KernelUploadRightsApplication

I, Austin Rhodes, apply for the Ubuntu Kernel Uploaders team membership, to get upload rights for the linux-* packages.

Who I am

My name is Austin Rhodes, and I have been a member of the Ubuntu Kernel Team since April 2025.

I graduated with my Master's in Computer Science from the University of Tennessee in 2024. During my time in college I had also worked in IT sysadmin and helpdesk roles.

My Ubuntu story

When I asked for my first laptop as a teenager, my dad (an IT guy himself) gave me his spare and showed me how to install Ubuntu on it. Since then, Ubuntu has been the staple choice for toying with computers in my life because it is free, open source, quick to install, and widely supported. When I went into university as a computer science major, my investment into Ubuntu paid off hugely, as I was well ahead of my peers in using and understanding Linux. There has never been a time in my life where I didn't have at least one Ubuntu machine set up as a sever, a programming environment, or just for every day use.

My involvement

I work in the Testing & Tooling squad of the kernel team, developing new features and addressing issues in our boot/regression testing infrastructure.

General feedback

I have reviewed mostly backports of different cloud kernels that Austin had prepared. The packages were created with diligence and could be uploaded as is. I am confident that Austin has gathered enough experience to prepare and upload kernel packages without supervision. More importantly, I believe that Austin knows when to reach out and clarify what steps to take in situations that are new or uncommon. I am in favor of Austin's application for kernel package upload rights. +1

General feedback

# What experience do you have with the applicant?

I have reviewed several of Austin's kernels.

# How many packages did you sponsor?

8 source packages

# How would you judge the quality?

Austin has diligently learned the kernel preparation process. He reaches out if there's any uncertainty with good questions. He has cranked many different types of kernels, and handled respins, which shows that he is prepared for cranking kernels on his own. He gives detailed info to the reviewer in his review requests, which is very helpful. Austin's kernels have been prepared with care and I endorse his application.

# Do you trust the applicant?

I trust Austin to handle kernel package upload rights responsibly.

I have reviewed several of Austin's prepared kernel packages. All of them have been prepared with care, and all but one had zero issues. When there was an issue, Austin quickly understood what was wrong and worked to resolve the issue. Austin also has had time to hold Kernel Commit Rights, and has used them responsibly. Given this experience, and the positive feedback from others who have also reviewed his kernels, I fully trust Austin with Kernel Upload Rights.
