As a data point, let's encourage and nurture Ubuntu Budgie, they
are an exciting addition to the desktop space. DMB and TB carry
responsibility for making sure we keep the archive and developer
community healthy, so I'm not writing to change policy or override
anything, only to say the Budgie work is very welcome and it would
be good to find a safe way to empower the people driving it to do
so in Ubuntu.<span class="gmail-HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"></font></span></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Absolutely. We've been discussing just that elsewhere too.<br><br>At the moment, I'd be inclined to give David upload rights for the few
budgie-* packages he has already shown work on, but this is not yet
concensus in the DMB. I feel the consensus is currently: "we would like
to see more good work from him". I think this is something we can fix
pretty easily with proper mentoring and help with sponsoring packages.<br><br>In order to make sure that David and the development of Ubuntu Budgie
aren't being unjustly delayed, I'll reiterate what I've mentioned in the
IRC meeting before: I will gladly review and sponsor package uploads
for Ubuntu Budgie (from David or anyone else), and following that, write
an endorsement for a future meeting.<br><br>David, you should never
feel like you are disturbing me in my work when you ask for sponsoring;
and so feel free to ask me directly on IRC (preferably) or by email for
things you want to have sponsored for upload. I'm always glad to help.<br><br></div><div>Kindly,<br></div><div><br><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><span><div><div dir="ltr">Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre <<a href="mailto:mathieu.tl@gmail.com" target="_blank">cyphermox@ubuntu.com</a>><br>Freenode: cyphermox, Jabber: <a href="mailto:mathieu.tl@gmail.com" target="_blank">mathieu.tl@gmail.com</a><br>4096R/65B58DA1 818A D123 0992 275B 23C2 CF89 C67B B4D6 65B5 8DA1</div></div></span></div></div></div>
