I, Michael Terry, apply for MOTU.
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 considered 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.
I also continue my Ubuntu work in my spare time, fixing bugs that I find in the development release and filing merges. I attend LoCo meetings and help out there.
I've attended UDS events since UDS Intrepid.
Examples of my work / Things I'm proud of
I maintain a list of packages I've worked on.
Areas of work
My work in the Canonical OEM group has led me all over the stack. From acpi events to installer fixes to resolution fixes for applications that don't fit on netbook screens.
I've also spent some time on the Foundations team. I've worked with them to simplify acpi-support, switch the default system logger to rsyslog, and re-architect the installer ubiquity.
But I'm more of a jack-of-all-trades-master-of-none kind of developer. I've spent a lot of time early in the Karmic cycle doing merges and syncs for all sorts of packages.
I watch a few packages in particular for bugs and push updates if applicable: deja-dup, duplicity, rsyslog, ubiquity.
