Who I am

I'm a multimedia professional who works as an Audio/Video/Lighting engineer with some photography on the side. As you can imagine, Ubuntu Studio is my flavor of choice.

My Ubuntu story

My contributions to Ubuntu Studio started in March of 2018 when Set Hallstrom and Ross Gammon put out a call to form a council in order to sustain Ubuntu Studio, which had received very little, if any, attention since 2016. I came onboard and ran the meetings and presented ideas to enhance the flavor, which led to a renaissance and revitalization for the flavor that is apparent in the work that went into 18.10 as well as the work going into 19.04. I have also provided direction and ideas for the flavor to move forward.

I would like to get better and better at packaging, and I'm finally falling into the workflow.

Erich only started doing packaging for Ubuntu a year ago when he joined the Ubuntu Studio Team and became the Council Chair. I have reviewed most of his packaging work, and I can see a huge improvement from the first efforts up to the latest. Some of the changes attempted were quite significant, involving moving files between packages etc. Erich is clearly a fast learner!

Erich has also very quickly built up a network of people to go to in Ubuntu to ask questions, and works very well with upstream projects. He also follows up after the uploads to check evrything is OK, and is always busy bug triaging.

I believe Erich can be trusted with upload rights for the Ubuntu Studio packages, because I know that he reads up on the correct processes, asks questions when not sure of anything, tests his work, and always follows up afterwards. rosco2

General feedback

I have only sponsored three packages for Erich so I don’t have much experience of working with him.

One of the packages was uploaded without changes, in the two others I have noticed and fixed some issues related to debian/copyright, missing Breaks+Replaces for files move, and debhelper build-dependency not matching compat level. Apart from that, the packages were in good shape and I think he can have upload rights for them.

Specific Experiences of working together

Areas of Improvement

Maybe paying more attention to Lintian warnings…
