Overall Review and Re-Assignment for Lubuntu Sub-Teams

Registered by amjjawad 

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/SubTeams

While each and everyone is trying his/her best to improve the system for 14.04, suggest, think, etc ... there is a very important thing, IMHO, that we should NOT forget nor ignore for this cycle. IMHO, the BEST time to start this is RIGHT NOW. It needs ONLY few days to finalize everything and decide what to be done.

Long story short, I'd suggest to start reviewing each and every Sub-Team and evaluate each and every sub-team based on the achievements and everything else.

Still not clear?

One Example is: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/SupportTeam

As an overall evaluation for this team: This Team had NO real/clear activities simply because all Lubuntu membes and users were giving support to each others and to the whole world. The idea was to build a SWAT TEAM for backup and support everyone including the team and users but that never happened. People simply were interested about some other area. I see no reason why this team is still exist.

Also, it is not just to evaluate or do a re-assignment to each and every team but even more to SET Targets and Plan for each one.

Each Team Leader must discuss with his members of that team and decide what is the plan for the coming 6 months. This is really important AND needed.

Also, it should be clear that Quality has the upper hand over Quantity. It is not about how many members this Sub-Team has, it is about how ACTIVE they are :)

Thanks!

Whiteboard

[amjjawad] Send an Email to everyone who left on the already DEAD Team - https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-support - and processed with shutting it down since it has never ever been used and since everyone is giving support else where and there is absolutely no need to maintain a launchpad team - no one has the time to look after that. I have sent an email a month ago but there was no reply, which indeed proves that this team is dead - https://lists.launchpad.net/lubuntu-support/msg00056.html

Reasons to shut down this Sub-Team (Support Team):

   - It has never ever been used
    - which means waste of resources (time and effort) to maintain a Launchpad Team
    - Support is given on each and every channel by many people
    - The idea of having a Sub-Team for Support is to organize the people who are interested in Technical Support which never ever happened
    - Other Communities like Xubuntu and Ubuntu GNOME have no separate support team
    - We can always re-create a Sub-Team if we feel the urgent need for that
    - There is NO ONE at the moment to look after this team right now
    - Team and members of this sub-team were both inactive and with no activities whatsoever
    - Lubuntu Community has its own way to provide support on various channels
    - The Priority for this cycle is to have an LTS Release and re-evaluate each and every Sub-Team.

For all the above reasons, I highly recommend to shut it down.

[amjjawad] I am sorry, I should have updated this Blueprint regarding Lubuntu Communications Team - https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-comms - but what happened in the last week was so quick and a lot so I had no time to update it. Anyway, there are a lot can be found on the Archive of the Mailing List of Lubuntu Communications Team so I will avoid posting links and stuff here. Long story short, the 2nd assessment is done and the Communications Team is settling down step by step. The team now has a new ACTIVE owner and I shall remain as an admin to help whenever needed.
