I wish I knew why my WikiName is JonathanMarsden2 -- there is only one Jonathan Marsden. === Goals ===

 * Learn enough about Ubuntu packaging to become a MOTU someday.
 * Document the learning process so others learn from my mistakes

=== Current Activity ===

 * Fixing simple bugs and creating debdiffs for them
 * Hanging out on #ubuntu-motu both asking for help and helping others
 * Adding to this wiki where appropriate

=== Common Mistakes in Packaging ===

 * Keep lines of text under 80 chars in debian/changelog
 * Remember to update the Standards-Version (and check the package meets the new version)
 * Provide plenty of detail in debian/changelog so a newcomer can quickly see what was changed
