[Ubuntu Leadership] Let's Reboot This Team (Again)!

[Svetlana Belkin]

All,

Yet another year passed and looks like we have not tired to reboot this 
team in order to create a powerful community of leaders within the 
Ubuntu Community.  I want to try again on rebooting this team, even 
though I'm aware that we have resource (time and human) problems.  The 
reason is that Find-A-Task was again brought up on the community-list 
[1] saying that it's not helping the Community, but Ian himself said[2] 
that it's a problem with leadership.  This is why I'm making a call to 
reboot this team.

I have three projects/ideas that we could start on:

1. Mentoring Program

It's the same one [3] that I suggested last year.

2. Material Collection

Our resource page [4] only have two links and both link to the "Building 
Community" wiki pages.  I don't recall if those two pages have any 
material on leadership.  I'm planning to write a blog post, for those 
who don't use mailing-lists, and an e-mail to both Community Team and 
the LoCo Contacts mailing-lists, as they are our Community-based 
mailing-lists, but I wanted to discuss this idea first.  I'm not sure if 
this would help the team and the Community.

3. Leader's Code of Conduct

It looks like we had one in the beginning but it's gone.  I know that 
someone still has the copy.  I don't know if, in the past, the team 
required all leaders within the Community to sign it.  I think it would 
be something that we could try to do again because it will offer 
protection- or would it be useless if our Community is a meritocracy? If 
not, the two other problems is that there is no way to show that someone 
has signed it on LP and (to me) that board members of every board are 
required to sign it since they are leaders.  Or would this be void if 
the CC sees who is fit and who is not for the members of each board?

Out of these three, I think the second one would be the easiest to work 
on since it's simple.  The third idea would be the second because it 
requires a bit more work, if we figure out that it's still needed.  The 
first last would be the hardest to work on since it requires resources 
that we seem to not have.

Please feel free to reply to this e-mail or we can start three separate 
threads for each idea.
