I, Angel Abad, apply for MOTU.

Who I am

I'm Angel Abad, spanish (Basque Country) and 32. I'm free software entusiast since 14 when I met linux and gnu with one Slackware distribution. I'm sysadmin and I use Debian for my servers and Ubuntu for my desktop computers. I'm Debian Official Maintainer in Debian Developer applicant process.

My Ubuntu story

I use Ubuntu for 3 years more or less in my desktop computers and I feel very confortable using it. I contributed Debian and more or less one year ago I started to contribute in Ubuntu too. If I use it I try to contribute it...

My involvement

At the moment Im contributing with merges, syncs and some bug fixes and ftbs through sponsors, and when I have time I work reporting bugs to upstream authors and tracking this bugs, making conexion betweeen launchpad and upstream bug system.

Also my Debian packages are imported into Ubuntu, I co-work with Debian Perl Team and some packages with Python Team.
