Introduction
Though there are many ways to contribute in Sugar Labs in totally informal ways, a number of formal positions have been created to support some of the processes in the community and to give more visibility to some roles, specifically to encourage leadership and ownership of responsibilities.
This page lists the ones that are not being completely fulfilled at the moment in the hope that people will get interested into jumping in and taking ownership of them.
