For SRU it isn't too hard to work with sponsorship either. I am happy to sponsor your changes, I'll read all bug mail where ~ubuntu-sru is subscribed anyway. This would be a good path towards upload rights IMHO. <div class="Ih2E3d"> > If the general consensus is there is a preference for me to become a MOTU > first, then graduate to core-dev, that's fine, just let me know what the > desired course of action is.

I am not so much fussed about MOTU vs. core-dev, but rather seeing some Ubuntu contributions/SRUs from you, to see that you understand the Ubuntu specific processes. </blockquote></div> Okay, I shall plod along with some attempts at fixes to Hardy for a bit (how long, couple of months?) and then check back in again. regards Andrew -- Andrew Pollock Google Systems Administrator
