Who I am

I'm a long-time open source developer. I work for Canonical in the OEM Services group (customizing images for OEM customers that want to pre-install Ubuntu). I maintain various upstream packages (xpad, gmult, deja-dup).

My Ubuntu story

My involvement

I've used Ubuntu since Warty, but not terribly seriously until Edgy. I consider myself an upstream man and never got involved in the packaging side of things until Canonical hired me in the spring of 2008. Since then, I've immersed myself in packaging and gotten involved in all manner of things.

Notably the installer. I've done a fair bit of work on it, fixing various bugs, improving its language support, re-working it to be more modular.

I also 'maintain' (i.e. watch out for and push updates to) deja-dup in Ubuntu, until it gets a maintainer in Debian.
