I have the pleasure to work with Dan for over a year now at Canonical within the Sustaining Engineering team. I know Dan as a hard working and very serious team player. He also has a very impressive background and profile. [[LaunchpadHome:slashd]] - 2017-03-09

I have sponsored two of Dan's packages so far and expect to be sponsoring even more in the near future. Dan's attention to details is notable and the quality of is packaging work is quite good. I don't have any hesitation to endorse him for Contributing developer as I expect him to get more involved in the Ubuntu Community and gain more responsabilities.
I have sponsored a few packages from Dan over the year and the ones I have seen were high quality.
Dan has the desire to do things right and he always accept constructive comments/feedbacks with a positive attitude.

=== Specific Experiences of working together ===
I specifically remember some work on the multipath-tools packages where we had concurrent fixes to be done on the same package. Dan was always attentive to the other side of things.

=== Areas of Improvement ===
His packaging skills will continue to evolve but is already in the right direction.

=== General feedback ===
In addition to the set of SRUs I have sponsored, I have also seen other activity from Dan on my normal rounds. While I only have specific experience working directly with him on just this bug, I think this work should certainly be counted when considering whether his contributions in aggregate meet the "significant and sustained" requirement.
He understands the principles of debian packaging and the SRU process and he is not afraid to ask questions when needed.
As a SRU uploader, it is always a pleasure to sponsor a patch from Dan, and I think he would be a great addition to the SRU uploader launchpad team.
Line 137: Line 129:
I have sponsored [[https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vlan/+bug/1224007|one bugfix]] for Dan in the development release and subsequently sponsored the corresponding SRU into three stable releases. Dan handled review and process feedback well, updated his debdiffs promptly and we got the fix uploaded. Dan is a colleague and I work with him for the past 2 years now. Dan's role is to drive bugs into resolution by troubleshooting, fixing bugs, providing guidance & workarounds, for different areas of expertise which may cover areas such as: kernel, drivers, virtualization, network, cloud, storage setups, ... and physical/virtual environment orchestration.

Nothing from my limited experience in working with Dan; keep up the good work! Nothing I can think of...

Who I am

I started with UNIX is 1993, using Solaris, and then moved to Linux in 1997 using Slackware, Red Hat, and now Ubuntu. I began Linux kernel development in 2001, in the USB subsystem, and have contributed since then in various kernel subsystems including memory management, networking, and crypto.

My Ubuntu story

I joined Canonical in 2015 as part of the Support and Technical Services Engineering team, and have been working on problems that reach into many different parts of Ubuntu; the kernel, networking, multipath, udev, and more. I enjoy digging deep into technical details and solving problems.

My involvement

Examples of my work / Things I'm proud of

My sponsored uploads:

Bug fix contributions:

todo - include only kernel bugs, other uploads enumerated at above link

Areas of work

Most of my work is done in the kernel, both upstream and in Ubuntu's branches.

Things I could do better

Time management is difficult for everyone, as we never have enough time to complete everything we want to do. I hope to manage my time better, balancing work and family while also continuing to contribute upstream.

Plans for the future

General

Continue contributing to the kernel and Ubuntu packages.

What I like least in Ubuntu

Documentation is sometimes hard to come by, or out of date.
