Hey quick question. We just pushed snap into Fedora [1]. I'm largely 
familiar w/ the Fedora process, but was wondering if someone could 
advise on the best way to get this package into Ubuntu. I submitted it 
to Debian [2], but is there a better way to make it available (I do ship 
it via my own apt repo [3]).

This is my first package I'm submitting to Debian / Ubuntu, so that'd 
have to be taken into consideration. Do ya'll do review swaps? Perhaps I 
could review a package in exchange for someone reviewing mine?

In any case, alot of updates have been pushed to Snap recently (see the 
commit log [4] and latest release notes [5] for some examples) and we're 
working on adding some cool new features including the ability to 
convert snapshots of one system to another (for example a Fedora 
snapshot to Ubuntu and vice-versa).

Stay tuned for more updates!
