Endorsement of Membership/MOTU

I will be unable to attend the meeting, so I hope no one minds that I am placing my endorsement of Kevin here. As you have probably seen, Kevin has a solid history of activity in Launchpad, including triaging bugs (both in LP and upstream), and specifications. Kevin is an active contributor to Gnome projects, particularly Beagle. He has been known to fix bugs and contribute new features. He carries a good rapport with the upstreams he has mentioned, and will surely fit right in to the Ubuntu desktop team.

Kevin is a capable packager, but could use a little more experience to master the more esoteric pieces. I would also endorse him for MOTU after a few more sponsored uploads.

Thanks for your consideration, Brandon Hale
