Intro
This is meant as a, hopefully helpful, template you can align to when creating your application.
Do not edit this page itself, unless you really want to improve the template.
Please also read:
Title
Please use this title structure: Application - $Target - $YourName
- Application - is just a fix word to allow us to sort and filter entries if we ever have other posts in this sub-category
$Target- is the set of permissions you apply to, examples- Contributing Developer
- PPU curl
- PPU curl and vim
- Server package set
- MOTU
- Core-Developer
$YourName- well, the way you identify yourself
Document body
I, <YOUR NAME>, apply for <PPU|MOTU|core-dev|upload rights for package-set/package(s) <X>>.
Contact Information:
- Name:
<YOUR NAME> - Launchpad Page:
<link to your launchpad page> - Matrix username:
@todo-username:todo-someserver.tld
I am applying because:
Remove any reasons that don’t apply, add any extra reasons and edit as needed. These examples are the common cases, but are not a hard requirement for applications. Other reasons are fine too.
- I’d like to eliminate delays in getting my work sponsored.
- I’d like to reduce the burden on my sponsors.
- I’d like to be able to sponsor work of others
- …
Who I am
Tell us a bit about yourself.
My Ubuntu story
Tell us how and when you got involved, what you liked working on and what you could probably do better.
Examples of my work / Things I’m proud of
- Refer to your existing sponsored uploads
- You can link directly to an upload by following this pattern.
- For depth you can refer to uploads to show common sponsors and the scale of your work via the Sponsorship Miner.
- For width you can refer to a de-duplicated list of packages you touched so far via a launchpad view
- If there are other strong examples they can help add them too, but please ensure to at least cover the packages/set for which you are seeking upload rights.
- There is more than only package uploads, if you have had other project contributions that you are proud of, especially if they matter in the context that you apply to list them here
Areas of work
Let us know what you worked on, with which development teams / developers you cooperated and how it worked out.
Things I could do better
Honest self reflection never is bad
Plans for the future
General
It is helpful to understand well what you’ll likely do with your new permissions
What I like least in Ubuntu
Please describe what you like least in Ubuntu and what thoughts you have about fixing it.
