Recently, I read in the release notes from 11.10 that the project was dealt an "almost complete team fail." I've enjoyed using the system and was saddened to hear things did not go as well as planned. For a quick bio, I have some background with the Ubuntu project which I was involved with for roughly two and a half years. During that time I filled a number of roles in many different areas of the project, so I am familiar with the wiki, launchpad, and the like. I consider myself a "jack of all trades" but master of none. ;) Now that I'm at a point where I have more free time on my hands, I was looking for an opportunity to help out an open source project. It was about this time that I read the release notes for Oneiric and thought I would look into becoming involved with Ubuntu Studio. I would really like to help out in the part of the project that needs the most attention. I look forward to working with you all!

That is outstanding news, indeed :) During the next week I will be continuing my work on a "Contribute to Ubuntu Studio" wiki page so that will hopefully be a repository of tasks needing to be done. But I can tell you some of the big items we are working on currently. We have several big items we are working on: * building, submitting to REVU, and getting approved the -lowlatency kernel so we can use it by default in the image * transitioning from the alternate installation image to a live dvd * also transition to Edubuntu's method of selection software during installation (GUI equivalent of alternate's tasksel) And then we have some more mundane tasks: * updating the lightdm theme (probably stealing what ubuntu has done) * updating the theme (very similar to what xubuntu has done) * updating the documentation found in <a href="http://help.ubuntu.com">help.ubuntu.com</a> * updating the current website (lot's of people already working on this one though) I'm excited that you want to help Ubuntu Studio and look forward to hearing back from you :) ScottL
