| In the year 1999 at the age of 9 a great dream/inspiration to move into and practice core and charismatic computing was born and i began experimenting on software (both application and system software) of any computer i could lay my hands on as at then. I began to study Desktop publishing/Designing and then my interest in computers went far beyond that and then i got more and more interested in programming/softwares and anything concerning computer security and Networking and also i also got interested in Engineering aspect of computing and most importantly highly interested in developing people/raising people that will flow with me in the world of computing so that we could work collaboratively as a team to achieve a common goal, though it has not been achieved yet but i am still working on it hard but believe it is not easy. My great quest and high taste in freewill/freedom/open source computing moved me away from Microsoft products and then landed me to UNIX/Linux operating systems/Applications and then i was now being introduced to Ubuntu/Ubuntu Community which is a place/base/primer for the real achievement of my dreams in core/charismatic computing (i.e Knowing the Philosophy/all about Computers. I have been part of various computer centers/Institutions in Nigeria just to keep the computing fire burning, burning and burning. |

| I have been a lover of opensource softwares/applications dealing strictly on computer security, networking and general programming but still confused about how to go about it (i mean how to go about the opensource softwares/applications) until i read a post online written by someone i suspect to be an Ubuntu user. In his post at (http://en.kioskea.net/forum/affich-139437-i-want-to-download-the-unix-operating-system) he gave a link on where we can download a UNIX operating system (http://www.ubuntu.com/GetUbuntu/download), because that was my major focus (getting and installing a UNIX operating system). I downloaded and installed it and also loved and appreciated it and that is exactly why i am highly interested in joining the Ubuntu Community. I want to give back to Ubuntu. Ubuntu is very fast at installations, booting and shutting down, infact i am highly impressed by the great works of Ubuntu so far. | All members of the development community are welcome to attend and ask questions, add your feedback (even if unsolicited) to the application wiki page or ask questions of an applicant on the [[https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/devel-permissions|devel-permissions mailing list]]. |

When to apply for team membership
It can be difficult to know when you are ready to apply for uploader team membership. Here are some guidelines:
- There is no minimum number of sponsored uploads into the archive that you need to have. You need to have demonstrated enough previous work to be able to assure your endorsers that you can be trusted with unsupervised upload access to the primary archive.
- On your application wiki page, you will describe your areas of work. As a guideline, the DMB will expect to see that you have demonstrated competence in at least those areas.
- At least some of your endorsers should be your (future) peers. If you are applying for upload rights to a package set, for example, we will expect to see your fellow set members providing endorsements.
- You should have knowledge of the Ubuntu release cycle and processes (for example SRUs)
- It is nice and probably makes your application easier if you are a part of the development community. Please consider hanging out on IRC and joining in with discussing and helping new contributors.
- You are encouraged to participate in peer review and to help with the training of new developers. This will help to make your application stronger.
Applying for team membership
To become a Contributing Developer, MOTU, per-package uploader, Core Developer or developer of a delegated team for which the DMB handles applications, you must apply to the Developer Membership Board, via the following process:
Create a dedicated wiki page for your application, using the UbuntuDevelopment/DeveloperApplicationTemplate.
Ask other developers to endorse your application by adding information to your wiki page. A typical application will have three to five endorsements. Developers who sponsored several uploads for you are good candidates.
Announce your application by email to the devel-permissions mailing list. Please allow at least one week between the announcement of your application and the meeting at which the application is considered. The Developer Membership Board will consider a maximum of two applicants per meeting — if the agenda already lists two applicants for the next meeting, please attend the next free date (meetings are held every two weeks).
Add your name, the team to which you are applying and the date of the meeting to the Developer Membership Board Agenda.
- Attend the meeting
All members of the development community are welcome to attend and ask questions, add your feedback (even if unsolicited) to the application wiki page or ask questions of an applicant on the devel-permissions mailing list.
The Developer Membership Board will have prepared for the meeting (reviewed the application details, checked a few examples of your work, talked to sponsors, etc.) and ask questions to make sure the applicant qualifies for the team. During the meeting the DMB members will cast their votes and if quorum is reached (4 of 7 currently), will add the applicant to the team or ask to re-apply in due time.
