KernelUploadsApplication

I, William Breathitt Gray, apply for the Ubuntu Kernel Uploaders team membership, to get upload rights for the linux-* packages.

Who I am

My name is William Breathitt Gray. I am a Software Engineer working on the Linux kernel as part of the Ubuntu Kernel Team. I started working for Canonical in August 2020, and along the way I've met some really cool people and learned a lot of neat stuff about Ubuntu.

Funny enough, I never planned to become a Linux kernel developer. Originally, I went to university to study biology as a premed student. Over the years I began to gravitate to technology and open source software development. Now, I can't even imagine my life without free and open source software.

In my free time I like to work on my own software projects; and I even share some on my public repos. Feel free to check them out and contribute if you like:

My Ubuntu story

I installed Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron in 2008. It was one of the first Linux distros I ever installed, and I believe it's what motivated me to stay stick with Linux as my personal desktop OS of choice as these years. There was just something about Ubuntu in particular that I really loved: everything made sense -- it all just worked so well together.

My involvement

I work with the Stable Kernel Team, so I take an active part in the SRU cycle. Much of my daily work revolves around cranking kernels, reviewing patches, preparing trees, fixing various bugs, etc. It's all the fun and necessary work that goes into producing the best stable kernels Ubuntu has to offer.

Every now and then we get some interesting bug fix or feature request that gets requested. I love digging in figuring out the best way to backport some neat piece of code or essential CVE fix. It's stuff like this that makes my day feel great when I've accomplished it. Smile :-)

General feedback

I have sponsored a few of the kernels William has prepared and have seen him successfully handle a large handful of other SRU tasks. William is a quick learner and intentional with his work. In addition, he has no qualms asking for help or clarification when needed. I'm confident William will continue to be careful and thorough with his work moving forward. With this in mind, I am endorsing William receiving his upload rights. +1

General feedback

I have sponsored several of William's kernel packages and I believe he is ready to upload kernels on his own. William always consults the team when he's unsure or finds an unexpected issue so the problems are solved before the packages are submitted for sponsorship. He's also a quick learner and I believe he'll continue to be careful with his uploads. Therefore, I endorse William's per-package upload rights for the linux packages.

General Feedback

I did review a couple of kernel uploads for William and what I remember of the interactions he tends to be careful and ask any questions before proceeding too far. So if there were any unusual things those could get resolved before uploading. He also pays attention to details which have no influence on the code itself but on the SRU processes.

For that I am +1 for adding William to the kernel PPU list.
