Who I am

My name is Edoardo Canepa, and I have been a member of the Ubuntu Kernel Team since February 2025. I help maintain a variety of Ubuntu kernels and related packages in accordance with our Stable Release Updates Cycle. I've received a master degree in Automation Engineering from University of Pisa in 2010 and worked as an embedded engineer ever since

My Ubuntu story

I was the maintainer for an unofficial Debian real time kernel based on RTAI ipipe patchset for the Automation Engineering department of Pisa University and started to experiment with Dapper Drake to assemble a live-cd students could use to try and implement x86 based real-time systems in a Scilab/Scicos environment. Since then I've always used Ubuntu as my main operating system to support both my professional work as an embedded engineer and my hobby as a computer emulators developer.

My involvement

I have been involved in the SRU (Stable Release Updates) process of releasing various Ubuntu kernel packages.

General feedback

# What experience do you have with the applicant?

I have been working together with Edoardo since he joined a few months ago. Couple things that immediately caught my attention were how aware and articulate he was. He learned fast. He is organized. He has been a contributing to documentation from day one and managing the move to forgejo. Aside from his official responsibilities, he is always thinking of doing things better/more efficiently and sharing his ideas with us. This way he also makes life easier for the team. This is probably a hidden positive side-effect of working with him.

# How many packages did you sponsor?

I have sponsored 32 packages officially. Unofficially, I have also checked quite a bit of his pseudo cranks.

# How would you judge the quality?

All of his packages they were prepared flawlessly, both official and unofficial.

# Do you trust the applicant?

Yes, he has my full endorsement. With upload rights, he will be able to work even better and more independently.

General feedback

# What experience do you have with the applicant?

I was one of the people that did interviews with Edoardo. Already then my impression was that he is showing he is detail oriented and careful in his work. And working with him when he started in Canonical did just confirm this. When he asks questions it shows he already did some research and usually has some idea what the answer might be.

# How many packages did you sponsor?

16 according to the provided table (not that I could really remember). But at least a reasonable number and I cannot remember any bigger issues. There were some cases I was asking for changes but usually those were on more complex cases and things were resolved promptly and the same issue never happened again.

# How would you judge the quality?

The most recently sponsored uploads had nothing to complain. Edoardo is ready for upload rights.

# Do you trust the applicant?

I very much trust Edoardo. If there is anything unclear he will always reach out and ask before doing anything that could be wrong.

General feedback

# What experience do you have with the applicant?

I have reviewed and sponsored some kernel packages for Edoardo for both SRU and security cycles.

# How many packages did you sponsor?

Apart from the 4 packages listed in the table, I have reviewed 8 other ESM packages for Edoardo, namely main, meta, signed and LRM for f:aws-5.15 and b:azure-fips.

# How would you judge the quality?

All the packages I reviewed were well prepared and I don't recall having asked for any changes. When he wasn't sure about some minor detail, he asked questions to ensure his understanding of the process and that his packages were in good shape before submitting them for review.

# Do you trust the applicant?

I trust him to use his upload rights wisely, so here I endorse his application for them.
