I, Simon Quigley, apply to be a Developer in the Kubuntu project.
Who I am
I'm a 15 year old living in Wisconsin, USA who likes Linux, Ubuntu, and technology in general. I have had a passion for computers ever since I was 9, starting out by learning some basic HTML on a Windows XP machine, growing my knowledge and passion from there.
My Kubuntu story
I installed Ubuntu in February of 2015 after breaking my Windows 7 install, and was instantly attracted to the development side of the project. I wanted to work with others to develop software, which was always something I wished I could do but didn't have any interested friends. But, after reading the Ubuntu Packaging Guide, I was stuck, some steps didn't work, and that discouraged me. So I gave up.
I then joined a Lubuntu IRC channel that July after finding out Lubuntu ran better on my computer. I joined that community, started working on other projects within Ubuntu such as the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter, and I worked to get Ubuntu Membership on February 4th, 2016. But I still wanted to contribute to development, so that summer, I joined a Kubuntu Party and got involved in the Kubuntu project as a ninja.
From then on, I expanded my contributions, becoming the Lubuntu Release Manager, helping run the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter, and a few other contributions listed on my main page. I continue to do various tasks within the community as a contributor outside of my Kubuntu work.
I became a MOTU on August 28, 2017, and have been an active Ubuntu Developer in the archive since then, helping coordinate and/or generally contribute to nodejs transitions, Qt transitions, haskell transitions, and more.
Examples of my work / Things I'm proud of
In coordination with the Security Team, I have released security patches for several important/highly-used packages and continue to do so whenever there is a new CVE affecting a package in the Kubuntu packageset.
I staged KDE Plasma 5.11.4, uploaded to the archive, and got it to migrate with very little help from others.
I have to admit, it's a bit hard to find things to list here because I take pride in the work I do; so if you have any specific questions about my work, don't hesitate to ask.
Areas of work
- Making sure the Kubuntu Continuous Integration has passing jobs when I can help out.
- Staging releases of KDE Plasma, KDE Frameworks, and KDE Applications to the relevant staging PPAs and pushing out updates to the Kubuntu Backports PPA.
- Help Kubuntu transitions migrate from devel-proposed to devel-release.
- Continuing to keep Kubuntu secure and bug-free by releasing updates to packages containing bugfixes and security fixes.
- Helping package Qt to make sure Kubuntu stays up-to-date and bug-free.
Things I could do better
- Be better organized with things I'd like to do within Kubuntu; but that's partially the fault of the system itself (see below).
Plans for the future
General
- Continue to contribute with Qt packaging, and contribute more in the Debian team.
- Upstream more Kubuntu deltas to Debian where I can.
- Continue to get security patches to users in a very timely manner.
- Help organize stagings alongside the team.
