Edubuntu Members
The Edubuntu Members are a group of individuals who have made sustained and significant contributions - of any form - to Edubuntu.
The individuals wanting to become Edubuntu members are required to meet the criteria described below prior to applying or they will be automatically declined. Leaders for subteams can be appointed from this team. The Edubuntu Members team is moderated by the council.
Becoming and staying a member
To be accepted as an Edubuntu member, applicants participants must demonstrate their motivation and ability to contribute to Edubuntu. This is to ensure that any Edubuntu team member has a sufficient understanding of the Edubuntu community and its operation. The different steps one must go through will also indicate that the candidate member is able to work within the guidelines, and more important, with other people and communities. To become a member, one must:
- Commit meaningful contributions to one of the subteams, after which one can be approved to the subteam for “probation” by a subteam administrator
- Demonstrate motivation to contribute perpetually, after which one can be approved to become an Edubuntu member.
- Must be approved by a unanimous decison of the Edubuntu Council, which is currently comprised of two members, otherwise it cannot reach quorum. If there is not a unanimous consensus, one may then apply through the regular Ubuntu Membership process if they still feel they have sustained and siginificant contributions to Ubuntu as a whole.
To stay a member of Edubuntu, the member will have to have desire to continue contributing in the future. Anyone with no contributions for more than a complete cycle (6 months) should deactivate themself from the team as well as all subteams and reapply if/when they are willing to rejoin. The team administrators should purge people with no contributions in more than 6 months from the teams occasionally.
