Dear MOTU Council,

Please accept this as my application to become a Master of the Universe.

My name is Iulian Udrea and am seventeen year old school boy. I like reading
Computer/SF books, develop open source software, play chess and work on
Ubuntu development, of course.

I have been involved in Ubuntu development for about one year now. I first
started fixing .desktop files, write manual pages and working on bugs which
had the bitesize tag. After a couple of months I dived more into Ubuntu
development and started to merge and sync packages with Debian and that
gave me the chance to become an Ubuntu Universe Contributor.

In the Intrepid cycle I spent most of my time on merging and syncing
packages
with Debian. I am the maintainer of 5 packages: dpkg-awk, git-cola,
salasaga,
giver and gtkmm-utils. All of these packages are maintained in Debian, in a
GIT repository (git.debian.org), except gtkmm-utils.
I am now focused on merging and syncing packages with Debian, review
packages
on REVU, help and give feedback to people interested in Ubuntu development,
in the motu channel on IRC.
If I get the MOTU status it will obviously make my work easier. That being
said
I would like to get involved in the mentoring programme, helping people to
become more interested in Ubuntu development.

I've also done some QA uploads in Debian which helped me to understand
better
the processes and how Debian works. In Debian I'm involved with the QA team,
helping them to fix broken packages which don't have a maintainer and
identify the packages with inactive maintainers. I'm also interested in
adopting
more packages and fixing them as well.

On the other hand I have participated in Ubuntu Developer Week (UDW) with
the
"Introduction to MOTU" session. There I talked about processes, how to get
involved, what you need in order to become a MOTU and answered all the
questions.
I have also ran a session about "Bug Triage" at the Ubuntu Open Week (UOW)
with an awesome guy named Pedro Villavicencio.

I am CCing some of my sponsors and I would like to thank them for their
great
help and feedback!
