    +1 from me based on strong sponsor comments and fairly impressive
technical work.  That said, I'm not convinced of significant
integration with the larger MOTU team, and was this also a
simultaneous application for Ubuntu Membership based directly on
involvement with development, given the discussion of the MOTU
Leaders, existing IRC traffic in common fora, and other presentations,
I'm not sure I would be convinced.  As you've been an Ubuntu Member
since late May, this reservation is not so relevant to the
application.

    Also, reviewing the packages page, there appears to be only two
packages that were uploaded to universe.  Are you sure that being MOTU
will benefit you in your work in Ubuntu?  Given your focus and
documented history, you may find that an application for Ubuntu Core
Developer would be more suited to match your work.  That said, if you
wish to be MOTU, we'd welcome you, but do please become more involved
with MOTU and MOTU activities.  Alternately, if this is not your plan,
please withdraw this request, and apply to be an Ubuntu Core
Developer.
