I, Shih-Yuan Lee, apply for MOTU.

Who I am

I am a Canonical employee. I works for Commercial Engineering - PC & Core Taipei of Ubuntu Engineering and Services. Before I joined Canonical, I have been a member of Taipei Open Source Software User Group, Linux Taiwan and Debian Taiwan. Sometimes I joined or created open source software and free software projects, seeing https://about.me/fourdollars for details. I also maintained some Debian packages in Debian, seeing http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=fourdollars@gmail.com.

My Ubuntu story

As a community member, I created and maintained Ubuntu Traditional Chinese Group on Facebook and supported Ubuntu Taiwan Community for many years. As a Canonical employee, I physically joined UDS-{M,N,O,P}. I preloaded the customized Ubuntu systems on any kind of x86 PC for ASUS, Dell, ECS, HP and Lenovo, and tried to solve any issue reported from ODMs.
