I, Nicolas Valcárcel, apply for core-dev.

Who I am

I'm Nicolas Valcárcel, a Peruvian Linux user and developer working at Canonical as Security Engineer in the OEM Solutions group. I also try to give talks in the Local events about ubuntu, ubuntu development, launchpad and such.

My Ubuntu story

I started contributing to Ubuntu on late 2007, but didn't got involved seriously until Hardy's release cycle, i worked on merges, syncs, FTBFS packages and such generalists stuff, as well as in the community side of the development. I got my MOTUship about a year ago (August 2008) after working on the server team, doing some minor bug fixings and help here and there, while in there i got interested in Augeas, a library for editing config files, which i maintain in Debian.

My involvement

• - MOTU - Mentoring Reception team - Server team - Security Team

Examples of my work / Things I'm proud of

• - I'm really proud of the results on Augeas package, it is a mixed package, library, plus binary, plus some other stuff, it was quite hard package to work on, but thank to my sponsors at the time i got to finish it.
