Goals

  • Make the world secure! Far too few people known what SSL or VPN is, even fewer people knows how to use it. I want to help Ubuntu get a good platform for VPN and handling certificates.

Background

  • My first encounter with Linux was with RedHat 5.2, around -96

Work

==== Currently maintaining ===

==== Currently packing ===

  • Freenet Frost (lib)Wrapper iFolder libSocket++ Winekeyd

Ubuntu Activities

Launchpad

Post-Warty

  • I spent a fair amount of time in #ubuntu, both receiving support for issues in my environment, and assisting others with issues in theirs.

Pre-Breezy

  • I prepared patches to address issues with my unusual hardware, began to prepare .desktop files for inclusion in packages, and wrote some scripts to automate .desktop generation from the Debian menu system. I spent a fair amount of time triaging bugs, and participated in several Bug Days, including acting as primary coordinator for the 17th September Bug Day.

Wiki Pages:

Pre-Dapper

  • I continued to triage bugs, and participate in #ubuntu-bugs. I also began to work on the .desktop files in earnest, drafting many and preparing icons for packages that lacked them. As the release approached, I assisted with some of the topic targets from #ubuntu-motu, including merges, libjack0.80->libjack0.100 transtion, dh_iconcache addition, libopenal0->libopenal0a transition, and preparing new upstreams to target high-profile bugs.

Wiki Pages:

Pre-Edgy

  • I spent some time guiding others towards the creation of more .desktop files, and triaged more bugs.

Pre-Feisty

  • I assisted with merges and sync planning, preparing patches for bugs, and providing support and guidance to participants in #ubuntu-bugs and #ubuntu-motu.

Wiki Pages:

  • ["Bugs/HowToFix"] ["MOTU/Launchpad/Guide"]

Pre-Gutsy

  • I have assisted with merges, processed the libflac++5c2->libflac++5 transition, am spearheading the wxwindows2.4 -> wxwidgets2.6 migration, and generating patches to various bugs.

Wiki Pages:

  • ["MOTU/wx2.4Migration"] ["MOTU/Packages/DesktopFiles"]

Future Plans

  • I expect to keep maintaining "my" packages (particularly teg, vegatrike, and torcs), submitting patches for things that annoy me, creating .desktop files, and helping MOTU efforts here and there.
