I was quite surprised and humbled to learn from DanielHolbach this morning that I had been nominated to the 2011 Ubuntu Technical Board elections. (I hold each of the current board members in such lofty regards, that the thought of filling their shoes is really quite intimidating!) I've been an Ubuntu user since 2006, joining Canonical's Ubuntu Server Team in February 2008, and becoming an Ubuntu MOTU and Core Developer in the following year. I live and breathe Ubuntu, running on nearly every device in my possession, and having donated numerous others to friends, families, and schools. Ubuntu is much, much more than a job to me -- I spend countless hours working on the project, both "on the clock" and "off". I firmly believe that the Ubuntu Code of Conduct is one of the most important documents in modern Internet social interaction, and that the Ubuntu Community is its leading bastion to the rest of the world. I hope to live and work and interact by the principles therein. I would be delighted and honored to serve on the Ubuntu Technical Board. |

== Ubuntu Membership Endorsements == I support Dustin's quest to become a Ubuntu member. He has showed alot of knowledge and experience that I appreciate. He would be a good member of the community -- ChuckShort (zul) Dustin's done great work, and he's a quick learner. Big +1 from me as well. -- KeesCook (kees) I'm happy that I get to work with Dustin every day. He's very enthusiastic about Ubuntu and I'd certainly consider him ubuntu member material. -- SorenHansen == Ubuntu MOTU Endorsements == Dustin has been a very enthusiastic and knowledgeable Ubuntu developer for several months now, and I have had long and great discussions with him. He mastered the day-to-day packaging arts and never hesitates to ask for advice when in doubt. He has clear goals for the server area and is working on them consistently. I am happy to advocate him to become a MOTU. -- MartinPitt (pitti) I'm a advocate of Dustin gaining MOTU privileges. He's conscientious and has a good knack for finding well thought out compromises when weighing conflicting needs. I've been very happy with the quality the packaging work I've seen. -- KeesCook (kees) I've been following Dustin's work on several projects and have been impressed with how he not only solves a given problem, but looks for ways to solve that entire class of problems. I suspect he'll be a huge asset on the MOTU team. -- BryceHarrington (bryce) Dustin is one of the key member of the Ubuntu Server team. He has excellent ideas for improvements and always discusses them with other developers. He is able to produce technical solutions of very high quality. I highly recommend him for being part of MOTU. -- MathiasGug (mathiaz) I work with Dustin on a day to day basis and have sponsored several of his packages. His work is of high quality, and he also possesses two of most important traits for being a good Ubuntu developer/contributor: he asks questions (while critically accepting the answers) and learns from his past efforts. I whole-heartedly recommend Dustin for MOTU. -- JamieStrandboge (jdstrand) |
