I, Daniel Manrique, apply for upload rights for package checkbox.

Who I am

A long-time Linux user, I started using Ubuntu in 2009 and landed a job working at Canonical in 2010. I'm part of Canonical's hardware certification team, so most of my experience regarding Ubuntu development has been with Checkbox, the tool we use to run certification tests. Checkbox is also shipped with Ubuntu and is used as the client for the Ubuntu Friendly community testing program. As part of Ubuntu, checkbox receives a fair share of community bug reports, which I help triage, and I usually am responsible for preparing versions of Checkbox to be uploaded to Ubuntu via a sponsor. I've also contributed bits and pieces to other projects, mainly for bugs we've run across when debugging problems we find while certifying.

My Ubuntu story

I've been using Ubuntu since 2009 (when I migrated away from Debian). I opened a Launchpad account pretty early on to report on some problems I was having. My efforts within Ubuntu have mostly focused on bug reporting and helping the OS developers with triaging by performing the tests they require.

As mentioned, I've also done work on the tools that the Hardware Certification team uses to test and certify hardware. Chief among these is the checkbox extensible testing tool. The improvements to Checkbox we constantly need are what drove me to get involved in its development. I take part in all aspects of its development cycle: filing and triaging bugs, identifying work to be done to fix them, coding and testing fixes, and managing the merging of code both to the main Checkbox trunk and to the Ubuntu branch.
