It was very obviously day 4 at UDS as everyone was moving a bit slower this morning :) – Community Roundtable – We started off the roundtable by identifying subjects for the Leadership Mini-Summit that day and then launched a big discussion about the BuildingCommunity pages.

Applying for Ubuntu Community Council?
September 26th, 2011 by pleia2
On September 15th I sent out the call for nominations to the Community Council. Since then I’ve received questions from several folks in the community about the requirements, duties, responsibilities and time commitment of members of the Community Council.
