Who I am

I'm a Linux user/developer since 1998 and a Ubuntu user since 2006, and had been working in Canonical Phone Squad team during 2014-2016, and in Hardware Enablement Team since 2019.

My Ubuntu story

I've been on Ubuntu for 10+ more years and am using it as the only environment for all purposes. In the beginning it was just a pursue for the newest packages available in Ubuntu, and as time goes by, Ubuntu almost become the default Linux desktop/development environment for both personal and work use. With features provided on Launchpad, it also becomes a critical role in interaction with other open source communities. Phone team is another adventure in the Ubuntu family to innovate and resolve the missing parts for Ubuntu to become an universal distribution. Later on, as a member in x86 enablement team this broaden the area of development targets, architectures that I used to be a general user.
