I, Simon Quigley, apply to be a Qt 5 Uploader in the Ubuntu project.

Who I am

I'm a 15 year old living in Wisconsin, USA. I have had a passion for computers ever since I was 9, starting out by learning some basic HTML on a Windows XP machine, growing my knowledge and passion from there.

My Ubuntu story

I installed Ubuntu in February of 2015 after breaking my Windows 7 install, and was instantly attracted to the development side of the project. I wanted to work with others to develop software, which was always something I wished I could do but didn't have any interested friends. But, after reading the Ubuntu Packaging Guide, I was stuck, some steps didn't work, and that discouraged me. So I gave up.

I then joined a Lubuntu IRC channel that July after finding out Lubuntu ran better on my computer. I joined that community, started working on other projects within Ubuntu such as the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter, and I worked to get Ubuntu Membership on February 4th, 2016.

From then on, I expanded my contributions, becoming the Lubuntu Release Manager, helping run the Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter, and a few other contributions listed on my main page. I also became a Master of the Universe on August 28, 2017. I continue to do various tasks within the community as a contributor outside of my development work.

Examples of my work / Things I'm proud of

• I directed the Qt 5.9.3 transition and am directing the 5.9.4 transition with little to no help from others.

Areas of work

• I work on the Debian Qt Team to ensure that the Qt packages stay up-to-date and in a healthy state, and have worked with them to complete the Qt 5.7.1 and 5.9.1 transitions.

In Bionic, the packages that I do not have upload access to are the following:

• qtbase-opensource-src
• qtsvg-opensource-src
• qttranslations-opensource-src
• qtcreator

So while this application is for upload access to the qt5 packageset, in reality, it could be considered just adding those four packages to the list of packages I can upload.

According to the Sponsorship Miner, here are the packages that I have needed sponsorship for that are in the qt5 packageset:

Here are additional package uploads found via UDD that I have either uploaded myself or have landed via the CI Train: `

`

In the Qt 5.9.4 transition that I am preparing right now, I will need qtbase, qtsvg, and qttranslations sponsored. Having this upload access would allow me to do the transition completely by myself.
