I started with and used Slackware until 2003, when I was hired by Xandros (another Linux distribution) to develop security, automated package deployment, and server software, followed by ARM development work on embedded Linux systems. I spent the last few years implementing the touch stack in Ubuntu and currently manage Unity 7 maintenance and work on Unity 8 desktop convergence. I am also involved with the Debian project packaging games, and the GCC project, particularly the C++ standard library implementation (random number generators and regular expressions). I have mentored GSoC students implementing GCC's libstdc++ regex library for the last two years. == Contact Information == || Launchpad || https://launchpad.net/~bregma || || Debian QA || http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=stephen.webb@bregmasoft.ca || || IRC || bregma || || Email || stephen@ubuntu.com || == Contributions == I participate the Canada Loco and in the MOTU efforts.
