Teams

The Edubuntu development community is structured around Launchpad teams (here is a list). These teams are responsible for looking after the Edubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu and Ubuntu projects and the related products or activities within them. To get involved, join one of the teams.

The team members will help you grasp the ins and outs of contributing to Edubuntu. Some teams have special requirements to be able to join them. This will all be explained when you request to join a team. Don't hesitate - the teams are welcoming people like you.

More info about how teams work, and how Edubuntu teams relate to the larger Ubuntu Community, can be found here.

This page gives an overview of the relevant Launchpad teams, projects and products. Notes ( marked with (i) ) are included where proposals for changes have been made.

(i) Edubuntu Users is an OPEN group, anyone can join right away!
