Launchpad Profile: |
My computer-related interests include coding and system administration. I previously worked as a Java programmer and used a mix of Debian and Ubuntu workstations. It was also while working there that I got my first shipment of Ubuntu Warty CDs and used it to power a couple of server machines. I gave the other CDs away to my friends so they can try it out. An officemate used it as his workstation and the other team used it as a Server. 
I'm currently working as a system administrator for an IT company. I'm using Breezy as a File/LAMP server here. Again, I got another officemate to convert to Ubuntu and I'm hoping that there would be more that would follow.
Interests
Ubuntu, Debian, Python, Java and Java packaging, *Nix System Administration, PHP, XML, XSLT
Contributions
Advocacy
Some participation with Philippine LoCo Team meetings in IRC
Giving away copies of Ubuntu that I got from ShipIt to my friends
Support
- Helping out with Ubuntu support tickets on LP
- I usually hang out at #ubuntu-ph on irc.freenode.net and help users with their queries
Translation and Localisation
- Rosetta Tagalog Translation
Quality Assurance and Bugs
- Bug fixing/monitoring on Malone (mostly on Java-related bugs)
I usually check with Debian upstream if existing bugs on Ubuntu have been fixed. If the Ubuntu version has been updated, I try to verify and close the open bugs on LP (motujava). I also hang out at both #debian-java and #ubuntu-java to try and coordinate stuff when I am able to. I don't have the powers and knowledge to make/submit changes to Ubuntu packages yet, but this is an area where I would like to work on.

Plans for Ubuntu
I'd like to see better support for Free Java in Ubuntu since this is an area, which, I think lacks manpower. Coordination with Debian upstream would be good so as not to duplicate effort. Having said that, I think having a better system to coordinate with Debian upstream (for all packages in general) would be really nice. I try to lurk in Debian's pkg-java list and IRC channel so that I have knowledge with what is going on.
Also, since I am now a system administrator (and no longer a Java dev), I'd also like to see more of Ubuntu on server machines (although we don't really use "server hardware", just PCs, it would still be really cool if Ubuntu ran/gets installed with minimum effort).
