Today at 15:58 UTC the Kubuntu Council approved Darin Miller’s application for becoming a Kubuntu Member<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Darin has been coming to the development channel and taking part in the informal developer meetings on Big Blue Button for a while now, helping out were he can with the packaging and continuous integration. \u00a0His efforts have already made a huge difference.<\/p>\n

Here’s a snippet of his interview:<\/p>\n

<DarinMiller> I have contributed very little independently, but I have helped fix lintian issues, control files deps, and made a very minor mod to one of the KA scripts.
\n<clivejo> minor mod?
\n<acheronuk> very useful mod IIR ^^^
\n<clivejo> I think you are selling yourself short there!
\n-*- clivejo was very frustrated with the tooling prior to that fix
\n<DarinMiller> From coding perspective, it was well within my skillset, so the mod seemed minor to me.
\n<clivejo> well it was much appreciated
\n<yofel> when did you start hanging out here and how did you end up in this channel?
\n<DarinMiller> That’s another reason I like this team. I feel my efforts are appreciated.
\n<DarinMiller> And that encourages me to want to do more.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He is obviously a very modest chap and the Kubuntu team would like to offer him a very warm welcome, as well as greeting him with our hugs and the list of jobs \/ work to be done!<\/p>\n
