About Me
My name is Robert Hooker, I'm 29 years old, married, and I have been using ubuntu off and on since 6.06. I first started using ubuntu as my primary desktop OS with jaunty in december 2008 (prior to that I just messed around with it), but I have been using the server variants for a long while before because I prefer debian packaging and the more up-to-date packages ubuntu usually provides. My main motivation for switching my primary OS to linux was to ease the usage of my linux servers, and also ease android development after I obtained a few android based phones which I needed to compile kernels for. I am very interested in the ports architectures, PPC and arm especially and arm kernel development is what drew me to linux. I still use IRIX on a few old SGI machines to this day 
My first interaction with linux was with slackware 1.2 in 1994 (still have the 53 floppies!) but I didn't use it seriously until more recently.

My main interest involves working with the X stack in ubuntu to help keep things up to date, and I have been working with the ubuntu-x team in that regard since March 2009. I am one of the maintainers of the xorg-edgers PPA where we provide an updated X stack that enables people to easily test updated components which helps developers track down bugs and enables users to leverage new X technologies such as KMS before they are available in the main distribution. I am also working to help ease the transition to xorg 7.5 by packaging and maintaining a xorg-testing PPA with all of the latest components from git which I believe will help greatly for spotting changes that need to be made when ubuntu transitions to the newer packages.
