Hello Dear FAI Fans,

since there was some interest in forming a team for maintaining fai in ubuntu and I don't have the resources to do it myself alone, I've now created a team in http://launchpad.net. The team homepage is at https://launchpad.net/~fai.

The main motivation for the team is to have an apt repository, which is autobuilt for amd64+i386, see https://launchpad.net/~fai/+archive. Every member of the team https://launchpad.net/~fai/+members is able to upload packages there.

Other tasks include providing fai backports for earlier versions of ubuntu, like I've done for dapper and feisty. We also receive bug reports https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fai/ , which need to be triaged and forwarded to Thomas. In the midterm, I'd like to have the install examples more tested, and ideally more actually working example classes for ubuntu and its variants kubuntu, xubuntu, mythubuntu, etc. It would be awesome if we had a FAI-CD for each of these variants. You see, there are enough ideas to implement ;)

For best support, we should direct ubuntu users to the fai mailing list. However, since the general advice for bugreporting in ubuntu is launchpad, we need this team to actively forward bugs.

If you are interested in working in such a team, please consider joining the team at https://launchpad.net/~fai/+join. After you have done so, please write me a small email what you've already done with fai, and what your plans in the team are.
