As discussed in the AU chat, I'll review this as I am working on a similar unity lens.

Apologies for taking so long to review your submission, we've been going through a bit of a tools change-over. The Oneiric release of Ubuntu is coming up on Oct 13th, so all existing submissions to the ARB will need to update their submission. This involves retargeting your app to Oneiric, rather than Natty or Maverick. Particularly, in your PPA, you'll need to explicitly submit your package for Oneiric, with a changelog entry such as:

myapp (myapp_0.3.9-0extras11.11.1~oneiric1) oneiric; urgency=low

There have also been changes in the architecture of a Unity Lens for Oneiric, so you'll want to take a look at the updated developer documentation at:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity/Lenses

If we don't hear back from you by the next ARB meeting on Oct 25th, we'll assume you're no longer interested, or have taken one of the other avenues for getting your app into Ubuntu, and will close this ticket. If you miss the deadline but still want to apply, you can always resubmit later through:

http://developer.ubuntu.com/publish/

Thanks for your submission, and for your interest in getting your app into Ubuntu!
