[ubuntu-mythtv] Mythbuntu developer application

[Thomas Mashos]

Name: Thomas Mashos

Who I am: A Mythbuntu developer that apparently doesn't have access to his
own software.

My Ubuntu Story: I got into Mythbuntu when it was being founded, which was
April 2007. At that point I didn't know much about creating software, but
was willing to help document things and triage bugs. Through the support of
Mario Limonciello and Daviey Walker, I am now able to contribute in more of
a development role.

Areas of work: I'm the creator or mythbuntu-bare, mythbuntu-repos, and
mythbuntu-log-grabber. I've written documentation, triaged bugs, submitted
patches, reproduced issues, and assisted in distributing Mythbuntu.

Things I could do better: I could submit software for inclusion into Debian,
rather that deal with attempting to get my software that was written
specifically for Mythbuntu into the Ubuntu archives.

Plans for the future: To continue to patch my software that is already in
the archive and use PPA's for everything else.

Examples of my work: See Mythbuntu-bare, mythbuntu-repos,
mythbuntu-log-grabber.

What I like least in Ubuntu: The red tape required to get things into the
repositories. How there always seems to be one more hoop to jump through. An
attempt in making it easier for the Mythbuntu team to patch software that we
are responsible for has left me without the ability to commit anything to my
Mythbuntu bzr branches.
