Community Council Member

You are a member of the Community Council

The Ubuntu Community Council is the primary community (i.e. non-technical) governance body for the Ubuntu Project and as such has an important role and responsibility to the Ubuntu community. The Community Council advises and decides on community policy and process. It is also an escalation body for incidents that occur elsewhere in the Ubuntu community. Members of the Community Council have demonstrated a strong commitment and participation history in Ubuntu, clear leadership skills, and have the time and availability to commit to the needs of the council.

Become an Ubuntu Member. Demonstrate effective and extensive contribution to Ubuntu for a sustained period of time. There is no fixed time period, but this should be long enough to demonstrate your commitment to the project. Amend the wiki page that was created for Ubuntu Membership usually found on <tt>wiki.ubuntu.com</tt> that is up todate and outlines your contributions. In the wiki page include your contributions, describe which teams you are in, and summarize your efforts. When the next Community Council election is announced, nominate yourself as a candidate. Mark Shuttleworth, the Founder of Ubuntu, and also known as sabdfl (self-appointed bebevolent dictator for life) selects the canidates from the list of nominees and puts those forward to be voted on by current Ubuntu Members.

Focus on your leadership abilities. The Community Council is an important leadership position and we look for strong, capable, confident leaders. You should probably have led another team to develop and demonstrate your leadership capabilities before applying to be on the Community Council. Only apply to the Community Council when you have had a significant amount of experience in the community.

Don't apply to the Community Council just to be in a position of power. Try not to be on more than one council (e.g. Community Council, Technical Board) at the same time. Join one, and give it your full attention.

Filed Bug that was Confirmed

Filed a bug in Ubuntu that was confirmed by someone else

A bug is a defect in a piece of software. Filing bugs is a great way to help improve Ubuntu and in order for the bug to be fixed, someone else needs to be able to reproduce and confirm it. The more detailed and precise your bug report is, the most likely it is that it can be reproduced by someone else. This achievement reflects that at least one of your bug reports was of good quality and was confirmed by someone else.

File a bug as you would normally (see the Filed First Bug accomplishments for more details) and ensure that the description is detailed enough to enable others to reproduce it. To write a good bug report, include the following: A clear and concise description of the problem. Don't forget to mention whether the bug can be triggered every time or whether it is intermittent. A set of steps to reproduce the problem. Make sure that they are explicit. For instance, if a step involves selecting a menu item, specify whether selecting it using the mouse or keyboard shortcuts makes a difference. A description of the failure when following those steps. A description of what you expected the application to do instead. This is an important piece of information: sometimes, what the application does is what the developers expected it to do and they didn't realise it would cause you problems so describing what you expect is helpful to understand the defect. Any additional information you think can help diagnose the problem. For instance, if the application used to work and suddenly stopped working, specify when it started mis-behaving.
