We got most of this adressed but there is still work to convince them we are a credible group, or incredible 😇

I know you've put this on the agenda for this week's Tech Board meeting, and I'm only now posting my follow-up questions, which will give you practically no time to collect answers. Still, I'm posting here so that we have a record of the questions, and we can discuss further as necessary both during the IRC meeting and afterwards.

This post did see some discussion during the previous TB meeting, and the main concern raised is whether this project is sustainable. All of our flavors have upstreams for their desktop components that have a demonstrated track record of maintaining this software. We certainly cannot expect a desktop such as Unity to continue to work without developers actively working on the software. Which source packages in the archive are you proposing that this package will maintain as part of this flavor? Which source packages are you relying on others to maintain? Does your team have an existing track record of uploading to the Ubuntu archive those packages that you will be maintaining? Which source packages, and which members of your team? Are the members of your team who have done these uploads committed to carrying this work forward? (To be specific: I see several members on your team who are Canonical employees and may be emotionally invested in the project, and have uploaded these packages in the past when they were maintained by Canonical; but this does not necessarily mean they are personally committed to shouldering this work going forward.) Who on your team has upload rights to the packages in this set? Who are you proposing should have upload rights? > U+1 - Ubuntu Development Releases Testing Team in Launchpad > launchpad.net > Visit the team wiki at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/U+1 for more information.
