Who I am

I currently live in Germany and am employed by Canonical as a Kernel Engineer. I am currently acting as the interface between the kernel and the server team and contact for all kernel (or related) issues that the server team brings up. Also, I am now doing all the Xen packaging for Ubuntu. Before that I was doing the maintenance of the released kernel trees. And before joining Canonical I was working for IBM as a kernel developer on the zSeries (S/390) architecture.

My Ubuntu story

I started with Linux around 1993 (version 0.99 patchlevel 14) with kernel compiles as sort of a requirement. After some less intense involvements on other UNIX platforms I joined the mainframe development in 2000. There the main distributions were Redhat and Novel/SUSE. I joined Canonical in January 2008 and have since then dived into the Ubuntu/Debian way of work.

My involvement

Member of the Canonical Kernel Team since January 2008
Coordination and maintenance of all stable kernel releases. Later team lead of the stable team.
Working on server/cloud related issues and maintaining Xen in Ubuntu.
Maintenance of Xen until 18.04/Bionic, then helped to reduce Debian delta to the minimum.
