I, Stefan Bader, apply for core-dev.

Who I am

I currently live in Germany and am employed by Canonical as a Kernel Engineer. My primary focus of work is the maintenance of the released kernel trees. Before this 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

Examples of my work / Things I'm proud of

  • Kernel maintenance for Dapper, Gutsy, Hardy and Intrepid
  • CVE triaging and upload preparations
  • Working on kernel bugs
  • Working with the kernel team community (IRC and mailing list)

Things I could do better

  • Spend more time on open kernel bugs

Plans for the future

General

  • Getting the stable maintenance process more transparent
  • Improve the interaction and our reputation upstream

What I like least in Ubuntu

Having to say "won't-fix" in the knowledge of that sometimes being better that to regress for others.
