I can't speak for this application (as I've not really worked with Emanuele
although I found him very receptive on the lone occasion in which I have)
but regardless if he becomes a MOTU or not I'd love to see him take an
initiative to educate (hopefully soon to be fellow) MOTU, MOTU-contributors,
MOTU-hopefuls, and the general Ubuntu public about security and
security-related concerns for both technical and not-so-technical interests.
I know that if if he were to append such ambitions to his future plans, it
would strengthen my personal desire to see him become MOTU.
Emanuele: Best of luck and I hope to see you leading some classroom sessions
soon. If you ever have a second, I'd also love to have a quick chit-chat
with you to get some tips on how to help make sure Xubuntu stays nice and
secure :)
Cheers,
