== MOTUing ==

=== Goals ===
 If I were to become a member of ubuntu-dev, I'd primarily concentrate on bug-fixing/creating/updating science-related packages, as well as dealing with a lot of merges and syncs. Improving communication with Debian is also high on my list of priorities, as it is currently in a fairly bad state.

=== Packages Synced and Merged for Edgy (so far) ===
 This list got a little large and unweildy (as well as not being dynamic), so [https://launchpad.net/people/fujitsu/+packages my upload list] will have to do.

=== Package Bugs Fixed ===
 * vpnc [https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/vpnc/+bug/53341 bug #53341] (a temporary fix initially)
 * 915resolution [https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/915resolution/+bug/54188 bug #54188]
 * ... others which I can't remember.

=== New Upstream Versions ===
 * gnomebaker 0.6.0 (eliminates gstreamer0.8 dependency)
 * soundconverter 0.9.1 (also in Debian, eliminates gstreamer0.8 dependency)
 * python-numpy 1.0rc1
 * [http://packages.qa.debian.org/soundconverter soundconverter]

About Me

At the moment, I'm a Year 12 student in the eastern suburbs of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. I've been using Linux since my father introduced me to Red Hat in mid-2000. I then switched to Slackware for a while, then Debian, and finally Ubuntu (in January 2005). I've not left Ubuntu since. On 2006/09/06 I became an Ubuntu Member, and on 2006/09/24 a ["MOTU"].

Ubuntu Involvement

I've been fairly active in the Ubuntu community since I joined it in early 2005. My contributions include:

  • Starting the Ubuntu AustralianTeam.

  • Managing the web hosting for the AustralianTeam.

  • Regular bug triage throughout Malone.
  • Updating/correcting/beautifying pages on the Ubuntu Wiki.
  • Merging and requesting syncs during Edgy development.
  • Doing a lot of general MOTU work throughout the Feisty development cycle.

Ubuntu AustralianTeam

Around the release of Ubuntu 5.10, YukiCuss and I started the AustralianTeam. It consists at the moment of about 60 Australian Ubuntu users who wish to help spread the word, and is still growing. I currently manage the web/email hosting for the team.

Bug Triage

A lot of my spare time is spent attacking the enormous number of bugs that we currently have on our plate.
