My Contributions
Ubuntu Development
I contribute bug fixes to Ubuntu and help to maintain the quality of packages in the Ubuntu archive by doing tasks like helping in Python transitions, fixing FTBFSs, merging, syncing, updating ubuntu-only packages from upstream, etc (the list is long).
A list of packages I've worked on can be found on https://launchpad.net/~bilalakhtar/+uploaded-packages.
Recently I have also begun to work on the Debian project by fixing RC bugs, and maintaining my packages (currently only 2 packages, but 2 more are awaiting sponsoring review).
I became Contributing Developer in July 2010 and MOTU in September 2010. The respective applications are found on these links:
The Papercuts project
I regularly contribute patches to Ubuntu to fix papercuts registered against the Papercuts project.
