== Background ==

I began using Linux with Mandrake 7.1 sometime around 1999 or 2000.  I soon switched to Debian Potato and onto Debian Sid shortly thereafter and have been using Debian-based distros ever since.  I worked for Lindows/Linspire., Inc. from 2003-2007 as the Packaging Team lead on the Services Team.  I began working for Canonical in 2007 in a similar role.


== Ubuntu ==

Some various contributions I've made to Ubuntu:

 *Manage all packages in the Canonical Partner Repository.
 *Manage all packages in the "For Purchase" section of the Software Center.
