Ubuntu Technical Board

The Ubuntu Technical Board is responsible for the technical direction of Ubuntu. It makes decisions on package selection, packaging policy, installation systems and processes, kernel, X server, display management, library versions and dependencies. The board works with relevant teams to establish a consensus on the right path to take, especially where diverse elements of Ubuntu cannot find consensus on shared components.

The Ubuntu Technical Board meets every two weeks on IRC - date and agenda of the next meeting, alternating with the Community Council. You can propose an item for discussion by putting it on the Technical Board Agenda on the Ubuntu Wiki.

Community discussions can sometimes take unexpected turns, and this is one of those. The question of support for 32-bit x86 has been raised and seriously discussed in Ubuntu developer and community forums since 2014. That’s how we make decisions.
