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.

Examples of my work / Things I'm proud of

Areas of work

- Security Uploads
Things I could do better
- Debian packages management

- 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.

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
I've worked with Artur on a handful of items, specifically a couple sponsored security updates and the Ubuntu CVE tracker. On the few things I've seen, his work has been good. I encourage him to continue improving his English as well. -- jdstrand 2010-05-04 16:42:56
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

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.
