Overall
I hope to help bring Kubuntu upto the level of Polish and usability of its sibling Ubuntu. There are varying ideas about how this can be accomplished and following some of the spec's outlined in UDS Paris 2006 I feel that we can address the majority of those in the edgy time frame and have a realistic Goal of true Kubuntu "sibling" by edgy+1. Specifically I will be helping address these spec's from the Kubuntu point of View to help this happen :
And Also the various "transitions" for KDE packages such as [https://wiki.kubuntu.org/KubuntuEdgyPackageUpdates libgamin0 transition] and the now Complete dh_iconcache Transition
Short(er) Term ( a.k.a Universe / Multiverse Work )
- Continue to help Maintain KBFX in Ubuntu and Upstream;Upstream and also support it ( and other Kubuntu apps ) in IRC and the Forums
- Continue to Maintain the apt-mirror package I helped bring to Ubuntu and work on getting it included into Debian proper
- Continue to work on merges from Debian Unstable to Edgy Universe that pertain to KDE ( trying to give more love to the more un-popular KDE packages so a wide variety are upto date in universe )
Follow the Debian BTS and Malone Bug Trackers Closely for Universe KDE packages and make sure they get the patches needed from Upstream and Upstream;UpStream in a timely manner
Long(er) Term ( a.k.a Main Work )
- Continue work with Kopete
- Continue Work with Amarok
Contributions
Various contributions to the Kubuntu section of the forum at http://www.ubuntuforums.org/
- I'm often ( most every evening until early morning CDT ) on irc.freenode.net, helping out in #kubuntu, #kubuntu-offtopic, and participating in #kubuntu-devel, #ubuntu-motu. Also Helping Moderate those channels
- Bug reports - either contributing them myself, or testing for them. Often I go through and confirm whether old bugs still exist and apply patches that people have added to launchpad.net / testing them / and sending debdiff's for motu upload.
- A few patches, and building packages listed on my Launchpad.net Page ( Also Including Kopete work in Edgy and KBFX in dapper not listed on LP that were sponsored uploads )
Various misc wiki page updates ( mostly typos and updates for changes in HowTo's that ubotu points to )
- Various misc wiki updates also for the CategoryMOTU cleanup
