Hello

Following the success of the Ubuntu flavor sync meetings, we are starting Ubuntu governance sync meetings in 2025. These meetings will serve as a baseline for collaboration and coordination across all the Ubuntu community governance bodies. To keep a familiar format and a schedule that works well across time zones, we are going to use the same framework of the Ubuntu flavor sync meetings.

Meeting details

  • Governance sync meetings aim to encourage Ubuntu governance bodies to share resources, ideas, and frameworks. Representatives of Ubuntu governance bodies are invited to join and contribute to the continuous improvement of the Ubuntu community.
  • This meeting is not the sole venue for discussion. Having recurring virtual meetings helps us move things faster, build relationships, and foster collaboration.
  • We want to encourage everyone present to speak up; therefore, we are not streaming or recording any governance sync meetings.
  • One week before the meeting, the Canonical Community Team will send a reminder via Matrix to each governance room and via email to all governance bodies.
  • After each meeting, highlights will be posted on the Ubuntu Discourse. For easier filtering, all reports are posted in the category “Community” and tagged with “governance” and “meeting-report”. This custom filter can be used to list all governance sync meetings.
  • If additional sessions are required to discuss urgent issues, please reach out to the Canonical community team here on Discourse (@Community-Team), on the Community Team Matrix room, or via email.
