I like this suggestion. It keeps membership very open but solves the issue of the current Launchpad team being essentially useless. > Who will validate our requirements are satisfied? Launchpad can do some of this itself. I believe that you can set a team so that it only allows people who have signed the "Code of Conduct" to be members. > In the case of Fedora I believe any existing team member can validate a > request for membership.

AFAIK there are three types of teams availiable: Open (what we have now) Moderated (one of the team administrators must approve membership applications) Restricted (people can't apply to join, only team administrators can add new members) Moderated teams can be set so that when someone applies through Launchpad a email is sent to the mailing list. I would also suggest that we make the team auto-expire memberships so that only people that are still interested and active can be on the team. It can be set so that either renewal is done by an administrator or by the team member themselves. I think allowing people to renew themselves would be fine for us. We just want to ensure they're still interested. No more 700+ inactive members.... - Andrew Starr-Bochicchio -- ubuntu-art mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
