lubuntu-desktop team mailing list archive

[Mario Behling <mb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear all,

Launchpads/Canonical policies demand that the lubuntu team becomes
moderated. More info below. I had to change the group to moderated.

Thanks,

Mario

Subject: Launchpad: Reminder about lubuntu-desktop's PPAs


Last week we wrote to tell you that on 2011-11-23 we will be changing the
membership policy of your Launchpad team lubuntu-desktop to moderated.
We're doing this to protect the people who use that team's Personal Package
Archive (PPA).

Right now, "lubuntu-desktop" has an open membership policy, meaning anyone
can join the team and upload potentially malicious packages to the PPA.

We strongly recommend that you change your team's membership policy now and
audit the team's membership to make sure that you trust each member.

You can change the team's membership policy here:

 https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop/+edit

Otherwise, you can delete the team's PPA and retain the open membership
policy.

Before you can create a new team PPA, a team's membership policy must be
either moderated or restricted. Your team was created before we improved
the security around team PPAs.

These changes won't have any affect on the team's current members. However
it does mean that you'll have to approve new team members.

There's more about Launchpad's team membership policies here:

Email feedback@xxxxxxxxxxxxx if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Steve Kowalik
On behalf of the Launchpad team
