I, Kaj Ailomaa, apply for upload rights for packages ubuntustudio-*, linux-lowlatency, (and a few more).

Who I am

I'm a composer/musician, currently pursuing a career in IT, with a great passion for GNU/Linux. When I'm not sitting by the computer, or making music, I try to get outdoors running or cycling.

My Ubuntu story

Being a musician and a fan of Linux based distributions, I found some problems while trying to install a suitable system for audio production. This slowly lead to me getting in touch with the Ubuntu Studio community and becoming involved in its development. I had previously been interested in software development, but did not have much experience of the administrative process involved in organized software development. During my time in Ubuntu Studio I've tried to fix problems, in both the system, as in how to easier get people involved in developing it.

My involvement

• maintainer of https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-lowlatency

• part maintainer of the ubuntustudio-* packages (team effort)

• part maintainer of the http://ubuntustudio.org website (team effort)

• part of http://launchpad.net/~ubuntustudio-core, which owns all the other ubuntustudio lp teams.

Examples of my work / Things I'm proud of

I'm most proud of my work for linux-lowlatency, which is the core component needed for doing serious audio work on Ubuntu.

Areas of work

So far, I've been mostly involved in Ubuntu Studio development, but since we use the xfce desktop, we tend to cooperate with Xubuntu developers, and have had some assistance from them. Especially from micahg who has been kind enough to sponsor a major amount of our package uploads.

Also, since I'm maintaining linux-lowlatency, and following the official SRU process in paralell with linux-generic, I'm working fairly closely with Canonical kernel developers, especially with infinity - the release manager, and apw who was a great help in setting up the maintenance procedure initially.
