Hi All,

As always, I am quite busy, but I just wanted to let you all know that I
am now a DD. Thank you all for your encouragement, and for quickly
giving me DM rights & sponsoring NEW stuff when it was required.

I also wanted to give Jaromir some encouragement to apply! It doesn't
matter how long the process takes, and you will probably learn a few
extra things in the process (I did). I remember the last time it came up
on the list (the subject of you becoming DD), you got a lot of
encouragement from the team. Once a DD, it will save your teammates from
some sponsorship tasks & giving DM rights.

Just start here (https://www.debian.org/devel/join/newmaint), have a
read, apply, and kick of the process.

Regards,

Ross

as one who has sponsored you (off-team) and worked with you in the
multimedia-team, i can only say: count me in if you need an advocate.

I agree with Jonas. Just do it. I'll add just one more comment:

> I know I am not a guru like most of you in the team

This is not relevant. What is important is to know when you don't
know, and then to know where to look for the relevant information, or
where to ask for help.

Do it!

Was that enough encouragement? :-)

My Status in Debian

2017-04-22 Thread Ross Gammon
Hi Team,

I know I am not a guru like most of you in the team, and that and my busy life 
means I am a little slow sometimes, and haven't produced a lot of work in the 
team. But I also spend a lot of my time working on dependencies (javascript & 
python) for
packages in the GIS team, and I also work on Ubuntu Studio (which is why I am 
interested in Multimedia packages).

Anyway, one of my other sponsors has stated a few times when I have
asked for DM rights for something, that maybe it was time to step up to
DD status.

I am in no hurry (probably would aim to take the plunge towards the
middle of the year). And I wouldn't do it until there was wider support
for that. So any words of encouragement, or any suggestions of things
that you would like to see from me before you would endorse me are
welcome (here or in private).

Regards,

Ross
