        of code collaboration. Positive feedback provides by +1 from committers
        while negative by -1. The -1 also means veto and need to be addressed
        to find the consensus. Once there are no objections, PR could be merged.

   ## Overview
   
   Rather than creating a snap package from pre-build binaries, this allows building the snap package directly from source. Makes it possible to use external build automation such as build.snapcraft.io 
   
   ## Testing recommendations
   
   On any Ubuntu 16.04 or newer system, apt install "snapcraft" and then run "snapcraft snap" or "make snap". The resulting .snap file can be installed with "snap install --dangerous *.snap"
