[16:08] <utkarsh2102> hellu
[16:08] <rbasak> sil2100: are you chairing? I think you were nominated last time?
[16:09] <rbasak> Oh it was utkarsh2102? I'm unclear.
[16:09] <rbasak> The agenda doesn't say.
[16:09] <sil2100> Yeah, I was backup
[16:09] <utkarsh2102> I can if sil2100 is a bit swamped

[16:11] <hellsworth> Hi everyone
[16:11] <utkarsh2102> hellsworth: hey, are you around?
[16:12] <hellsworth> indeed I am :)
[16:12] <hellsworth> thank you for considering my application
[16:12] <utkarsh2102> hi! can you introduce yourself please?
[16:12] <hellsworth> oh sure!
[16:14] <hellsworth> Hello, I'm Heather Ellsworth (hellsworth) and I've been on the desktop team for 3 years. 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
