Application for ubuntu-desktop membership - Alessandro Astone

[Alessandro Astone]

Hi there,

I am applying to become a member of the ubuntu-desktop team.

Here's a document I had prepared showcasing my background and my 
contributions in Ubuntu: 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/aleasto/ContributingDeveloperApplication

Some additional information on my way of working is available in this 
interview with an (ex) DMB member: 
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/devel-permissions/2025-April/002822.html

That was intended for my Ubuntu Contributing Developer application, but 
the DMB has been rather unresponsive, so after over 3 months of waiting 
I have decided to skip that step.

Since applying for Contributing Developer, I've gained additional 
experience with preparing an upload thanks to the sru-staging 
repository, which is why I feel ready to apply for upload rights: 
https://launchpad.net/~canonical-desktop-team/+archive/ubuntu/sru-staging

I am applying to reduce the burden on my sponsors, and increase the 
throughput of fixes we can deliver to our users.

Please reach out if you have any doubts or comments.
Thank you for considering my application,

Alessandro
