Languages: french and english ---- Location: Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. Current work: Full-time climate modeller for the Canadian Government. Past jobs: system administrator for various university research groups, both in Canada and in the US. These jobs mostly consisted of working on Unix servers (AIX, Solaris), Linux, and Windows machines, and being the all-around support guy for the end-users. Programming skills: I do Fortran coding for my day-time job, a skill not much in demand in the world of Ubuntu. But I can do Perl and Shell scripting when needed. Experience with Linux: I have been using Linux, both as a hobby and as a job, since the late 1990s: Red Hat, Fedora, Mandrake, and now Ubuntu (since a pre-release version of Warty in September 2004). I have been using and maintaining Unix servers since the early 1990s. ----- Contributions to Ubuntu: * Between October 4 2004 and April 9 2005 I have posted 350 messages on the Ubuntu-users list, 42 times on the Ubuntu-devel list and 17 times on the Sounder list. The majority of these messages (especially on ubuntu-users) were written to answer questions of users. Recently I started trying to help users on the irc #ubuntu channel in a similar manner. * I have been maintaining the ical version of the Ubuntu ["Calendar"] * I am a member of the ["CanadianTeam"] LoCo team * I have submitted a few patches for inclusion in Ubuntu: * directly to the MOTU team (accepted in ddclient 3.6.2-3ubuntu1) * via the mailing list(http://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2005-March/005895.html * via the bugzilla (https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=7180#c2 and https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1580#c23 ) * Between October 3 2004 and April 10 2005 I have filled 37 bugs in the bugzilla (7 still open), and I have contributed in one form or another to a total of 153 bugs in the bugzilla. The main emphasis I have been trying to achieve was to help with the initial bug triage in the hope that this will make the life easier for the Ubuntu developers and allow them to concentrate on serious bugs. Here are the total number of bugs for various type of contributions during that time period, with a few examples from the bugzilla for each category: * bugs I have filled (37 bugs): https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=8600 https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=8596 https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=8436 https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=8213 https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=7195 * bugs I have marked as duplicate (23 bugs): https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=8903 https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=8870 https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=8869 https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=8524 https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=8503 * bugs I have marked as universe (7 bugs): https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=8864 https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=8327 https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=8260 https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=8254 https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=6933 * bugs I have marked as fixed/invalid/notabug/notwarty (10 bugs): https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=8368 https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=8772 https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=8194 https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=8197 https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=7876 * bugs for which I added a comment to the bug report (76 bugs) https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=8631 https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=8377 https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=6827 https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=7544 https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=7074 https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=8645 https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=8518 https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=8435 https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=8281 |
