Ubuntu Wiki

My contributions

I joined launchpad on 5-1-2010, with a firm motivation to join and contribute to ubuntu community. I had to start all by myself as none of my friend had any prior knowledge in linux or ubuntu. At first it was very hard as the processes were not really easy to understand and the wiki was confusing. I kept working moving into BugSquad, then BugControl and now headed to Ubuntu Membership.

Most of the contribution I did is bug triaging till now, in the package xserver-xorg-input-synaptics. The package was not easy to start with, but my motivation and love for hardware and kernel area never let me get back. When I started, the package had a lot of open bugs(mostly duplicates) and was in a bad shape but its in quite a good shape now.

List of contributions

• Bug triager (since I joined launchpad, Ubuntu Bug Control member again since 2010-08-07)

  • Adopting:

    • xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

  • While triaging bugs for xserver-xorg-input-synaptics, I found that it is very closely related to linux kernel, so many bug that are initially filed against it, are actually related to kernel, so in a way I triaged bugs for kernel also.

• Wiki pages: totally rewrote and reconstructed DebuggingTouchpadDetection, created new page (written mselfy) DebuggingTouchpadDetection/xev, another page created DebuggingTouchpadDetection/xev

• Mentorship: I'm in the BugSquad Mentorship team and is currently mentoring two students ahmed and stanley_robertso from 17th august 2010.

• Statistics

  • xserver-sorg-input-synaptics statistics of contribution.

  • My 5-a-day statistics.
