What is the makeup of the server team?

[Miano, Steven M.]

Sorry for top posting but I would agree with Dan, I'm a simple user of Ubuntu Server that is interested in the direction that it will be taking.

I'm not nearly a developer, and have very intermediate skills I would say. I think that Michaels question was more towards the Ubuntu/Canonnical side of things though, and not so much as to who is on the Ubuntu Server Mailing List.

I'm more on your side of the fence than the developer side.  While I've been saddled with some real work projects that haven't allowed me time to do anything Ubuntu server related in the past 6 months, when i did have time, I found the developers helpful.

That being said, I've found this team is more of a server contribution team than a server support team.

Laying awake last night retracing my unfortunate flame war with Soren, I began
to ponder root causes. And I came up with an answer. Even though it may be wrong.

So I'm hoping to gain some information and understanding by asking an odd
question...

What's the makeup of the Ubuntu server team? More specifically, does it
include influential representation from people (sorta like me) who are
attempting to scrape out a living deploying Ubuntu on bottom-of-the-barrel
lowest low-end hardware, installing those machines in deplorable conditions,
and with nothing remotely resembling an I/T infrastructure (facilities or
people) to support the server?

The above isn't intended to form the basis of an accusation or complaint. I
just sense a big difficult-to-cross gulf between folks who, for example, have
the ability to remotely manipulate a server that isn't even running versus
those of us out here in the hillbilly backwater who think that a high end
server is one with a CD-ROM drive. (I can elaborate but am trying to avoid
rambling.)

Can someone give me a thumbnail of the makeup and organization of the server team?

Thanks,
Michael Hipp
