MOTU Application for Guillaume Martres (smarter)

[Guillaume Martres]

Dear MOTU Council,

After some pressures from my sponsors, I finally had guts to apply for MOTU, so 
here it is ;)

I've been using Ubuntu for three years now and got involved in Kubuntu 
development last year. I started by contributing some patches[1] and after 
learning more about packaging, uploaded new packages to REVU. I now have a 
pretty solid knowledge of packaging and  try to help others when possible, 
I've also recently gained KDE SVN access and I'm now both an upstream and a 
downstream developer :).

Some packages I've made and some uploads:
- kde4-style-bespin, one of the packages I've made
- desktop-effects-kde 0.4.1
- extremetuxracer, because I don't only do Qt/KDE packages ;)
- devscripts 2.10.26ubuntu5, thanks to Paul Sladen for his help
- kvkbd 0.5.99-0ubuntu1, I ported kvkbd from kde3 to kde4 to reduce the number 
of Qt3 apps in Kubuntu 8.10, I also refreshed the packaging

I'm a big fan of cdbs and the use of vcs for packaging[2], but that's probably 
because we only use that in Medibuntu ;)

I've CCed my principal sponsors and would like to thank them a lot for the 
help, feedback, support and motivation they gave me. I also want to thank all 
the Ubuntu Developers for there work and for the amazing community we have.
