Dear MOTU Council,

Please consider my application to become a MOTU.

My Launchpad profile: https://launchpad.net/~dktrkranz
My packages page: https://launchpad.net/~dktrkranz/+packages
My wiki page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucaFalavigna

I started contributing to MOTU Community during late Feisty development
cycle, managing some outstanding merges. I was also involved in PHP 4
dependency removals, which affected Universe packages after PHP 4 was
removed from the archives.

During Gutsy development cycle, I had a wider look at MOTU activities.
After processing merges and syncs related to packages uploaded in
Feisty, I was involved in Apache 1.x dependency removals and some
bugfixes related to uninstallable packages (maintainer scripts
failures). After UVF, I focused primarily on various bugfixes and
successfully managed a couple of SRUs and security uploads.

I am active in Debian too, where I maintain three packages:
http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=dktrkranz%40ubuntu.com

In the future, I would like to focus on fixing uninstallable packages
(unmet dependencies, maintainer script failures, upgrade failures).
These issues are common for thousands of users, show up immediately and
prevent people from using a given package. Since Hardy will be a LTS,
this is an important goal to achieve, and I will be happy to give my
contribution where needed.

CCing my sponsors, Lionel Porcheron and Andrea Veri. Thank you for your
precious suggestions and thank you for bearing me.

Best regards,
