I have added my application to the agenda for Nov 29, 2021. for reference, the meeting log from your previous application is here: <a href="https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2021/09/20/%23ubuntu-meeting.txt" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2021/09/20/%23ubuntu-meeting.txt</a> my vote/feedback from the mtg: [16:35] <ddstreet> -1 most of your technical work seems good to me, but I'm concerned about SRU work; in particular I'm worried that most of your experience has been with the devel release, and most SRU work is with "special" packages that don't follow the normal SRU rules. I also am concerned that most of your experience, and all your endorsements, are from fellow team members on the foundations team. I'd like to see more endorsements from non-foundations [16:35] <ddstreet> people, and more SRU work, especially difficult SRU work. I reviewed your recent SRU uploads and while I'd *ideally* like to see a few more (the speedtest-cli, hplip, and ghostscript SRU patches are all pretty basic), I feel like it's a good enough example of understanding of the process and I've seen enough of your more detailed technical work from the previous application. I'd still really like to have seen at least one endorsement from a sponsor who isn't on the Foundations team, but that certainly isn't a requirement and I won't hold it against you :-) So, please consider this email my official +1 vote for your application. > > I have updated my application with steps I have taken to improve my ability to contribute to Ubuntu as a core developer: <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/jawn-smith/CoreDeveloperApplication" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/jawn-smith/CoreDeveloperApplication</a> . I will also provide a short summary in this thread: > > One of the main pieces of feedback I received during my first application was my lack of SRU experience, and the fact that many of the SRUs I had done were total backports rather than SRUs that cherry-pick small changes. I have written the SRU templates and created the debdiffs for LP: #1938442 LP: #1913656 and LP: #1944475 . I have also created a patch and performed SRU verification (after somebody else filled out the SRU template) for LP: #1923352. While I am still waiting to have some of these uploaded, I believe they demonstrate my understanding of the SRU template and how to cherry pick minor code changes. > > I have also completed the Go 1.17 transition, and read a good amount of documentation to better understand transitions and seeds, and other useful concepts. > > I have kept my calendar clear this time in case this meeting runs long again. > > Thank you for your consideration, > > William > > On Mon, Sep 20, 2021 at 3:36 PM Dan Streetman <<a href="mailto:ddstreet@canonical.com" target="_blank">ddstreet@canonical.com</a>> wrote: >> >> On Thu, Sep 2, 2021 at 12:27 PM William Wilson >> <<a href="mailto:william.wilson@canonical.com" target="_blank">william.wilson@canonical.com</a>> wrote: >> > >> > I, William 'jawn-smith' Wilson, apply for core-dev. >> > >> > My application can be found at <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/jawn-smith/CoreDeveloperApplication" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/jawn-smith/CoreDeveloperApplication</a> >> >> During today's DMB meeting, the board voted to decline the application >> for Ubuntu Core Developer, with feedback provided during the meeting. >> >> We appreciate your work for Ubuntu and look forward to your >> reapplication at a future meeting! >> >> > >> > I am aware of the request to submit the application at least a week before the meeting during which my application is considered. However, I was hoping you would be willing to consider my application during the next meeting on September 6 as I have a week of +1 maintenance work starting on September 13. I completely understand if this is too short notice, and would be happy to move my application to September 20. >> > >> > Thank you for your consideration, >> > >> > William >> > -- >> > Devel-permissions mailing list >> > <a href="mailto:Devel-permissions@lists.ubuntu.com" target="_blank">Devel-permissions@lists.ubuntu.com</a> >> > Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/devel-permissions" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/devel-permissions</a> > > -- > Devel-permissions mailing list > <a href="mailto:Devel-permissions@lists.ubuntu.com" target="_blank">Devel-permissions@lists.ubuntu.com</a> > Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/devel-permissions" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/devel-permissions</a> </blockquote></div>
