Hello,
Per discussion at the TB meeting today, the next steps are:
- Apply to the DMB to get a MATE packageset defined and have you as an
uploader, for that, please follow the regular application for PPU
(you'll need testimonials from past sponsors and a wiki page detailing
your experience).
- Have you (after you get PPU) or another existing uploader (or
uploaders) be the official development point of contact for the flavour.
- Check with Canonical IS that there's sufficient space on nusakan
(cdimage builder), Launchpad (livefs build storage) and cdimage
frontends for a new flavour.
- Apply again to the TB to make the flavour official.Thanks.
