I, Artur Rona, apply for MOTU.
Who I am
My name is Artur and I study logistics. I'm from Tczew and my moniker is Ari - so these are components of my nickname.
My Ubuntu story
I did first run Linux in 2005. This was Aurox, a Polish distribution (currently commercialized). I got a kernel panic and my Aurox crashed forever. Then I heard about Ubuntu as user-friendly distro based on great Linux server system which is Debian. I bought a second HDD and I installed there Ubuntu 6.06 LTS. I ran Linux occasionally. Since December 2007 I started using Ubuntu as my main operating system on my PC.
Since March 2009 I've started learn about packaging Debian/Ubuntu packages.
My involvement
Examples of my work / Things I'm proud of
334164 - first expierence with packaging, cooperate with Alessio Treglia and Benjamin Drung
339661 - fix issue for kadu - messenger from my country
439396 - cooperate with other people on merge
427539 - help in getting maven into karmic
521666 - involvement in the discussion about fakesyncs
538376 - coordinate contact to fix broken package
421684 - fix very ardous issue in obexd by SRU
549009 - help in getting clementine-player into Ubuntu
Areas of work
- Merges
- Syncs
- Security Uploads
Things I could do better
- Debian packages management
- Minimalize Ubuntu's delta
- Full Ubuntu security sector support
Plans for the future
General
I want to invite contributors from my country and help them with start packaging. Besides this, I want to implement Ubuntu Quick Response Strategy (my own).
What I like least in Ubuntu
I'm concerned of:
- unactive sponsors since joined MOTU
- too long response from sponsors for main and SRU due to many bugs subscribed
I want to encourage the implementation of Ubuntu Quick Response Strategy.
Comments

Artur has done some security updates in universe (e.g. drupal) which have worked out well. He contributes to the Ubuntu CVE tracker, and looks for packages to fix. While not his native language, he's working to improve his use of English. -- kees 2010-05-04 07:13:54

Artur has been doing a lot of good universe security contributions lately, and I hope to see him continue in the future. -- mdeslaur 2010-05-05 12:53:58
During the review bugs from 'Areas of Improvement', please note the date on bugs comments (a few months ago). Now I've been improve my skill packaging and I remember to be more careful. -- ari-tczew 2010-05-08 11:09:08
Endorsements
As a sponsor, just copy the template below, fill it out and add it to this section.
Benjamin Drung
General feedback
I have sponsored many sync requests and merges (at least 23). They were well described and I had nothing to criticize. I think that Artur is a great asset for the MOTU team. We need more people, who help reducing the sponsors queue.

Daniel Holbach (dholbach)
General feedback
Artur put a lot of work into Ubuntu Development and has improved his skills a lot in the last few months. I almost exclusively reviewed syncs/merges/etc from Artur and hope that he is involved in other tasks of day-to-day maintenance too.

General feedback
Artur is putting a lot of work into Ubuntu (I sponsored almost 30 sync / merge during last cycle). His level of English improved a lot lately, but there is still situations in which it makes more complex to work with him because of that. In general, I'd like him to work on more diverse topics, other than sync and merge (that may be the case, but I didn't sponsored one)

Everybody makes mistakes, but my feeling is that Artur should be more careful.
Also, I still remember him being upset because he wasn't able to find available sponsors for Main. He should be more patient (even a MOTU needs to be patient sometimes ).
