| My name is Anthony Wong, living in Beijing. I have been involved in FLOSS since 1998. My Linux journey began when I first tried Redhat 4.2 in the summer before the program of my master degree of computer science started. My first FLOSS contribution is [[ftp://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/mandriva-prehistory/6.0/i586/index-html/emiclock-1.0.4-1.i386.html | some]] [[http://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/mandriva-prehistory/6.0/i586/index-html/Anthony_Y.P._Wong_%3Cypwong@poboxes.com%3E_.html | RPM]] [[ftp://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/mandriva-prehistory/6.0/i586/index-html/Anthony_Y.P._Wong_%3Cypwong@poboxes.com%3E.html | packaging]]. Redhat 4.2 was a solid distribution with a great user manual for newbies like me at that time, but system upgrade was a nightmare. | My name is David Mohammed, living in the UK.

| Soon after that I tried Debian and found apt-get just won RPM management hands down. The spirit of [[https://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines|DFSG]] also made me a firm follower of Debian and so I tried my best to apply for Debian Developer and was accepted.

Who I am
My name is David Mohammed, living in the UK. I have been involved in FLOSS since Ubuntu 7.04 days. I have a masters degree in Software Engineering and work as a senior systems developer for Hewlett Packard Enterprises.
My initial career developer background is primarily C based - my opensource contributions are primarily python based via rhythmbox plugins - https://github.com/fossfreedom.
I am the project lead for the new official community flavour - Ubuntu Budgie.
My prime responsibility is to maintain the current package set that makes up Ubuntu Budgie.
My Ubuntu story
I dabble with Ubuntu during the Feisty days and became my primary desktop OS soon after with Gutsy.
My first active contribution was through Ubuntu Forums (Ubuntu Cappuccino Scuro) and later through Ask Ubuntu. Currently I am a community moderator with a not insubstantial score-card (http://askubuntu.com/users/14356/fossfreedom)

Examples of my work / Things I'm proud of
Areas of work
I am currently in the Ubuntu Kylin team and working with engineers from NUDT and ubuntu desktop developers. Let us know what you worked on, with which development teams / developers with whom you cooperated and how it worked out.

General
What I like least in Ubuntu
Some wiki pages are outdated and could be confusing to new contributors, like how to contribute fixes to Ubuntu. For example, one can attach a debdiff patch to a bug or link a Bzr branch.
For translators, the translation facility provided by Launchpad is quite limited. Ability to review and use other languages as reference are nice features, but we found it is not enough for our workflow when we were working on translation with the Ubuntu Kylin team. We do not only need the ability to review but the reviewer has to provide feedback to the translators so that the translators can refine the translations.
