-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I would like to apply for MOTU membership based upon the following justification: I have worked with the MOTU team since last summer, July 2006 towards the Edgy and Feisty releases.  I became active with the team in trying to get mythtv and mythplugins packages fixed up prior to Edgy release.  Prior to my working with those packages, mythtv hadn't been touched in Ubuntu since mdz's last change in August of 2005.  Nearly all of my contributions in Ubuntu have been centered around mythtv, mythplugins, or any applications related to the functionality of an Ubuntu based mythtv box [1].  This includes contributions towards hardware support such as the HDHomeRun, IVTV drivers, IVTV firmware, and lirc[2]. Early on, imbrandon was my main sponsor and worked very closely with me to get the initial packages merged and helped with looking over my first few patches.  Later on, keescook joined the ubuntu-mythtv team with us, and since then has sponsored a majority of my packages. [3] & [4]  Recently, crimsun has also sponsored a few packages that I am also very happy with [5] & [6].  Other sponsors that have uploaded a package or two for me include LaserJock, jdong, Hobbsee, Toadstool, and persia. [1]  It appears that not all of my uploads show up on launchpad, but my activity with mythtv and mythplugins is apparent in the changelogs [3] & [4]. I would like to join MOTU in order to further continue working on the Ubuntu MythTV experience.  Recently, Mythbuntu [7] was formally acknowledged [8] and I intend to submit all patches, and additional packages used for it back into the Ubuntu universe and multiverse.  I feel that Ubuntu can become the distribution of choice to use for MythTV.
