The Start of a MOTU Journey
March 30th, 2007A few days ago, I have added #ubuntu-motu to Konversation’s auto-join list. This marks a new phase in my adventures in FOSS-land: learning how to package stuff for Kubuntu. The MOTU, or the Masters of the Universe, are the people in charge of maintaining the packages in the universe and multiverse repositories of Ubuntu. So the process of learning how to package properly for Kubuntu starts with the MOTU.
And with my MOTU journey comes my MOTU logbook. I plan to “document” my journey into the world of packaging, from start to finish (presuming there’s a “finish” at all). I’m going to write/blog about steps that I would take, people I would meet, things to keep in mind, etc. It might sound a bit crazy and impractical to do these things. My purpose for doing it, besides having my own notes, is to have a sort of reference for other people wanting to get into packaging, too. Hopefully, my notes would be able to help other aspiring packagers and discover possible problems with current documents/guides.
As they say, the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Hope I don’t trip. 
Up next: Wading through a sea of resources.
Just some small updates, while I'm trying to get off my ass and migrate the site completely to Textpattern.
