| My contributions to Ubuntu are focused in two key areas. My primary interest, is helping keep Ubuntu's accessibility software up to date, and as tightly integrated into the core distribution as possible. My other area of contribution is the Ubuntu Studio project, a derivative of Ubuntu which aims to provide an easy to install and set up operating system for musicians, multimedia artists, graphics and art designers, and video enthusiasts. |

| I have been a member of the MOTU team since January, and as well as keeping all accessibility software in universe/multiverse up to date, have helped where help has been needed. My MOTU workload has included bug triaging, sponsoring uploads, reviewing new packages, assisting with various administrivia, usually relating to meetings, and recently, becoming a member of the MOTU SRU team, a team who's responsibility is to assess the suitability of packages requiring updates in stable releases of Ubuntu.

| As a member of the Ubuntu core development team, I intend to directly work on accessibility related software in main, continuing to triage bugs, keep the accessibility components of the GNOME desktop up to date, and help the other desktop offerings that Ubuntu has, to be accessible as possible. I also intend to help out with Ubuntu's audio infrastructure, tracking upstream projects such as pulseaudio, and the alsa userspace packages, and ensuring that audio is tightly integrated, and feature ritch for all desktops, to ensure all users get the same audio experience. I am also willing to lend a hand where needed, and where I am able. There is always plenty to do, and plenty to learn. I am well aware of my limits, and am always willing to ask if I am unsure, but am always keen to help, especially if it means developing a skill that will be valuable in the future. I love Ubuntu, and want to see it succeed, and continue to grow in both the short term, and long term future. |
As a Canonical employee, I am on the platform team, responsible of the part of Ubuntu that all Ubuntu flavours depend upon. My primary workload includes keeping the audio stack (alsa userspace, pulseaudio, etc) up to date and as bug free as possible, and as mentioned earlier, I maintain all accessibility related packages in the core Ubuntu distribution. I also help out the platform team where help is needed. |
