Replying since I have already sent my application. I would like to become a DD. However I tend to scratch short term itches such as maintaining the occasional small package and sending in bug reports with patches. This means I don't interact with anybody long enough for them to become confident with advocating me. Its been like that for a few years now, and I don't see it changing in the foreseeable future. In the mean time its become obvious I can contribute to Debian without being a DD, so the urgency has diminished somewhat. There are still things that I like to do but can't do without becoming a DD. Things such as voting, helping out in areas where Debian appears to be short staffed (the NM queue seemed like it could of used help for a while), adding new packages without having to beg for a sponsor, sponsoring others, and not having to bug Anibal to upload my packages. And my reason for becoming an DM? It removes one item off that list. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
