Hi Conny,

You have reached the Ubuntu South Africa LoCo (Local Community) Team.

To get an application packaged in Ubuntu, you should rather be talking
to the MOTU (Masters of the Universe) team who maintain
community-supported packages.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU

Also note the process for getting a new package included:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Packages/New

Finally, please note https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases - Ubuntu
releases a new stable version every 6 months. New packages are generally
only considered for inclusion in the version under development (in this
case, "Gutsy Gibbon" which would be released in October 2007).

To provide a package for the current stable version - 7.04, you would
need to host your own Ubuntu-compatible deb repository which people
would need to add to their package manager to obtain your packages.

Good luck!

Regards
Morgan
