+When you feel your charm is ready for submission to your personal name space,

+
+For the purpose of this documentation, we will call our charm `ubucharm`
+To have your charm listed as a charmer team recommended charm, you have to
+under-go a rigorous review process where we evaluate the charm, evaluate tests
+for your charm, and deploy & run tests against the provided service with
+different configuration patterns.

+after following the Submission Process outlined above:
+
1. File a bug against charms at [https://launchpad.net/charms/+filebug](https://launchpad.net/charms/+filebug) This is used to track the progress of your charm.
1. Now you just need to attach your branch to the bug report, go to [your code page](https://code.launchpad.net/people/+me), find your branch, and click on it. Then click on "Link a bug report", and put in the number of the bug you filed. If you are submitting to multiple releases please make one bug per release.
1. Subscribe the `charmers` team by clicking "Subscribe someone else" on the right side of the launchpad page. This is important as it gets your charm in the review queue!
