Hi Technical Board Members,I am Philipp and I just recently joined Canonical as the Community Engineering Manager. I’ve spent the past 16 years in the Mozilla ecosystem, most recently managing product operations (community/editorial/security) for addons.mozilla.org.
The reason why I am here is to provide dedicated leadership to the community team at Canonical, and to support the Ubuntu Community to be successful. I’ve put myself on a mission to reignite the broader Ubuntu community, refocusing and improving on the initiative that Ken announced last year. Part of that is making sure the various boards and councils have what they need, and taking more of an outside-in view on community.
I’m aware the board is mostly staff driven at the moment, and I’ve read various information from the wiki. I’d love to figure out if that information is still up to date, better understand how you are making decisions and how that interacts with the work our internal teams are doing. Furthermore I’m interested in if/how the community is involved in decision making, and what the prospects are of a community member becoming part of the technical board.
Would you be interested in meeting to chat about these questions? It certainly doesn’t need to be everyone, but if I could grab some time with a few of you it would be helpful.
