I am mostly known for maintaining NetworkManager and the related packages (modemmanager, wpasupplicant, usb-modeswitch, etc.), but I also spend time dealing with lower-level or more global networking aspects such as libnl3 lately and dealing with the associated transition. I also maintain desktop packages based on current needs in the Desktop team, and especially look after the Evolution stack.
Line 21: Line 64:
I tend to be slow at moving patches to Debian; even though I feel this is consitantly better I now keep forgetting to properly credit patches as coming from Ubuntu when they are submitted to Debian.

The same I guess applies to patches submitted upstream to, e.g. NetworkManager; I find some to be missing proper "credit" as being done by me for Ubuntu or for Canonical, with the need to ask it to be fixed after the fact. Proper automatization could help there, but using multiple email accounts still makes the process cumbersome.

Areas of work

I am mostly known for maintaining NetworkManager and the related packages (modemmanager, wpasupplicant, usb-modeswitch, etc.), but I also spend time dealing with lower-level or more global networking aspects such as libnl3 lately and dealing with the associated transition. I also maintain desktop packages based on current needs in the Desktop team, and especially look after the Evolution stack.

Things I could do better

I tend to be slow at moving patches to Debian; even though I feel this is consitantly better I now keep forgetting to properly credit patches as coming from Ubuntu when they are submitted to Debian.

The same I guess applies to patches submitted upstream to, e.g. NetworkManager; I find some to be missing proper "credit" as being done by me for Ubuntu or for Canonical, with the need to ask it to be fixed after the fact. Proper automatization could help there, but using multiple email accounts still makes the process cumbersome.

Plans for the future

I need to get more involved in sponsoring uploads, which I can already do as a member of the Desktop team. So far it has mostly been centered around just merge requests for NetworkManager and ModemManager.
