I am subscribed to the ubuntu-bugs mailing list, and triage many bugs within minutes of the inital report. I also often work through the list of unconfirmed bugs. A lot of my spare time is spent attacking the enormous number of bugs that we currently have on our plate.

== MOTUing ==

=== Goals ===
 If I were to become a member of ubuntu-dev, I'd primarily concentrate on bug-fixing/creating/updating science-related packages, as well as dealing with a lot of merges and syncs. Improving communication with Debian is also high on my list of priorities, as it is currently in a fairly bad state.

=== Packages Synced and Merged for Edgy (so far) ===
 This list got a little large and unweildy (as well as not being dynamic), so [https://launchpad.net/people/fujitsu/+packages my upload list] will have to do.

=== Package Bugs Fixed ===
 * vpnc [https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/vpnc/+bug/53341 bug #53341] (a temporary fix initially)
 * 915resolution [https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/915resolution/+bug/54188 bug #54188]
 * ... others which I can't remember.

=== New Upstream Versions ===
 * gnomebaker 0.6.0 (eliminates gstreamer0.8 dependency)
 * soundconverter 0.9.1 (also in Debian, eliminates gstreamer0.8 dependency)
 * python-numpy 1.0rc1		  * [http://packages.qa.debian.org/soundconverter soundconverter]
 * [http://packages.qa.debian.org/convertall convertall]

About Me

At the moment, I'm in first year uni doing Bachelor of Science (Software Systems) at the University of Melbourne, Australia. I've been using Linux since my father introduced me to Red Hat in mid-2000. I then switched to Slackware for a while, then Debian, and finally Ubuntu (in January 2005). I've not left Ubuntu since. On 2006/09/06 I became an Ubuntu Member, and on 2006/09/24 a ["MOTU"].

Ubuntu Involvement

I've been fairly active in the Ubuntu community since I joined it in early 2005. My contributions include:

  • Starting the Ubuntu AustralianTeam.

  • Managing the web hosting for the AustralianTeam.

  • Regular bug triage throughout Malone.
  • Updating/correcting/beautifying pages on the Ubuntu Wiki.
  • Merging and requesting syncs during Edgy development.
  • Doing a lot of general MOTU work throughout the Feisty development cycle.

Ubuntu AustralianTeam

Around the release of Ubuntu 5.10, YukiCuss and I started the AustralianTeam. It consists at the moment of about 60 Australian Ubuntu users who wish to help spread the word, and is still growing. I currently manage the web/email hosting for the team.

Bug Triage

A lot of my spare time is spent attacking the enormous number of bugs that we currently have on our plate.
