Who I am
I am a member of the Ubuntu Kernel Team, employed by Canonical. My activities to date have included bug fixes for the Ubuntu kernels, a few upstream kernel fixes and improvements, and support for firmware in Ubuntu. I also wrote and maintain the rinputd package as the upstream source and debian package maintainer. Finally, I have been very involved with multitouch work in Ubuntu and the upstream X community.

Contributions To Ubuntu
I started my contributions to Ubuntu by writing rinputd. Shortly after, about half-way through the Lucid cycle, I became a member of the Canonical Kernel Team. I provided numerous bug fixes for the Ubuntu 10.04 LTS kernel.
For the Maverick cycle, I have a few new roles. I am now the primary maintainer of the linux-firmware and linux-firmware-nonfree packages in Ubuntu, and I have been working with David Henningsson to merge firmware from the upstream alsa-firmware releases into linux-firmware. Further, I have been working to ensure that the debugging tools available in the Ubuntu kernel are the best available.
In the past few months I have been concentrating on multitouch support in Ubuntu and upstream X.org. As part of this effort, I have been helping to maintain the Apple Magic Mouse driver in the kernel, and I've been helping drive multitouch efforts on the X.org development mailing list.
Future Plans
I will continue to work as a member of the Canonical Kernel Team to ensure releases of Ubuntu are as stable and feature full as possible. In the near future, I also aim to help upstream X.org implement multitouch, and that work will then flow back into Ubuntu.
