Announcing Ubuntu Kernel Team / Call For Help

The Linux kernel in Ubuntu has, up until this point, been primarily
maintained by a series of different individuals. As Ubuntu takes on
more architectures and more users, its *needs* a solid team to help
maintain this essential piece of infrastructure. Ubuntu will not be
able to do this without the community's support.

Through January, Fabio Massimo Di Nitto has been handling the kernel
for Hoary. Ubuntu needs a group of community members to help fill in
for Fabio as he is on vacation for the second half of February and on
a more permanent basis.

If you have experience with the Linux kernel and would like to get
involved in Ubuntu development, this is an excellent opportunity to
make a meaningful contribution. Interested hackers should get in
contact with us directly by emailing the ubuntu-devel mailing list:

~   ubuntu-devel at lists.ubuntu.com

The job of maintaining the kernel is a complex one so help in a number
of areas is appreciated. Currently the team has broken down the task
into the following areas:

~ * Tracking Upstream
~ * Security
~ * Bug Tracking
~ * Porting
~ * Maintaining External drivers/specific Subsystems (e.g., ACPI)
~ * Ubuntu Packaging
~ * Working on Kernel Configuration Tools

Help in these or other areas will be highly apprecaited!
