Who I am
I am a member of the Ubuntu Server Team, employed by Canonical. I'm involved with packaging of libvirt, qemu, lxc, and cgmanager, am the Debian maintainer for netcf, and on the debian packaging team for qemu.
My Ubuntu story
My interest first shifted from sunos to linux when I got involved in kernel development. The ability to modify my own kernel was a huge freedom. I started with slackware, moved to redhat, then gentoo, and finally Ubuntu. My shift to Ubuntu was at first practical, because it was the most likely at any time to 'just work' on any given laptop.
In 2010 I joined Canonical to work on Ubuntu full time, with the server team.
