They have shown themselves over time to work well with others and display the Ubuntu Code of Conduct’s positive aspects. They should be people who can discern character and evaluate contribution quality without emotion while engaging in an interview/discussion that communicates interest, a welcoming atmosphere, and which is marked by humanity, gentleness, and kindness. Even when they must deny applications, they should do so in such a way that applicants walk away with a sense of hopefulness and a desire to return with a more elaborate application rather than feeling discouraged or hurt.
