I, Agathe Porte, apply for core-dev.

I am applying because:

Remove any reasons that don't apply, add any extra reasons and edit as needed. These examples are the common cases, but are not a hard requirement for applications.

• I'd like to eliminate delays in getting my work sponsored.
• I'd like to reduce the burden on my sponsors.
• I am already a Debian Developer
• I want to help the Canonical Kernel Team with some tasks that can only be performed by coredevs

Who I am

Hi, I have been a Debian Developer with full upload rights since about two years. I currently maintain about 40 packages in Debian. I have joined Canonical a year ago. I have already contributed indirectly to Ubuntu because all of my Debian packages land in universe. I did not check, but probably some of them are also in main.

My Ubuntu story

Working in the Kernel Team at Canonical makes me a heavy user of different build tools in Ubuntu. I find various bugs, report them and fix them using the SRU process.

My involvement

Examples of my work / Things I'm proud of

I have a uploaded packages in Ubuntu to fix bugs as I encounter them. They span various sections: uvtool, plymouth, xkeyboard-config, autopkgtests, ... See also the ubuntu-sponsorship page: https://udd.debian.org/cgi-bin/ubuntu-sponsorships.cgi?render=html&sponsor=&sponsor_search=name&sponsoree=agathe.porte%40canonical.com&sponsoree_search=email

Areas of work

- SRU bug fixes when I find them during day-to-day usage - Uploads related to the Canonical Kernel Team - Upload of Ubuntu-specific tooling when they do not make sense to upload in Debian

Things I could do better

Plans for the future

General

What I like least in Ubuntu

Please describe what you like least in Ubuntu and what thoughts do you have about fixing it.

Sebastien Bacher

I've sponsored some plymouth updates for Agathe https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/23.360.11-0ubuntu1 https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/24.004.60-1ubuntu1

The package is non trivial and Agathe did a solid job merging with Debian, refreshing the patches and adapting some of the packaging/initrd integration to be compliant with a newer systemd. She also did proper testing of the upgrade which allowed her to find a problem/ask about it/resolve it before requesting sponsoring.

I haven't worked enough with her to have an opinion on whether she understand the Ubuntu processes enough for a coredev application but I'm confident she understands package and know when to ask questions if unsure that I would trust her for upload rights.
