Who I am
Just a guy. Just a guy that wants people who don't love computers to get the benefits of Open Source. Just a guy that wants to unlock the creative potential of everyone without requiring them to get permissions, clearance and approval before they create. Just a human being that loves other humans.
My Ubuntu story
I initially came to Ubuntu as an upstream developer. I was attempting (failing) to be the maintainer of gnome-media. One of my biggest problems was keeping up with the GNOME stack that was constantly changing. By the time I would get everything in a state that I felt comfortable testing patches the time I had for doing it was gone. I came to get a more up-to-date GNOME so that I could spend more time working ON GNOME instead of building it.
What I found was more than I was looking for. What I found was a group of people taking pragmatic real-world decisions to ensure that open source software got into the hands of users in a place where they could use it. While I love the fun of an installfest, we simply can't scale with it, we need people have a good experience on their own. And it was clear to me that this was the best opportunity to bring Open Source to all my friends and relatives.
