Make sure you learn most he packaging tricks and contribute to AUR. Once you are confident you know most tricks in the book and you think we are also confident you did, get in contact with one of the current TUs and ask them to sponsor you. Alternatively you may ask one at some point what they think you should improve before you apply to increase your chances. Ronald

At some point we'd like to see that you know how to handle when issues arise. Remember we are a bleading edge distro, not all things work just out of the box so simple patches may need to be created.
