I am applying because:

• I'd like to eliminate delays in getting my work sponsored. I'd like to reduce the burden on my sponsors.

Who I am

I have been a Linux user/administrator since 1998 and I am very passionate about my work. I have been helping with Kubuntu since about 2011, mostly packaging, but recently as lead developer I have expanded my contributions to FFe's, SRU's, transitions, bug triage, release cycles and so much more. I am also a Debian Developer, with experience in of course packaging, but also reproducible builds and the LTS security updates.

My Ubuntu story

As mentioned I have been a Kubuntu contributor / developer since 2011 and would like to expand my horizons. I have recently become the Kubuntu lead developer. I have extensive experience with the KDE packageset. I am also the KDE snap extraordinaire, with maintaining over 200 KDE snaps and the kde-neon(6) extension in snapcraft.

My involvement

• My 'proud' moment was the release of Kubuntu 24.04 LTS. Most of my involvement includes packaging and maintaining the Qt/KDE packageset and it's dependencies. I am also heading up the bug squashing and triage of all Kubuntu related bugs. I engage in various communities (eg: reddit, matrix etc.) working with users to see what is working and what isn't, to make Kubuntu as good as it can be.

Areas of work

I did 'bug triage' For all plasma packages:

• Plasma Bugs

I did all the apparmor profiles for KDE applications in the mega userns bug:

General

What I like least in Ubuntu The bugtracker is not very friendly in regards to tracking and searching for a given packageset of bugs.
