The Community Council has concluded that we need a new evaluation of the Ubuntu Local Communities project (https://loco.ubuntu.com) itself and this should be done by a Local Communities Research Committee.
You can read the thoughts behind this call and what we are looking for on the Community Hub:
If you think you can and want to make a contribution to Ubuntu here, please send your nomination to community-council at lists.ubuntu.com.
Nominations are now open and will close on Saturday, February 6, 2021 23:59 UTC. After that, the Community Council will review the submissions and appoint the Local Communities Research Committee.
For that matter, there are several other lists missing, such as the Lubuntu, Kubuntu, IRC, Local Communities and Forum Councils, not to mention the Technical Board and the Developer Membership Board. The Membership Board appears to be the one example of the governance structure that is there. Maybe this is intentional?
I can say, given that there are other mailing lists servers serving up pages in a similar format, I’m confident this page is really only stylized by Ubuntu rather than being customized. I would expect it to list all lists but I guess that’s not the case. Maybe there’s a Mailman setting I’m not familiar with?
I think I now understand what @diogoconstantino’s reply was based on. I took it in a different way. The issue here is not that the information is not there, but that it’s displayed in a somewhat confusing way by Discourse. To quote the original message:
That’s a lot like saying my email is wxl at ubuntu.com. I hope that clarifies things.
A few applications have already been received. Thank you very much for that. We decided in our last meeting of the Ubuntu Community Council that the deadline for applications would be extended by two weeks so that more applications can be received for this important topic.
Nominations are still open and will close on Saturday, February 6, 2021 23:59 UTC. After that, the Community Council will review the submissions and appoint the Local Communities Research Committee.
The call for nomination will close on Saturday, February 6 23:59 UTC.
At the moment we have no nominations from people of the region Africa and Oceania. We would very much appreciate nominations from these regions so that we have nominations for the Local Communities Research Committee from all parts of the world.
There are some very good nominations among them. Thank you for the nominations.
Unfortunately, it will take a few more days until we have the results. I ask for a little patience, especially for the candidates who surely already have good ideas.
This is a wonderful group, and thank you so much for organizing this initiative and thank you in advance to the members of the research committee for doing this valuable work! Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me if there’s anything I can do to make this challenge less challenging.
