Stefan,<br><br>Per your other response, I didn't realize my application was still open. I was considering reapplying again in the near future, per the encouragement that I have been getting from Richard Johnson throughout the summer.
<br><br>I'd like to follow up a bit with an update to go for more reconsideration in my application.<br><br>Throughout the summer I have continued to supply new applications into universe having them looked at by various people in -motu and primarily sponsored by nixternal, TheMuso, and keescook. If you look at my current list of packages uploaded [1], you can see that I have kept very busy with the gutsy release cycle. Many of those applications have had multiple uploads that I have provided debdiffs to my sponsors and had them updated shortly thereafter.
<br><br>A large focus for me this summer has been working with Colin Watson and Evan on a ubiquity frontend for mythbuntu that has ended up in universe as well. I have followed their recommendations from and they regularly merge my changes into the ubiquity trunk branch. Some of the changes that have been merged make it much easier for future ubiquity derivative frontends and modifications to the GTK frontend from the ubuntu installer team.
<br><br>Also, I have actively made an effort to helping users more with packaging. When I have time in #ubuntu-motu, I have tried to help users and provide small recommendations before a full fledged revu is made on their packages by MOTU members. I feel very confident in helping new packagers with the tools and helping to point out their problems within packages. Several members from the ubuntu-mythtv team have taken an interest in packaging, and I am currently helping to coach them as well. After helping some users in #ubuntu-motu, persia has approached me and thanked me for helping this summer.

<br>you handle mythtv and related packages, which are definitely some of the more<br>advanced packages. I'm also pleased to see, that you're active when it comes<br>to tracking bugs of mythtv. Also, I appreciate that you work together with
<br>Christian Marillat. Giving back fixes to debian (or in this case<br>debian-multimedia, right?) is very important.<br><br>However being a MOTU means that you can upload any packages in universe and<br>multiverse. Likewise, it requires you to know the various processes involved.
<br><br>Having not sponsored/reviewed any of your work (or at least none that I can<br>recall right now), I need to base my decision mainly on the feedback of your<br>sponsors.<br><br>Thus, I'd also like to see extend your skills a little bit more and get a
