User Support & Advocacy

Like any open source software, Xubuntu needs volunteers to give user support and advocate Xubuntu both online and locally.


Communication

The main communication channels for Xubuntu development are the IRC and Matrix channels #xubuntu-devel, the Xubuntu-devel mailing list, and the Telegram group. The Xubuntu team also runs community meetings more or less regularly.

Contributor Documentation

The Xubuntu contributor documentation is a compilation of guides that help keep the project in the right general direction and describes the processes the community use. Finally, the last part of the documentation instructs contributors to perform certain tasks.
