I, Leônidas S. Barbosa, apply for core-dev.

Who I am

My name is Leônidas S. Barbosa and I'm brazilian. I'm familiar many programming language, mostly with Python and C. I'm an Ubuntu user since 2008 and I'm also member of Ubuntu Security Team.

My Involvement

I have not that involvement in the past in fact. I just did follow Ubuntu as a normal user and developer, and at that time hadn't that knowledge about debian package at all. I could speed up this when I joined Security Team, and so far still learning a bunch of debian package and Ubuntu.

Examples of my work / Things I'm proud of

My work so far has been doing security updates for many packages in main. Mostly of them for ESM releases. As one of the last updates I did ask for sponsor is this one https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fwupd-signed/1.27.1ubuntu1 that required rights to be done.

Areas of work

My areas of work involves security updates and bug fixes. For an overview about what I've been work so far/uploaded https://launchpad.net/~leosilvab/+ppa-packages.

Things I could do better

• Bug fixing
• Merges
• Syncs

Plans for the future

General

• Become a Debian Developer

What I like least in Ubuntu

• The collaboration between Ubuntu and Debian: We have to collaborate closely with Debian as Debian is our upstream; for example we should always forward non-specific Ubuntu changes to Debian. Doing so we will improve Debian and minimize the Ubuntu delta. We should encourage Ubuntu contributing developers to collaborate with Debian too but at the same time encourage the Ubuntu contributing Developers to contribute to Ubuntu.
