Thank you for your contribution to Debian.
It’s was my first package accepted in Ubuntu, and now my first package in Debian! Thanks Luca Bruno for sponsoring this package
Although I don’t know If I’ll be able to handle 5-a-day, I’ll give it my absolute best!

My 5 today: #192812 (ktorrent-kde4), #187101 (kmldonkey-kde4), #192296 (kdiamond-kde4), #72208 (ncpfs), #179931 (gnome-compiz-manager)
Do 5 a day - every day! https://wiki.ubuntu.com/5-A-Day
On the MOTU track… With some guidance and expert help (on -motu and #kubuntu-devel), I was able to get a few packages into Hardy before FF. (of course the next day, new updates were available….) chm2pdf, kgrab-kde4, lemonpos-kde4, and kdiamond-kde4. Kdiamond is an awesome game and has an update pending an FF exception (with much nicer graphics)
I set a goal midway through last year to become a MOTU. After a few attempts, and frustrated days trying to figure out what the heck cdbs or diff.gz or any of the developers jargon is, my interest in maintaining weaned.
With the new year starting, (and a few days off of work) I decided to put a full force effort into my goal of becoming a MOTU. With big thanks to many people in #ubuntu-motu and #kubuntu-devel, I am approaching a point that I will actually know what I don’t know.
I spent the first bit of the week reacquainting myself with packaging basics, and the packaging process. What I should have also done is also familiarize myself with contributing.
I spent a good bit of the week anoying sponsors by not following the proper bug managment process in Launchpad, but I can say with confidence I will follow the proper process from now on.
All and all, it’s been a great week. I am excited about actually getting a couple of package updates uploaded! I look forward to getting acclimated to the Debian control and rules files, and attempting a package from scratch.
P.S. If there are any MOTU teams out there that want help with grunt work, I’m all game.

Here are the long awaited pictures of our shiny new backroom.

the previous 3 photo’s are of the tillage area. Much different eh?

This is the fixture area. You can see Jim hiding in the first picture.

These are shots of the main processing center.

A big Thanks to Richard Johnson for getting me hooked on KDE!
