My plans... of course sponsoring patches for the desktops, but if there is no 
one to actually create the patches, there is no need for sponsoring, therefore 
I am going to contine my effort of getting new people to join the Ubuntu 
development crew and help them get to the point where they don't need 
sponsoring anymore.

I'll probably work mostly on KDE (related) packages, since that is where I got 
most experience. However, I also know enough about how GNOME works, so I guess 
I will jump in there as well as help is needed. 
To summarize that: desktop environments, with focus on KDE

The work with Debian maintainers is just awesome. I think especially the 
cooperation between Kubuntu and Debian KDE team is pretty good. While we are 
having a healthy competition, there is also a lot of collaboration going (all 
big decisions which affect Debian one way or another usually are discussed with 
them before doing anything).

Core developers, are just developers...
Collaboration with core devs is not any different from the one within MOTU 
(just that I need sponsoring after agreeing on the perfect solution/change). 
In general, I'd like to describe the collaboration as fun and excellent team 
work.

Greetings,
Harald
