I, Alessio Treglia, apply for core-dev.

Who I am

I am Alessio, I live in Aprilia, a small city near Rome and I study Computer Engineering at the University of RomaTre.

My Ubuntu story

My experience with Ubuntu began with Dapper Drake and, since the first time, I was fascinated by the Ubuntu Code of Conduct. Few weeks later, I started to contribute to Italian Community growth in different ways, at first giving support in technical boards of the italian forums and in IRC channels, then reporting bugs and writing and reviewing howtos for the Italian wiki. My work was appreciated by wiki administrators so I was appointed as wiki editor on May 2007. In the same period I started to contribute to Italian translations (software and documentation) and one month later I became an Ubuntu Italian LoCo team official member.

I started to contribute to Ubuntu development during the Intrepid cycle, without any precise goal but I tried to get experience in most of the development processes, through merges, syncs, fixes and SRUs, without focusing on a specific area of development.

Now I am an Ubuntu Developer and a Debian Developer.

My involvement

I am involved in Ubuntu as Ubuntu MOTU Developer and I also contribute to the Debian Multimedia Maintainers team as co-maintainer for a number of audio&video production packages, in particular I focus my attention on sound synthesis and processing tools like synthesizers (bristol, alsa modular, ams, ...), filters, samplers, editors (snd, lives, etc) and more. Obviously, I try to properly maintain those packages for both Debian and Ubuntu by uploading new upstreams' stable releases, triaging and fixing bugs.
