Ubuntu Contributions
Jaunty Development
Mainline kernel packaging - I am involved in a Jaunty project to automatically package mainline kernels to simplify Ubuntu regression detection (see KernelMainlineBuilds),
suspend/resume stress testing - one of the Kernel Teams Jaunty goals is to improve suspend/resume fucntionality, I am involved developing the stress testing and the automated reporting harness (see SuspendResumeTesting), and
Kernel tree management review - I performed a review of our tree management proceedures to help document the current processes and see how they could be improved. (see KernelTeam/Specs/JauntyKernelTreeManagement)
Bugs
One of my primary roles is to triage and fix bugs in the Ubuntu linux kernel and associated packages.
Packaging
I have produced a number of fixes for packages relating to the kernel, I have produced a number of uploads and had them sponsored including changes to:
- module-init-tools
- dkms
- pm-utils
- linux-lpia
- alsa-driver
I have also been working with packages hosted in bzr, pushing up a number of changes to:
- apport
- gnome-power-manager
