I am Chad Smith, a developer on [[http://www.canonical.com|Canonical's]] [[http://www.ubuntu.com|Ubuntu]] ServerTeam. My objective is to make complex software solutions like landscape, cloud-init and curtin more extensible, better tested, documented and easier to use.

My first exposure to Linux was Slackware '97 on embedded systems. Ubuntu changed my world view by making install and configuration of Linux on my desktop simple, usable and beautiful.
