Hello, Sorry for the late response, I was on vacation followed by a period of having little spare time, with regards to work and family. I did agree to sponsor the TU application of Jean Lucas, provided he found another sponsor, but was not aware that he had sent his application without any mentoring on my part. I am not in favor of how the TU application process turned out, nor the idea of moving proprietary software packages to [community], but I'll stand by my word and sponsor him if there is another sponsor. In general, we need more TUs and Devs and I think we should have a process that feels less judgemental on the applicants (ref. the application from Drew DeVault that sadly did not join us as a TU). If someone dislikes a TU application, it's easy to vote "no" in the vote that follows. Best regards, Alexander F. Rødseth
