Just to make it clear, the only thing blocking on Michael's application at this time, are further comments from his other sponsors that have yet replied to his application. After that, then the MC will vote on his application. Just because a couple of people had concerns, doesn't mean his application is blocked. Just a clarification. To the rest of the comments that were made on the topic of the "New Application Process": https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopers#CoreDev There is a brief description of what is required prior to applying for Core Developer. I think a majority of the time, the people who are applying to be a core-dev, a majority of us know who that person is, how that person is in the community, and what we can expect from that person. We utilize the sponsor comments and other stuff in their application just in case one of the voting members is unfamiliar with that person for various reasons. I am definitely fond of some of the Debian questions. The questions that were put on the bottom of our proposal was really used just to get some generalized answers to gauge the applicant's personality a little, especially if we have never met that person in person, or if one of the voters isn't familiar with that person. I really love the feedback we are getting thus far, and I look forward to more, where we can tweak the proposal and eventually turn it into something golden :) -- Richard JOHNSON Developer, http://www.kubuntu.org [email protected] GPG: 2E2C0124
