Describe yourself here === TL;DR ===
I'm a generation X or Y person depending on when the cutoff date is. For someone who lived in Argentina and in a non early network connected town, I consider myself an early adopter starting with Slackware from a huge set of floppies from a magazzine called [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_computer_magazines_in_Spain#Defunct|Solo Programadores]] only to discover my family PC was not supported as it had a Triden 9440 card, given the family PC status, I abandoned it until a couple years later where I discovered Red Hat 5.2 and later on Debian (IIRC woody) which was the distribution I stuck with the longest after Ubuntu in the later years.
Line 12: Line 17:
After getting my first broadband connection I turned into what some people call a *distro hopper* (they didn't last more than a month, except for Gentoo and LFS which took a month to install); you could also include the *BDSs and Solaris/OpenSolaris in those distros.

With regards to work; I've been hired in the past by Motorola where I used Solaris extensively to QA what became [[http://www.motorolasolutions.com/US-EN/Business+Product+and+Services/Enterprise+Voice|TEAM]] where I worked mostly on the installations, test environments and the actual protocols (SIP, PTT, Cellular/GSM).

I then moved on to work at Intel; where I started out in IT and lab management and spread Ubuntu all over the place and had the first Linux installation in the commercial datacenter. I then moved on to work for [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appup|Intel's AppUp]] for [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MeeGo|MeeGo]], which looked pretty much like Ubuntu Software Center now and had apps promoted though it's panels (much like Ubuntu's Lens).

=== Actual ME ===

Come 2012, I moved on to work for Canonical; I love the work here, the openness and community around Ubuntu. My dedication was initially on Ubuntu for Android but shortly after became part of the team that started building the phablet, now called Ubuntu Touch and hopefully soon, just Ubuntu :-) That team today is the Ubuntu Phone Foundtations team.

Write your contributions here. Mostly worked around what adds up to Ubuntu Touch:

 * ... first ports for maguro, then also mako and manta ([[http://phablet.ubuntu.com/gitweb|repo]])
 * ... wrote and maintain [[http://launchpad.net/phablet-tools|phablet-tools]].
 * ... heavily contributed to the Ubuntu Touch porting guide.
 * ... actively maintained the Jenkins servers (s-jenkins) where we used to build Ubuntu Touch completely from.
 * ... initially packaged many of the Ubuntu Touch specific components, mostly the ones listed [[https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-touch-preview|here]].
 * ... some adaptations/porting for autopilot on devices.
 * ... packaged and worked on the build and sync for all preinstalled click applications.
 * ... worked on the CI for most of the packages that were specific to Ubuntu Touch. We luckily have a CI team for that now :-)
 * ... non ci (daily release) packaging contributions:
  * ... Debian packages sponsoree http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=sergio.schvezov@canonical.com
  * ... Ubuntu packages sponsoree http://ubuntu-dev.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/ubuntu-sponsorships.cgi?render=html&sponsoree=Sergio+Schvezov&sponsoree_search=name

You can often find me on #ubuntu-touch, #ubuntu-ci-eng and #ubuntu-devel on freenode.

My relevant talks at events (outside of [v]UDS) are:
 * ''An Introduction to Ubuntu Touch'' at the [[http://www.flisolcba.com.ar/|FLISOL 2013]]; I was also an organizer.
 * A similar ''Ubuntu Touch Intro'' talk and another ''Porting to Ubuntu Touch'' crash course at [[http://www.ubuconla.org/|UbuConLA 2013]].
 * A talk about testing and autopilot in general at [[http://ar.pycon.org/2012/activity/accepted#92|PyConAR 2012]].
 * UbuntuOpenWeek -> [[http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2013/05/21/%23ubuntu-classroom.html#t13:02|Ubuntu Touch Team]]

=== Things I can do better ===

 * Track existing bugs in a more active manner.
 * Respond to issues faster.

Write your goals.  * Add some love to the Ubuntu Emulator.
 * Create some tools around the Ubuntu Emulator to grab images easier.
 * Tweak the recovery images so it's more productized.
 * Work with the team to migrate to a newer android code base.
 * Create porting tests for people to diagnose their porting status in an easier way.
 * Discover Go(lang) (I tried a quick phablet-flash; `go get launchpad.net/phablet-tools/udbflash`; seems to even work faster).
 * Package Go repos/projects for Debian (to sync into Ubuntu).

About Me

TL;DR

I'm a generation X or Y person depending on when the cutoff date is. For someone who lived in Argentina and in a non early network connected town, I consider myself an early adopter starting with Slackware from a huge set of floppies from a magazzine called Solo Programadores only to discover my family PC was not supported as it had a Triden 9440 card, given the family PC status, I abandoned it until a couple years later where I discovered Red Hat 5.2 and later on Debian (IIRC woody) which was the distribution I stuck with the longest after Ubuntu in the later years.
