[https://launchpad.net/~scottritchie Scott Ritchie] patiently worked on Wine in Ubuntu for a long time. He has demonstrated he has all it takes to become a MOTU and joined the team.
In just 6 short months of being involved in the MOTU process, Andrea has displayed what it takes to be an outstanding member of the MOTU community. With an interest in games and science, Andrea wasn't fulfilled and has since then taken a liking to the QA process, spending countless amount of hours fixing FTBFS, unmetdeps, as well as library transitions, stuff you typically see seasoned MOTUs go after. It is this dedication that makes [http://launchpad.net/~warp10 Andrea Colangelo] a member of the MOTU community.
Having worked on Xubuntu quite a lot, we're happy to welcome [https://launchpad.net/~cody-somerville Cody Somerville] to the MOTU team.
After outstanding feedback from all people [http://launchpad.net/~mok0 Morten Kjeldgaard] worked with, he was deemed ready for MOTU membership.

warp10 is now a MOTU and offered himself as a Mentor. He has now been assigned two contributors, congratulations and thanks Andrea!
pitti is now mentoring mattismyname, thanks Martin, you ROCK!
dktrkrantz now mentors dudus, way to go Luca!
We have received six new requests for a mentor since the last report; we have now 11 contributors on our waiting list.
