I have focused most of my time on snap things and I help maintain around 40 gnome related snaps. I've also submitted and maintain gnome-shell-extension-manager and 2 of its dependencies in debian, for ubuntu to sync. I've also done some Ubuntu community facing things too: I've been hosting the Ubuntu dekstop team indabas for a little over 2 years. And 16:14 <hellsworth> I've written some technical blog posts on snap things, and Ubuntu Summit blog posts. 16:15 <utkarsh2102> absolutely impressive! 16:15 <utkarsh2102> I’ll open the floor for questions 16:15 <hellsworth> ask away 16:19 <sil2100> Reading all the endorsements, I have no questions myself 16:19 <utkarsh2102> hellsworth: why didn’t you go for upload rights straightaway? 16:19 <utkarsh2102> also what d’you plan on doing after becoming a Ubuntu Contributing dev? 16:19 <bdmurray> hellsworth: Just out of curiousity are any of the sanps you maintain seeded? 16:19 <hellsworth> Well I haven't really been blocked on needing upload rights. My packages have been sponsored in a reasonable amount of time. 16:20 <hellsworth> Well I have worked significantly on the gnome-38-2204-sdk and platform snap. The platform snap is seeded on releases prior to lunar. I've continued to help out on the gnome-42-2204-sdk and its platform snap is seeded on lunar+ 16:21 <hellsworth> the gnome-calculator snap I believe is still seeded 16:21 <hellsworth> we are looking at maybe seeding simple-scan for core-desktop, which I've just gotten updated and working so it is ready for seeding as well. 16:22 <hellsworth> After becoming an Ubuntu Contributing dev, I really plan on doing the same things. 16:22 <hellsworth> I would like to use an ubuntu email address for commits because I think it would be more community centric, instead of using a canonical email address. 16:22 <utkarsh2102> gotcha! 16:24 <hellsworth> While I enjoy working on snaps, I really enjoy deb packaging as well becuase it is more challenging. So my future plans include continuing to improve my skillset there and work towards becoming a debian maintainer, and Jeremy my mentor says I'm ready for that. I wanted to get through this process first though. 16:25 <hellsworth> I would like to contribute more towards deb packaging and become a good +1 maintainer. 16:25 <utkarsh2102> I swear we need that! 16:25 <hellsworth> One day, I'd like to be a core dev but I'm not rushing it. I need more experience first. 16:25 <utkarsh2102> anyway, I’m already good to vote and don’t have any questions 16:26 <utkarsh2102> bdmurray, sil2100: any more questions? 16:26 <bdmurray> not from me 16:28 <utkarsh2102> okay, let’s proceed 16:29 <utkarsh2102> #vote Heather Ellsworth to become an Ubuntu Contributing Developer 16:29 <meetingology> Please vote on: Heather Ellsworth to become an Ubuntu Contributing Developer 16:29 <meetingology> Public votes can be registered by saying +1, -1 or +0 in channel (for private voting, private message me with 'vote +1|-1|+0 #channelname') 16:30 <utkarsh2102> +1; absolutely love the work she has done, look forward to seeing her become core dev soon! 16:30 <meetingology> +1; absolutely love the work she has done, look forward to seeing her become core dev soon! received from utkarsh2102 16:30 <utkarsh2102> +1 from rbasak, too.
