Lamentablemente, Ubuntu no forma parte de la DCC Alliance.

"Why is Ubuntu not part of the DCC Alliance?

I don't believe the DCC will succeed, though its aims are lofty and 
laudable. It would be expensive to participate, and it would slow down 
our ability to add the features, polish and integration that we want in 
new releases. I'm not prepared to devote scarce resources to an 
initiative that I believe will ultimately fail. There's no point here in 
going into the reasons why I think the DCC will fail - time will tell. I 
would encourage members of the Ubuntu community to participate in the 
DCC discussions if they have time and are interested. If the DCC 
produces good code, we should merge that into Ubuntu releases, and it 
should be easy to do so."
