The [[DeveloperMembershipBoard|Developer Membership Board]] will have prepared for the meeting (reviewed the application details, checked a few examples of your work, talked to sponsors, etc.) and ask questions to make sure the applicant qualifies for the team. During the meeting the DMB members will cast their votes and if quorum is reached (4 of 7 currently), will add the applicant to the team or ask to re-apply in due time. Currently, i will refer to myself as a C++/HTML/Python Programmer and a Lord in UNIX operating systems. I can prove all these beyond all reasonable doubts.

= My Ubuntu Story =

I have been a lover of opensource softwares/applications dealing strictly on computer security, networking and general programming but still confused about how to go about it (i mean how to go about the opensource softwares/applications) until i read a post online written by someone i suspect to be an Ubuntu user. In his post at (http://en.kioskea.net/forum/affich-139437-i-want-to-download-the-unix-operating-system) he gave a link on where we can download a UNIX operating system (http://www.ubuntu.com/GetUbuntu/download), because that was my major focus (getting and installing a UNIX operating system). I downloaded and installed it and also loved and appreciated it and that is exactly why i am highly interested in joining the Ubuntu Community. I want to give back to Ubuntu. Ubuntu is very fast at installations, booting and shutting down, infact i am highly impressed by the great works of Ubuntu so far.


Yes! (As all the other people before me) I want to contribute to Ubuntu and its community as a developer. I want to be assigned to a project I am really going to devote myself to.

= My Involvement =

 I prefer to get involved completely on UNIX/Linux programming,
 i also would like to get involved in other programming projects, test/debug/process code and writing manuals.

= Things I am proud of =

I am very proud though not yet fulfilled, that i can be called/referred to as a UNIX programmer and also very happy that i am about joining Ubuntu/Ubuntu Community.

= Areas of Work =

I am comfortable with Python, C++, HTML/XHTML, VB and UNIX/UNIX programming but still making great and greater effort to be expert in Java, Perl and LISP.
