Between work, school, and family I just can't find the time to dedicate learning packaging. I am set to graduate Spring '09... My big BUTT in this is that I’m currently in school.

Another thing that's helped me out a lot has been the <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Recipes" title="recipe page" rel="nofollow"> on the MOTU wiki. I'm looking forward to contributing to Hardy Heron, and <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek" title="Ubuntu Open Week" rel="nofollow"> looks like it'll help a lot of people get ready to help out too :) Thanks for the links to the Debian guides, they’ve been really helpful so far.

You won't be able to ask questions this way, but you won't miss the main thing. @Mo: I think the Open Week sessions will be recorder, so you’ll be able to read them afterwards.

It's one way I wish I could contribue back to the community, especially to Kubuntu through KDE apps. I've been using Linux in general for less than 2 years and meet all your criteria :) In fact I actually prefer using the CLI for most tasks...I even tried to learn how to package a few months back but failed miserably. Since then I haven't had much time to devote to it due to a new job and different schedules. So I never really trekked to IRC for help. As much as I would love to give it another shot and be a part of Ubuntu OpenWeek, unfortunately I'm going to be out of town for training during Open Week. Any suggestions?

I did exactly that as well, that way there if I was starting to feel burned out doing one thing, I could always start working on another goal to hopefully alleviate the feeling of burning out. @Sirrus: Thanks for that, I have gone ahead and updated the link in the post.
