Application for ubuntu-desktop membership - Alessandro Astone

[Sebastien Bacher]

Hey Alessandro,

Strong +1 from me, you have been one of the most active contributors to 
the ubuntu-desktop set over the past cycles and having direct access 
will make the work more efficient for you and the rest of the team and 
allow you to mentor new team members.

For those interested in more detailed feedback feel free to check the 
section I wrote in Alessandro's DeveloperApplication wikipage which 
mostly apply to the desktop set.

Cheers,
Sébastien Bacher
