About Me

Hello! I'm Alexandre Vassalotti. I am a Ubuntu fan (or should I say addict) since the 5.04 release, the Hoary Hedgehog. It was my first real introduction to a Linux system. Since then, I never stopped to enjoy learning to use it.

My main interests in Ubuntu are support, documentation, packaging, software development and cheerleading. (Am I missing something? ) In short, I love doing anything that is somehow related to Ubuntu.

Contributions

Here a list of some of my contributions.

Documentation

• UbuntuPackagingGuide: I worked with JordanMantha for creating this guide. Since I didn't really knew anything about packaging, when I started it, my contributions were mainly geared toward describing the tools packagers uses. I also written the section called Packaging with Debhelper.

Artwork

• I did several splashes images for Ubuntu for Breezy Badger, that I posted in this [http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?s=ffe1aa1c605891ce200cbc2d3ee9bddb&p=625892&postcount=27 post].

• I did upstart's [http://upstart.ubuntu.com logo], with the help of ScottJamesRemnant. I'm quite proud of the result.

Bug Report

• https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/sbcl/+bug/34257 : My first bug report.

• http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=340422 : This was my first upstream bug I reported.

• https://launchpad.net/products/upstart/+bug/58518 : An upstream bug in upstart.

• https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/libming/+bug/64535 : An UVF exception

Particularly like this one, because it's one of those bug that's only triggered after an exact sequence of steps. It's like a secret code for crashing the application. This is just my favourite bug reports.

Support

I try my best to answer support requests on Launchpad. The list can be found here: [https://launchpad.net/people/thecore/+tickets] I also started a [https://launchpad.net/people/ubuntu-helpteam new team] which is goal is to provide free support to Ubuntu users.

Community

• I started UbuntuTrivia, which is a themed quiz about anything that can be interesting.
