NWU
NWU is my biggest contribution to Ubuntu, I guess.
Nwu means "Network wide updates for systems which use APT."
Project site: [https://dev.ubuntubrasil.org/trac/nwu]
Project changes history: [https://dev.ubuntubrasil.org/trac/nwu/timeline?daysback=180]
Spec: [NetworkWideUpdates]
It is based on a spec written by MichaelVogt. After reading the spec, I talked to AdamConrad (infinity) and MichaelVogt (mvo) volunteering to work on it. They said "great, go go". I've been working hard on it since december/2005.
The project has walked a long path already. I dedicate many daily hours to it, as you can see in the [https://dev.ubuntubrasil.org/trac/nwu/timeline?daysback=180 commits history].
I hope it will prove itself useful and stable enough for dapper+1.
I've received a lot of support from other users and Ubuntu members and that makes me even more excited about nwu. I'm really thankful to AdamConrad, MichaelVogt, MarioMeyer, IvanKrstic and all MOTU's.
The project is hosted by Ubuntu-Br LoCoTeam, thanks to MarioMeyer's sysadmin efforts. He also has contributed a lot of code and testing time to nwu, for which I am also thankful.
Packages
[http://revu.tauware.de/details.py?upid=2238 python-sysinfo]
[http://revu.tauware.de/details.py?upid=2240 nwu-agent]
[http://revu.tauware.de/details.py?upid=2240 nwu-server]
When they are widely tested, we'll upload them to Debian and later to Ubuntu. At least two debian developers are interested in sponsoring them.

Extra-Ubuntu Contributions
Python-Sysinfo
Python-sysinfo is an abstraction library that provides system information like current hardwares, network settings and software environment. It was originally written for [https://dev.ubuntubrasil.org/trac/pycacic PyCACIC].
nwu-agent depends on python-sysinfo.
Project site: [https://dev.ubuntubrasil.org/trac/pycacic]
Project changes history: [https://dev.ubuntubrasil.org/trac/pycac/timeline?daysback=180]
CACIC
CACIC is a project lead by the Brazilian Government to provide a system that collects and analyses informations from computers in the network. It reports data like hardware setup, installed software and asset management input informations.
I've volunteered for developing an agent for GNU/Linux, initially written in Perl. After that I've moved to Brasília and now I'm working on PyCACIC, now coded in Python, as an official government GPL project.
I also host and maintaing the community wiki.

My ideas about Ubuntu
- What I like
- Based on Debian, the "universal operational system" :-).
UbuntuServer can be a nice alternative to "Enteprise" servers supported by Oracle and other "enteprise-level" software. DB2 is already supported.
- Best Desktop I've ever experienced. It just works.
- Very welcoming to new contributors.
- The "ubuntero/ubuntu member/ubuntu motu" processes are very stimulating to applicants. And they are transparent.
- Has a growing, helpful comunity
- Short, predictable release cycle
- It's a hype, but a good, deserved hype. Probably a long standing hype, too.
- Worries
- Some Debian Developers disagree about how Ubuntu is sending back the improvements.
Canonical business model is not clear (not even to MarkShuttleworth as he wrote in his profile).
Future contribution planning
- Contribute with the Ubuntu Server sub-project with development, support and ideas.
- Help and stimulate use of Ubuntu and Debian in the Brazilian Government
- Advocate for NWU spec approval for dapper+1
Work hard on the aforementioned packages and send them to Debian unstable, then to Ubuntu Universe, then to Ubuntu main, then to Ubuntu server (long time support).(I believe hitting Debian first is the RightWay)
- Keep focused in nwu, but keep an eye on the general Ubuntu development and help whenever possible.
- If time is available, help with bugs in malone
- Always send back my contributions to Debian
