KernelUploadRightsApplication

I, Manuel Diewald, apply for the Ubuntu Kernel Uploaders team membership, to get upload rights for the linux-* packages.

Who I am

My name is Manuel Diewald and I joined the Ubuntu Kernel Team in early 2023. I received a master's degree in Computer Science from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. Before joining Canonical, I was working on software for embedded systems. I have always been an advocate for free software and enjoy working on personal open source projects in my free time.

My Ubuntu story

My first contact with Linux was around 2005 during an introductory course to programming in high school - Fedora Linux. My personal journey in the Linux world started when I switched my workstation to Debian 'Lenny' in 2009. After a long stint of being a passionate Gentoo user, my journey lead me to Arch Linux and eventually, Ubuntu. Even though I have been using Ubuntu as my main operating system for a comparably short amount of time, it has always been the distribution I would suggest to anyone that expressed interest in switching to a free software based system. Its works-out-of-the-box character makes it a great choice for beginners and power users alike. I am very happy to be able to contribute to Ubuntu full time now.

My involvement

I am mostly involved with the Stable Release Updates cycle, maintaining a set of kernel packages. I mainly contribute to the Raspberry Pi Ubuntu kernels. In addition to delivering SRU updates for kernel packages, I investigate user reported bugs or fix issues identified by regression tests of our kernels. Whenever I can, I try to expand our documentation along the way. Recently, I also started to get involved with upstream stable updates for the main kernel.

Plans for the future

Short term, I aim to receive upload rights in order to be able to work more autonomously and to not cause additional work for sponsors. In the future I want to contribute more to tooling and automation for the team and would be very interested in being involved more with upstream work.

Things I could do better

I struggle most with balancing different tasks that have priority at the same time. I want to be better at distributing focus time between tasks and thus to be able to finish them in an efficient, timely manner. Furthermore, proactively engaging in activities outside of my usual workload when time allows could broaden my knowledge in many areas.

Upload Rights

I'm requesting upload rights for the kernel package set for all active series, which includes all the "linux*" packages.

General feedback

I reviewed a few kernels prepared by Manuel and all of them were without error. I also noticed Manuel does not hesitate to ask in our mattermost channel when he is not sure about something or needs help and I am sure he will continue preparing kernels with the same attention to detail. I fully trust him with upload rights and give him my +1.

Areas of Improvement

Nothing I can think of

General feedback

Manuel has demonstrated good grasp of the kernel cranking process and produced many kernel packages which were good for uploads to the archive. Those were of good quality and care has been taken to prepare packages with the right contents, like security updates only when the generic packages have already been prepared for a later release with other contents.

I have uploaded some of the packages Manuel Diewlad has prepared and I trust him to upload kernel packages directly to the archive.

Areas of improvement

Manuel could exercise uploading other kernel flavours, specially ones with signed and lrm packages.

General feedback

I've reviewed a lot of the raspi kernel packages that Manuel prepared and they were all of good quality and properly and carefully constructed. I can't remember if I had to reject any of them which is an indication that he didn't make any grave mistakes Smile :-)

He's prepared enough of them by now including some special cases and security spins, that I trust him to upload correct kernel packages directly to the archive.
