Who I am

I am a software developer from Taiwan. I am hired by Canonical since 2009 as the kernel engineer in the Hardware Enablement team. Before Canonical I worked in Foxconn for the android phone development.

My Ubuntu story

I started to use Ubuntu in 2006. Before that I used Mandrake since 2002 (because it had the best l18n support then. However Ubuntu did much better afterwards \o/.).

During my graduate school days, I used Ubuntu (Edgy and Feisty) as my major development platform on my research on speech recognition and it worked amazingly.

After joining Canonical, my major contribution is on the kernel side. I looked after bugs like non-working hotkeys, suspend failure, backporting/packaging drivers, etc.

I am the maintainer of the fwts git tree. I am also responsible for the release and package uploading.

Personally I also maintain some packages in debian. All of them are new packages made by me.

My involvement

My main contribution to Ubuntu is to help with bugs in Ubuntu preloads for OEMs. I do bug triage, forming patches, making sure the project schedule can meet. Also I will make these fixes upstream when they applies.

Examples of my work / Things I'm proud of

At times I have to backport newer versions of drivers or package a new one for the Ubuntu preload image (usually the most current Ubuntu stable release based). https://launchpad.net/~lexical/+archive/hwe-wireless and https://launchpad.net/~lexical/+archive/drm are typical ones.

There are also a bunch of hotkey issues I fixed. Please see bugs assigned to me.
