Hello, everyone. In late 2009, Benjamin Humphrey founded the Ubuntu Manual Project and served as its leader until late 2010. As project leader, Ben handled much of the marketing and recruiting efforts for the project. In addition, he served as the de factor editor in chief for the first two editions of the manual.
While searching for a suitable replacement, we decided to split Ben's responsibilities into two roles: a marketing/recruiting leader and an editor in chief. Since we only had two applicants for the 'project leader' role, we discussed and decided to abandon the project leader role and instead create a marketing and recruiting team that both applicants would join. The two applicants, Jason Odoom (jasono) and Micheal Harker (MichaelH), agreed. The marketing/recruitment team's primary goals are to promote and publicize the project and to attract and recruit new team members. We also received four applicantions for the editor in chief role. After reviewing the applications and chatting with the two applicants in attendance, we took a vote. Rick Fosburgh (rickfosb) won the majority of votes and will be the editor in chief for Getting Started with Ubuntu 11.04. In addition to all of the duties you'd expect of an editor (checking spelling, grammar, style, etc.), Rick will be working with the rest of the team to ensure that the manual is released in a timely fashion. Please help us welcome our Jason, Michael, and Rick to our team. —Kevin (godbyk) and John (c7p) _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-manual Post to : ubuntu-manual@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-manual More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
