Future Goals

My future goal as part of the Toolchains team is to continue enhancing the developer experience and stability of Go on Ubuntu

As for me personally, I would focus on improving my distro skills to gain the required upload rights so I can perform my work more smoothly.

Hi,

I would like to add an endorsement for Anshul.

I have sponsored golang 1.24.4 backports and console-setup merge. The latter required doing the full merge process including isolating the logical changes.

Anshul is involved in a number of distro processes: backports and transitions for Go toolchain, Main Inclusion Request, and package merges from Debian.

I hope that being a Contributing Developer will help him to move towards having upload rights for Go toolchain packages.
