I am a developer on Canonical's Ubuntu Server Team. I am Dustin Kirkland, a developer on [http://www.canonical.com Canonical's] [http://www.ubuntu.com Ubuntu] ServerTeam.

My objective is to develop, extend, package, and support the software that comprises Ubuntu's Server, making it easy to use and secure. I actively triage and fix bug reports against Ubuntu Server packages.

I am currently working on:
 * EncryptedPrivateDirectory: encrypted ~/Private directories in each user's home
 * BootDegradedRaid: booting from a degraded RAID
 * SwapfileAtInstallation: swapfiles support in the installer
 * [https://blueprints.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu-doc/+spec/ubuntu-manpage-repository a comprehensive website of Ubuntu manpages]
 * [http://people.ubuntu.com/~kirkland/search.html Ubuntu Documentation Search for developers]
 * encrypting swap space by default
