I only sponsored one SRU for uim that was crashing Firefox, but it was a no problems upload.
I've seen a lot Micah in #ubuntu-motu, and gives good answer to people questions, so he seems to be a good asset for Ubuntu.

I, Micah Gersten, apply for upload rights for the Mozilla Package Set.

Who I am

I am a PHP Web Application developer by day. I have been using Linux for most of the past 10 years.

My Ubuntu story

I started using Ubuntu around 7.10 after I gave up on Windows. I started with Kubuntu, but moved to Xubuntu after I saw KDE 4. I might try it again someday as I had used KDE from 2000-2005.

My involvement

I've started working in the Answer Tracker in Dec 2008. I then moved to bugs in Apr 2009. I became a Bug Control Member in May 2009. During Fall 2009, I started helping with the Mozilla Daily builds. In Oct 2009, I became a member of the Ubuntu Mozilla Team.

Examples of my work / Things I'm proud of

I helped get xulrunner-1.9.2, Thunderbird 3, and Seamonkey 2 ready for and into Lucid.

Areas of work

  • Mozilla Team
  • Zend Framework Team (backports PPA)

The Mozilla packages have about 4k outstanding bugs. When I started working with Firefox bugs, I brought the number from 1500 down to about 1000, but since I've been doing packaging, I haven't had as much time for bug triage. Packaging updates for minor revisions of Mozilla apps are relatively easy. Major revisions usually require a bit of work.

Things I could do better

I could be a little more organized with regard to task and estimate better how long a task will take me.

Plans for the future

Get a good handle on the Mozilla Package set and try to get all the patches upstreamed and the packages up to latest Debian Policy version. Eventually go for MOTU and maybe even core-dev.

General

What I like least in Ubuntu

I can't think of anything I don't like at the moment about Ubuntu Smile :)
