Summary

This spec is a placeholder for discussion of the current status and future goals of the Forum Ambassadors team at UDS-Sevilla. We would like feedback of the attendants on possible tasks, scope and policies.

The aim of the Forum Ambassadors team is to improve the communication and integration between the forums and the rest of the community (most importantly, developers).

More About Forum Ambassadors

We have started with a small team of ambassadors focused on a tight scope. Slowly, we will broaden the scope to include everything we've defined in ForumAmbassadors, our blueprint for the team, and make the team bigger.

In this early phase, we will mostly focus on :

• [http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=409519 preparing ideas/specs for UDS]

• [http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=403655 helping with bug reporting]

• we may also be reporting important discussions/bugs/problems to the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter as we encounter them soon.

You can find more information on the structure and goals of our team at [:ForumAmbassadors: our wiki page]. We also have [http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=235 a forum subsection].

For UDS-Sevilla we submitted these specs :

• [https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/ubiquity-forumideas ubiquity-forumideas]

• [https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/gutsy-forumideas gutsy-forumideas]

• [https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/ubuntuforums-ambassadors-discussion ubuntuforums-ambassadors-discussion]

In the phase leading to UDS-Sevilla after the Feisty release, we've also posted [http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=411868 a general guide on contributing to Gutsy], [http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=421256 a document outlining basic feasibility guidelines for user proposals and ideas], and [http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=414355 a short notice] meant to introduce users to the newly changed procedure of requesting new Universe packages.

A detailed "good bug reporting" guide and a Launchpad primer, intended for the great number of forum users who aren't familiar with Launchpad and the bug reporting/management procedures, are in the works.

The most feasible ideas submitted by the community for Gutsy are tracked by the team in ForumAmbassadors/GutsyCommunityIdeas.
