Do you have a list of the packages you worked on so far? I know you are interested in empathy and helped Ken on it, what else did you work on? You mentioned wanted to apply for MOTU as well, what sort of work would you be interested to do in both sets? Getting ubuntu-desktop membership gives direct commit and upload access to most of what constitute the Ubuntu Desktop so we tend to be cautious. To me it seems you are doing a good job so far but you only worked on a limited set of component and I would prefer if you could get a bit more experience, especially dealing with things like libraries (soname changes, .symbols handling), conffiles, new source or binaries, etc before applying for desktop. It shouldn't be hard to find sponsors for your desktop work either. Does that make sense to you? Let me know if you feel like you already have the skills needed and that I'm overlooking work you did (which is possible, I don't manage to follow everything going on around ;-) Cheers, Sebastien Bacher -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop

I have been under the guidance of Ken Vandine and I feel that I'm bugging him more now to upload than I am asking questions about the processes. I have blocked him on numerous occasions from other things and would like to give him his time back. I would like to use this as a stepping stone to MOTU membership. I really appreciate endorsements. Thanks for your time, ~Brian Curtis FWIW, ubuntu-desktop and MOTU are mutually exclusive package sets (although ubuntu-desktop now comes with the desktop-extra membership which has packages in universe as well).
