The nUbuntu development team is looking for someone who would like to assist us with the title of Package Maintainer.

Their responsibilities would be to keep familiar with the software and keep a list of updates that need to be included.

This is not just for apt packages, this includes all of the tools in the /tools directory as well.

Possibly at a later date in time, their job will be to lead a small team in creation of our own apt repo for tools that don't include a .deb.

For all inquiries please send me a private message.


Thanks,
Brendan

Any talented graphic designers out there? Then this is for you!

We're looking for some graphic designers to develop a wallpaper for the upcoming final release of nUbuntu 8.04 LTS. This competition is open to everyone and anyone, the top three submissions will be featured in the release.

Feel free to submit anything you've designed. To do this simply make a topic in the artwork section of the forum and 2 weeks before the release of 8.04 final, a vote will occur.

If you have any questions, feel free to address them here.

Thanks,

With an upcoming release, we're looking for people to donate some bandwidth to mirror the nUbuntu ISO's. If anyone is interested please let me know.

From this point forward, everyone interested will help toward making nUbuntu the best security distribution out there. There are currently at the moment 3 'tiers' of contributors as outlined below.

Tier 1 includes developers who have commit access, who lead the project and work on the significant portion of nUbuntu. This includes Brendan
Almonte and Rohan Sheth.

Tier 2 are trusted community members who can approve submitted packages, handle support issues and maintain the wiki.

Tier 3 is the general community. Who can submit packages for inclusion
into nUbuntu.

Above was just a brief outline as to how nUbuntu will evolve. This will be expanded upon soon.

Thanks,
Brendan

Note: Better titles will come for users other than 'Tier #'.

nUbuntu has recieved a new server. Check out the pics:

and

With the move, problems may arise. Please let me know here if anything doesn't seem to work.

Thanks,
Phobos

After some members asking for a wiki to be setup, one has finally launched.

This wiki is located at <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://wiki.nubuntu.org">http://wiki.nubuntu.org</a><!-- m -->. In order to edit the wiki, it requires you to have a registered account on the forums.

So far I've found one bug in this process. If your password contains any special symbols (anything other than an alphanumeric set of characters) you will not be able to login to the wiki. In order to change this, simply change your password in the user control panel.

If anyone has any questions, comments or finds any other bugs please feel free to post them here. Also feel free to edit the wiki if you'd like.
