An Ubuntu Calendar of Events is currently maintained as part of “The Fridge”. See monthly and daily lists at e.g. http://fridge.ubuntu.com/event and the iCal feed: http://fridge.ubuntu.com/event/ical/all/all

I’d love to see an RSS feed for it in chronological order.

BTW, it would be great if in the future all the applicants who didn’t get the job would be emailed about the selection process being over. (No, this wasn’t the job I applied for)

For the last eight years I have worked in a number of different communities, developing community relations and working to understand, rationalise and manage the different aspects of community effectively. Most recently I have been doing this with the Jokosher project, and we have an awesome community with a strong culture and direction. [...]

[...] Brother Bacon has recently accepted a position as community manager for Ubuntu. His description details a lot of focus on the developer side of community, which is very different from my role at Novell. Jono is an outstanding person for the job, and I think the Ubuntu community very fortunate to have him, so I also congratulate Canonical on a fine choice. [...]

I think the legal community for Ubuntu is best kept to GNU. It is regularly scrutinized and has a high contribution rate.
If you created a schism between Ubuntu and GNU it would throw most of the Ubuntu initiative (from a legal stance) into neutral.
An ubuntu legal initiative is essentially a GNU issues. Of course unless it’s branding or trademark issue, the code-base legal concerns are best left to GNU.

This infrastructure exists, check it out at http://www.gnu.org/provide.html. No reason to re-invent the wheel.

The purpose of the Community Mgr would be to drive the 3 C’s (Code, Creative & Content) that is uniquely Ubuntu. To foster innovation within the current contributer base of Ubuntu and to drive new contributers to Ubuntu.

I could be wrong though, happens all the time

I notice that the job is no longer listed on the site. Does this mean the position has been filled? I have not been able to find an announcement on a blog or on a mailing list? Will people that applied be notified the position has been filled?

Slightly tanguent I am looking for a calendar of upcoming Ubuntu events and milestones, but have not been able to find one.
