My name is Omer Akram. Living in Multan, Pakistan I am addicted to Ubuntu. I started with confirming and invalidating bugs for ubuntu-moblin-remix then slowly moved to #ubuntu help channel spent a lot of times at #ubuntu channel those days. One day I happen to come accross ubuntu bug control page and applied for it. and luckily became a member of ubuntu bug control

Conntributions to Ubuntu

I only triage bugs at launchpad and that is the only contribution that I am making towards Ubuntu. Mainly I work on empathy bugs, Ask information about incomplete bugs, send them upstream ( I send most of the empathy bugs upstream myself). Then comes gwibber, I am one of the two people who are actively working on gwibber bugs the other person is Kamus. Its only me and Kamus who handle all gwibber bugs. We have managed to close tons of old gwibber bugs in the past few week now most of gwibber bugs are those that actually exist. Another interest area of mine is the awesome Indicators. I triage bugs for all type of indicators including indicator-me *-messages *-sound

My Teams

*Gwibber-Team

*Ubuntu-answers

Great comments from the past

I have got some great comments from Upstream developers

Ryan Paul(Gwibber developer) wrote at twiter: "Thanks to everyone who is helping out with Gwibber bug reports! I'm especially grateful to Gwibber bug triaging hero @om26er."

Guillaume Desmottes(Empathy developer) said at #empathy(gimpnet): "Its really good to have someone bringing in tons of empathy bugs from launchpad to bugzilla. Thanks"

And also an email from Ubuntu's very own Jorge O. Castro: "Thanks for your bug work on gwibber, it's been real helpful!"

Future Plans

* I am not a programmer at all and dont have any educational background related to computers at all but I have still started learning python so that I could help with some projects like Software-center and gwibber

* Become a packager, though now I can do some basic packaging but it will take time to get ready for MOTU

* Soon Lucid comes out distribute a bunch of Lucid cds to friends and people I know. This one is a must do for me as I have been thinking about this since the new awesome look landed in Lucid so now I wont hear the look is not appealing Smile :-)

Testimonials

  • +1 - Omer's hopped on board adopt-a-package and has made a significant dent in the amount of bus we've needed triaged for gwibber. It would be very difficult to get gwibber in good shape to ship by default in main without his help! -- jorge 2010-04-12 15:32:10

  • +1 - Omer happens to work on triaging bugs for packages I maintain, so I really appreciate all he does. I maintain gwibber, empathy and indicator-*, Omer's work has been indispenable. Not only is he quick to handle incoming bugs and quickly mark dupes, etc for all those packages, but he has been amazing with the gwibber backlog. Gwibber had basically a complete re-write for the Lucid cycle, and prior to Lucid there was an overwhelming volume of bugs filed without triaging. He has gone through them all and marked old stuff as invalid or requested testing/further information. Now our bug load is managable and he triages them quickly, so we on the Gwibber team love Omer! -- ken-vandine
