General

Key Achievements

  • See my page above, it's nothing spectacular but I've been pretty consistent in Ubuntu over the last few years.

Vision

  • I'd like to help make application reviews as quick and painless as possible for people who have something to contribute. The process should also be attractive compared to other software delivery platforms so that the Ubuntu software center should be the first place people choose to publish their software.
  • Try to stay up to date with what else is going on in the free software eco-system in terms of software delivery and make sure that we know what others are doing and that we play well with them as far as we can.

Testimonials

  • I've been working with Jonathan for quite a few years, mostly on Edubuntu but also as a sponsor and mentor for MOTU. I believe he'd be a great addition to the ARB team. StephaneGraber

  • Jonathan has been a MOTU for a lot longer than me, and pushed me to eventually join Ubuntu & MOTU. For that (and other reasons) I respect Jonathan's judgement, and strongly support his application to join ARB. He's more than technically competent, and is committed to the future of Ubuntu. -- stefanor 2011-10-15 21:29:39
