Qt5Uploader
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 https://wiki.debian.org/UltimateDebianDatabase 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.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 During the last release cycle Simon has been helping me a lot with transition from Qt 5.7 to 5.9. This cycle he does most of the maintenance work himself, including transitioning to newer 5.9.x releases and backporting patches from upstream. He definitely should have upload rights for all of Qt packages. Specific examples of working together: the transitions I mentioned above are the main and large examples. They are usually happening via silo PPAs to reduce brokenness period of the main archive. We are usually coordinating our work on #ubuntu-qt channel. The code lives on salsa.debian.org and I regularly review Simon's changes. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCgAdFiEEbEPcK+5mZmLK5jNU1v5xA2P4XdMFAlqSs98ACgkQ1v5xA2P4 XdO2Cg/9Gr50ozJ7lfQNLEZ+MxT7djikcXe1jCgltKaw0VHaCo6zxUmvbmEXvcQy wWOY2R3GrJ0DCWFtXdD3yPCiR9ltIWy3irxG0px3UhHaByHYQxxKXg2L5hM95Wva 9Lb6j2MXoKPnyeZAaGWq3QiwE8JincbiRowDy6HBlWNGh/fFcu1C8p3L+d5w/YsK rwBwavnxajZSDMoRjhX6eXsjkhK5tMi9NaCRxFS6pyspmk2VIMHWarlig47Wqz1C PsYa9VPyXwfHqjlh39FVg7QaaFLTdt5Dy3B1kjKDa3ft3snrNVzDxkoUzXH/sPQU o8zzECGqZbPPQOh0c928nyZ8Yyc03aPY81IAD377V3GygadMTTYf0Q/Po6cN69xe hXa4K09Cd+FMj0C3M1/IWC/dgDj56B2gGFLOnWWig377EXAgFuoidUn0SxUHOr4P yeJji054hxTgQBBAoNAWSqrnWB4Nd30C72sM+G0t5dGmiZBtNmRG0Ai+5L/nzNqp sPzQtI3I7p3AQBfJ6lgMBmWUJkMS8F4f3Usn1BebTgzG2tcqwGChR73Bn6IGF92s kgrpfu5LuaP8XqAz6lFwOrjTalVWIkiQop72I062+8pJ0L1p+xTUrt1G4C/Qo7JT 5qy6bRatHfNVTN/ZxownFCQY3k7lqX/hY7sOz2BIAZ67J3CD13M= =Df1U -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
