I am a software developer and open source enthusiast born in 1982. I advocate for the use of open source software wherever I can. I use Ubuntu since 2006. == Code / Package Contributions == In short, I have contributed to: * Autopilot tests (automated UI tests using the autopilot framework) * autokpgtest tests (automated package tests conforming to DEP-8) * Ubuntu QA Tracker Website (mostly fixes of the reporting features) * Other bugfixes Detailed list of contributions: ||'''Date of work'''||'''Package'''||'''Bug ID'''||'''Description '''|| ||2012-12-13||atk1.0||-||autopkgtest as part of the [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Hackfest/20121213|2012 autokpgtest Hackfest]]|| ||2012-12-13||poppler||-||autopkgtest as part of the [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/Hackfest/20121213|2012 autokpgtest Hackfest]]|| ||2013-01-13||mysql-5.5||-||autopkgtest|| ||2013-07-09||ubuntu-filemanager-app||1188736||Autopilot test case for opening a context menu on a directory|| ||2013-07-17||music-app||1202323||Autopilot test case for loading a user's library|| ||2013-09-28||testdrive||1235834||Fix --version option to properly display the version of the application|| ||2015-06-01||ubuntu-qa-website||1126449||Reporting fixes: Restrict default date range to a sane default, and fixed generated SQL|| ||2015-07-04||testdrive||1328800||Add support for Ubuntu-Desktop-Next and Ubuntu MATE|| Automated Report on sponsored uploads for contributions I have made: [[http://ubuntu-dev.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/ubuntu-sponsorships.cgi?render=html&sponsor=&sponsor_search=name&sponsoree=Daniel+Kessel&sponsoree_search=name|Sponsorship Report]] === 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. [[http://docs.xubuntu.org/1504/de/index.html|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. == Comments == '''Note:''' This section is for people who aren't Ubuntu members to cheer or comments that aren't testimonials from existing members. == Testimonials == '''Note:''' This section is for existing Ubuntu members to leave testimonials.

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 :-) === Martin Pitt === I have reviewed and sponsored several compile/link/run autopkgtests from Daniel, which are a nice contribution. Thanks!
