Hello, thanks for applying!

I'm just curious, what would you consider your best work? can you point to a bug
you're really proud of having triaged?

Nudging bugs forward is quite helpful, but this last one is not a good showcase
of your triaging work I think.

As above. Could you have requested an importance assignment for this bug? Also,
could you have changed the status? I notice it eventually went straight from New
to Fix Committed, which is not ideal, but also not your fault :)

No comments on this one.

Why the move from Triaged to Confirmed? I like your reasoning for the High
importance.

> Cheers,

I've followed the discussion and I'm aware of your reasons for requesting bug
control membership for Ubuntu. But even if you say that the triaging process for
Ubuntu and that for Linaro are not so different, your chosen bugs don't show any
opportunities where you could have exercised knowledge of that process, nor do
they let me see how your own criteria affect the decisions you make as part of
the process. Hence my questions as to your opinions and my request to see some
more triaging work.

I'd be +0 for now, looking at these I just couldn't make an informed decision.
