Other Bugfixes
There have been some contributions to the Ubuntu QA Website, and probably some other fixes that I did not keep a reference to.
Manual testing
Apart from the automatic tests, I do manual testing and report bugs whenever I find them.
Translation
I have also contributed to translations (from English to German) for some of the Ubuntu packages. In 2015, I was part of the Team which made it possible to release the Xubuntu Desktop Guide in German for the first time, just in time for the Xubuntu Release 15.04. The results can be viewed here.
Future Goals
I plan on continuing my work primarily for Ubuntu QA.
I might write and publish some helpful tools if there is anything we need to improve Ubuntu QA.

Balloons
Daniel has been a wonderful contributor to a variety of efforts within ubuntu QA. He's maintained his involvement for awhile branching out into various areas of automated testing, test writing and reporting. I look forward to seeing more good things from him moving forward

I have reviewed and sponsored several compile/link/run autopkgtests from Daniel, which are a nice contribution. Thanks!
