Ubuntu Wiki

Ubuntu Core Dev, member of the Ubuntu Foundations Team at Canonical. Not to be confused with the other Simon of Lubuntu fame. You can usually find me roaming the various Ubuntu virtual places during European business hours.

People usually ping me about things regarding glibc or rustc.

Incomplete history of work in Ubuntu

I have worked full-time on Ubuntu since July 2021, when I joined Canonical. Since then, I became MOTU in October 2021, which I leveraged to drive the libssl3 transition. I leveled up to Core Dev in May 2022, which is about the same time I started becoming involved in glibc. You'll find traces of my work also in the Rust toolchain, Apport development, and even in the Netplan sources.

In a slightly more community-oriented area, I'm involved with the Patch Pilot program, and am usually available on IRC or Matrix.
