Hi all, Many of you already know me. I've been working on Ubuntu Studio for the past 3 years, basically bringing it back from the dead and moving it to Plasma. Since then, I have become a MOTU and part of the Ubuntu Community Council.
Back in July I appeared on Big Daddy Linux Live to talk about Ubuntu Studio and answer any questions. This attracted the attention of Mike Mikowski of MindShareManagement, the company creating the Kubuntu Focus computers. Back in November, he brought me on to the project, and I am now the Director of User Experience and Packaging as my day job. I also get the privilege of working with Rick Timmis, one of the Kubuntu Counselors. One thing we had been noticing is that Rik Mills is tackling most of the maintenance work by himself, and that the Backports repository can no longer carry the latest Plasma as it could historically since it requires a newer Qt. Having found a solution, I approached Rik about this, and we decided it might be best to create a new PPA for those adventurous enough to have a newer Qt and, therefore, Plasma. Basically, I'd be paid to do this as part of my job. Additionally, I want to help out in whatever way I can, since helping Kubuntu also helps Ubuntu Studio. In order to do this, I respectfully request to join these teams: ~kubuntu-ninjas ~kubuntu-dev ~kubuntu-ppa My launchpad name is ~eeickmeyer Rik and I also discussed perhaps creating a new team to deal with this highly- adventurous endeavour. We plan to discuss this on Saturday the 27th. Let me know if you need anything else. Thanks, Erich -- Erich Eickmeyer Project Leader, Ubuntu Studio Council Member, Ubuntu Community Council
