MOTU Council Poll February/March 2009
I'm running for a seat on the MOTU/Council again, so I hope you'll vote for me.
Here's why MOTU is important to me: when I started in the MOTU team, it was still very young and fairly unorganised, but one thing was radically different from everything else I had seen in the Open Source world before: every sign said "we're all in this together, let's make the world a better place". The very welcoming feeling and the atmosphere of getting stuff done with great people simply intrigued me. I learned by doing and people who were on the team already encouraged me and helped me out where they could. This way I found a lot of friends who are just awesome people.
I want every newcomer in the Ubuntu Development community to have the same feeling: "these people are united by the wish to make the world a better place and they are welcoming me into their team". Also I want it to be as easy as possible to get involved.
My plans for the future are: more events, more work with the LoCo community (training videos in other languages), better coordinated overlap with other communities and better ways to figure out what needs doing.
