I, handsome_feng, apply for ~ubuntukylin-dev membership.

Who I am

I am a member of Ubuntu Kylin Team since 2014. I'm also PPU and Debian Maintainer.

My Ubuntu story

When I was in college, I get to know Linux. Untill then, I acknowledged except windows Operating System, there are other OS in this world. It showed me the way to a marvelous world. At the final year of my school learning, I noticed Ubuntu Kylin, the official flavour of Ubuntu, was looking for candidates. So I made up my mind to join this team and devoted to it. Now, I have been working with Ubuntu/Ubuntu Kylin for 5 years.

My involvement

During my work in Ubuntu Kylin, I took part in the development of unity7, unity8 and UKUI, release work of all versions of Ubuntu Kylin. Developed and maintained ubuntu kylin packages such as ubuntu-kylin-wizard, kylin-greeter, ubuntukylin-default-settings, ukui-session-manager and so on. In the mean time, I am a super forum host in Ubuntu Kylin Community. I answered lots of questions asked by users, attended many community activities as well. I have got the PPU rights for ukui-menu, ukui-session-manager, ukui-indicators, ukui-control-center, ukui-desktop-environment, peony.

Maclin

handsome_feng has been devoted to Ubuntu Kylin project for years as a core person. His work involves most aspects of Ubuntu Kylin distribution and community which makes the flavor more and more popular. His most important and time consuming work is developing and maintaining Ubuntu Kylin related packages, such as UKUI, unity, youker series apps，etc. He is also responsible for uploading and maintaining the UKUI packages in other distribution such as Debian adn Arch in the recent two years. He is a studious, conscientious and trustworthy colleague. --maclin

Anthony Wong

I worked with Feng on various things in Ubuntu Kylin. Although I don't upload packages for him, he had done some great work for Ubuntu over the years. He has improved and learnt a lot since he first joined the project. One of his most prominent work is to make the launcher be able to move to screen bottom. It is not a trivial work and I saw him worked with Marco a lot to make it happen. --Anthony Wong

Endorsements

Aron Xu

I've sponsored most of Feng's Ubuntu Kylin packages. He is quite responsible for reacting on requests about the packages, and over the time he's capable of updating those packages without modifications. I would encourage him to release often and upload often, so that he could get more control over the pace. --Aron Xu

Simon Quigley

Here's from the Sponsorship Miner:

Specific Experiences of working together

General Feedback

The quality of handsome_feng's packages are good. I have had very little hesitations in sponsoring most of them; he is a skilled packager that should absolutely have this upload access. He cares a lot about Ubuntu Kylin's packages, and when corrections do need to be made, he has the right attitude about doing so.

Areas of Improvement

There are some packages which I have had to give back to handsome_feng after being asked to sponsor them due to particulars like copyright notices which weren't complete (not that I'm perfect myself...), or a Lintian flag which he has missed. But handsome_feng is very quick to correct any mistakes he may make, and ensure that these same mistakes are not present in any further uploads.

I believe that handsome_feng would be a fine addition to the team. -- tsimonq2 2018-04-03 03:11:16

General feedback

I've sponsored a few uploads, all to Eoan. In general I feel he is a good packager and cares for the quality of ubuntu-kylin uploads, and believe he is ready to upload directly for any of the ubuntu-kylin packages.

Specific Experiences of working together

I've sponsored these packages:

Areas of Improvement

In some of the uploads I sponsored for him, he had tried to find a sponsor for some time without success, and so was into a freeze period and required an exception. These delays were certainly not his fault, and clearly shows that being granted upload permissions for ubuntu-kylin would remove the delays that lead to requesting freeze exceptions.

However some of the uploads I sponsored were requested during the freeze period, and I would encourage him to try to have any UI or feature changes done first, before those freeze periods start.
