I have been using free software since 1997. I started with RedHat and shortly thereafter moved to Debian. In addition to various patches and the like, my largest contribution to free software was creating and maintaining the Gnome2.2 backport for Debian Woody. In my consulting work, I supported Ubuntu, Debian, RedHat, CentOS, OpenBSD and pretty much any platform that used free software. My specific contributions to Ubuntu include:

• [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AuthClientConfig AuthClientConfig] (author)

• [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LDAPAuthentication LDAPAuthentication] (contributor)

• To date, created the following security updates: elinks, emacs21, fetchmail, libmodplug, lighttpd, mysql, t1lib, xfsdump, tk8.4 and tk8.3. Also contributed to openssl update.

• Fix for long-standing blank root password LP bug [https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mysql-dfsg-5.0/+bug/119075 #119075]

• Contributions to ubuntu-cve, the Security Team's CVE tracker

• Primary contributor for LAMP server test page (LP bug [https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php5/+bug/135624 #135624])

I am now employed by Canonical as an Ubuntu Security Engineer and am part of the Ubuntu ServerTeam.
