About Me
My name is Chris J Arges and I am a member of the Canonical Technical Services Engineering Platform Team. I help fix kernel, userspace, and desktop bugs filed by Ubuntu Advantage customers. In practice this results in many stable fixes for the entire Ubuntu community. Most bugs I fix are via SRUs to stable releases but I always run a laptop with the latest development release to file bug reports (and fix them) as I can. I've also helped with FTBFS/NBS issues, tested ISOs on hardware, fixed upstream issues, completed some Debian merges and contributed numerous bug reports. I've done some work using launchpadlib to help our team better prioritize and fix bugs and track statistics. I've had some experience using Juju to charm our internal django website for our team. Finally, I develop tools and help partners with their Debian packaging when possible. My focus is not only fixing bugs, but also helping to maintain a high quality Linux distribution through data, tools and communication.

Future Goals
I plan on continuing to improve the quality of Ubuntu by fixing bugs, and contributing wherever I can. I plan on continuing to submit patches to Debian when I can, and sending patches upstream to their respective projects. I would also like to improve the tools used to debug (systemtap/crash/kdump) as well as the tools used to triage and analyze defects.
Testimonials
Ezio de Mauro
Working with Chris is a pleasure. He has the patience to explain to less skilled people what needs to be done in order for Chris to successfully reproduce and fix bugs and he teaches them as well. Besides the great technical expertise (I've seen him touching code which goes from the kernel to userland) he has also very insightful when it comes to topics like bugs workflow, triage, statistics, etc. He gave a great lightning talk at UDS-Q and it was good to see he raised a lot of interest in finding better ways to triage bugs for example. Great Core-Dev application in my opinion.
Adam Stokes
Chris is a vital asset to the community. His continued contributions to the kernel, patching during plus-one maintenance, and SRU shows his commitment and technical knowledge towards the continued growth of Ubuntu. In addition to the many kernel subsystems he interfaces with Chris is also able to dive into userspace with little to no guidance and apply his skills with making sure the foundation of Ubuntu is well maintained. He is an astute developer and I have never witnessed a problem he was not able to resolve.
