At first I was developing cloud technologies such as qpid and their packages to be distributed through a PPA. Shortly thereafter I joined Canonical and was able to focus my attention full time on package creation, bug fixes, and other contributions.'' == My involvement == Previously I worked full time for Canonical as a sustaining engineer where our focus is bug fixing and upholding a standard of quality for all involved customers. Recently I've changed jobs within Canonical and now do research and development for our cloud technologies such as MaaS and Juju. == Examples of my work / Things I'm proud of == My greatest accomplishment so far has been bringing sosreport into Debian and as a result Ubuntu. As of Trusty sosreport is included in the main archive and on cd media. This is a great added feature to companies that require the use of sosreport in their support organizations such as Dell. https://github.com/sosreport Another project I am proud of is Ubuntu cloud installer. This aims to ease the installation of MAAS, Juju, and Openstack into a more turnkey solution. https://github.com/Ubuntu-Solutions-Engineering/cloud-installer I constantly blog about my interactions and contributions to Ubuntu: http://astokes.org/category/ubuntu/ == Areas of work == My future area of work will be on the Cloud installer along with MAAS and Juju contributions/bug fixes. == Things I could do better == Increase my productivity by stream lining my work items for the different projects I am involved in. = Plans for the future = == General == To continue to be apart of the evolution of cloud computing and maintaining a strict level of quality in projects I am involved with. == What I like least in Ubuntu == I wouldnt say I like this the least and it is changing for the better but the initial QA/CI testing was alarming when sending these products out into the wild. But, like I said it has changed and I feel is on the right track. ---- = Comments = ''If you'd like to comment, but are not the applicant or a sponsor, do it here.
