Invitation to Join the Ubuntu Leadership Team

[Amber Graner]

Hi all!
We've kicked off the Ubuntu Leadership Team....more information can be
found on the blog I just published. Below is the post in full and here
is the link to it - http://akgraner.com/?p=1028.  Please forward to
your teams and to anyone you think would like to join, ask questions,
make suggestion, etc.

Thanks,
Amber

David Wonderly kicked off the launch of the Ubuntu Leadership Team in
a blog post earlier this month.  However, this is not the first that
mumbles of leadership resources have been mentioned.  It’s good to see
this leadership resource initiative getting “off the ground” and I am
excited to be part of this team.  While this is an open team and
anyone is welcome to join we did specifically send out an invitation
for the various councils and boards to join.

This team or membership on this team is not a requirement nor is it
meant to be required training for anyone in the community who is a
current, new or contemplating leadership roles and responsibilities.
This team is meant to give leaders the resources to identify skills
needed to become better more effective and successful leaders.

In other words this team is meant to inspire not be required.

The goal is to put out weekly leadership tips and techniques, skills,
leadership styles and more.  We want to hear your success stories,
your suggestions, what you wish someone would have told you before you
become a leader, what questions you have about leading an all
volunteer group etc.  We don’t make claims to have all the answers but
what we do want to do is be able to find the people and the resources
to help answer all those questions and concerns.

If you are interested in leadership then please come and join the team
and let’s develop the resources you wish you had been given when you
decided to take on a leadership role in the Ubuntu Community.  The
first document is one I created for a LoCo Leadership handbook.  It’s
rough and needs a lot of gaps filled in and updated but at least it’s
a start. Eventually David (and whomever) wants to help will add this
to LP and BZR so we have some version control over it.

Remember this team is a resource for the whole community and it’s open
to everyone so please join in the fun, ask questions, make suggestions
and more.

Here’s where we are at so far:

Wiki Page - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuLeadership
Ubuntu LoCo Leadership Document -
https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AdKZelXU8Y2LZGNrcHRkYmhfNzhmNnNmM2RjdA&hl=en_US
IRC Channel – #ubuntu-leadership (on freenode)  waiting on an Ubuntu
Logbot to be dropped into the channel  - *channel now being logged*
Launchpad Team - https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuleadership
Mailing list – Request for ubuntu-leadership at lists.ubuntu.com has been requested
Forums  - Request made

I hesitated to blog about this as I was waiting for the mailing list
to be in place, but I’ll just keep updating everyone here and on the
wiki page as more resources become available.  However, please go
ahead and join the LP team and the IRC channel.  As soon as the
mailing list is available we’ll post on various blogs, and social
media sites and update the wiki.

Also if there is someone who would like to create an Ubuntu Leadership
Logo for us that would rock!  (Please and Thank you!)

Thanks again to those who are already joining and I can’t wait to see
more people get involved.
