MOTU Council nomination

I was nominated for a position on the MOTU Council on February '09, I hope that you'll vote for me.

I've been in the community for some time now; I wish to help out with mentoring, approval of new developers/members, and also resolving of any issues developers may have. One of the ways I try and make developers' lives easier, is by working on improving the ubuntu-dev-tools package.

I want to help make everyone's Ubuntu experience as smooth and fun as possible - please feel free to drop me an email if you have any questions.

Past activies
