Hi,
My name is James Westby, and I am a MOTU hopeful.
I am using this page to document my achievements so far.
I have recently started getting involved in Ubuntu development, after being involved in Debian for a couple of years.

- Helping maintainers solve packaging problems.
new python policy and an unusual build system: http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2006/09/msg00175.html
Build-Depends/Build-Depends-Indep: http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2006/07/msg00393.html
Transitions:
- Mass rebuild and bug-filing of all packages that Build-Depends on automake (about 63), to see if they required the dependency, and could be updated to a more recent automake if they did.
gnutls11->gnutls13 rebuilt all packages to make sure they worked with the new version.
