Re: Please do not tell people interested in working on Qt/KDE apps in?Universe #ubuntu-motu is the wrong channel
Ar Mer, 2010-06-16 am 17:24 -0400, ysgrifennodd Scott Kitterman: I get that you think it's OK to tell people who want to be a MOTU to go elsewhere if they express an interest in a KDE/Qt packages. I disagree. Scott K Scott, in this conversation from what I have read in the thread all that has happened is that the guy asking for help, shadeslayer, was advised to hang out in #kubuntu-devel since that is the location where people who can assist with KDE-related technical matters in Ubuntu are most likely to be found in one place. The MOTU team is a great team for assistance in packaging but if a specific KDE-related error popped up then hanging out in both #kubuntu-devel #ubuntu-motu would allow that developer to get help and fix the problem much more easier since there is a great pool of assistance to choose from. In my humble opinion, there is absolutely nothing wrong whatsoever with recommending a developer/contributor to be in two related channels which focus on two different aspects on which they will need to combine to do their task most efficiently. This is a big case of something out of nothing.

This is a big case of something out of nothing. You're welcome to you're opinion. The problem is it's unrelated to what happened. He didn't ask for help with Qt packaging. He asked for help becoming a MOTU. If the situation were that he was asking for help with a specific package, then I would agree. Scott K In this instance, fabrice_sp was simply suggesting that connecting to other K* channels would help him out overall. He didn't say, well to join the MOTU it is best off that you head to #kubuntu-* but rather if you hang out in #kubuntu-* you may also pick up some other tips. In the -motu channel itself he tried to link him to the /MOTU/Mentoring page on the wiki however the other contributor beat him to it. I can't really see what happened next after the message at 15:29:16 to see how that developed.

Re: Gnomesword, libsword, diatheke, sword modules, bibletime
Hello Norbert, I will be willing to work with you on this project. Join #ubuntu-motu on the Freenode IRC network sometime and search for Chris`. From what I've seen, the packaging (of the older versions) is a bit more advanced than some of my other packages but I will be willing to contribute too. Have you seen the packaging videos by Daniel Holbach yet? They have some good information for packaging in them.

Several of our programmes are in your repository, but they are ancient, often 2 or more releases behind us. Hi, I haven't contributed anything to Ubuntu before (besides a few bug reports) but I'd be willing to maintain packaging of the CrossWire software for Ubuntu and Debian, in the sense of updating the concerned packages whenever a new upstream version comes out, fixing any packaging bugs, etc. I'm aware of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/GettingStarted and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Debian/ForUbuntuDevelopers and intend to try just following the instructions. :-) If someone else is also interested in working on this, I certainly wouldn't mind being part of a team effort...
