Who I am
I live in the US. I did graduate school at William and Mary in Virginia, where I first got involved in linux kernel hacking and DTE (aka TE as in selinux). I spent a year in Dresden working for Scionics doing programming in python, before joining IBM's linux technology center. Last year, I moved to Canonical.
I'm a member of the ubuntu server team, most active in the virtualization stack and, recently, enterprise storage stack. I've been maintaining the KVM and libvirt packages and active in the LXC package.
My Ubuntu story
I started using Ubuntu after years of gentoo, when I received a new work laptop and needed to have it up very quickly. Ever since, I've appreciated the quick installs, quick upgrades, and, for machines with little interaction, the stability and low rate of updates for LTS releases.
I got involved with Ubuntu development when I joined Canonical. I have upload rights to some of the packages I'm most involved in, like qemu-kvm, libvirt, and multipath-tools. However people are getting tired my asking them to sponsor uploads for other packages like lxc.
