I did first run Linux in 2005. This was Aurox, a Polish distribution (currently commercialized). I got a kernel panic and my Aurox crashed forever. Then I heard about Ubuntu as user-friendly distro based on great Linux server system which is Debian. I bought a second HDD and I installed there Ubuntu 6.06 LTS. I ran Linux occasionally. Since December 2007 I started using Ubuntu as my main operating system on my PC.

Since March 2009 I've started learn about packaging Debian/Ubuntu packages.
----		 I was MOTU already since September 2010 till April 2011. Now I came back and since 15th July do some work for Ubuntu.

 * During the review bugs from 'Areas of Improvement', please note the date on bugs comments (a few months ago). Now I've been improve my skill packaging and I remember to be more careful. -- [[LaunchpadHome:ari-tczew]] <<DateTime(2010-05-08T13:09:08+0200)>>
 * I don't want to sound too negative, but I feel as if this application could do with being deferred for some time. I see that Artur has made a significant number of uploads in a short period of time, but these uploads were generally in one category: syncs to remove Ubuntu diffs. I would like to see more breadth in this applicant. Furthermore, I have seen some comments on IRC and in mail that cause me some concern. Artur shows a lack of patience (he got rather upset when this application was deferred), and respect for the existing tools (once stated that he would not read man pages when asking for help). I also once mailed him asking not to touch random old bugs and he didn't respect my position. I urge Artur to take some time to be more patient and work at a more considered pace (I don't see many bugfixes uploaded to Ubuntu or patches forward to Debian), and to reapply at some point in the future. -- [[IainLane]]
 * Answering to above Iain Lane's comment:
   * Uno: about my patience... I've added my application to DMB Agenda page 13 days before meeting. DMB team know and see how many applications is added to Agenda. I waited 2 hours for my turn. All application have been reviewed, but not my (apparently due to lack of time). Time management on meeting is the responsibility of DMB team, not me. This is very unprofessional and shows disrespect to customer (in this context, disrespect to my person). My upset is nothing strange.
   * Due: That's right, that I touched old bugs, but this situation was a few months ago (August 2009), so you dig my obsolete knowledge gaps. Now I've improved my packaging skill and procedures knowledge.
   * Tre: I see that you're wrong looking for information about my work. You think that I can't be a MOTU, because I don't have done a lot of FTBFS fixes. This is your subjective point of view, so I'll show my point of view: I'm a proud member of MOTU SWAT and I'm interested in fixing security issues rather than FTBFS fixes, so I think that Iain Lane can't be a MOTU, because he doesn't have done a lot of security issues. In addition, you're wrong that I don't have any FTBFS fixes, so please, I digged it for you:

      * http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?submitter=ari-tczew%40tlen.pl
   * Cinque: I've not many readed man pages, because all is wrote in english and english is not my native language. Continous reading in other language is tiring and I not always have time for translating a lot of sentences. But, whether language is obstacle in MOTU?
   * Sei: You wrote that my Ubuntu's work is only remove Ubuntu diffs. Not quite, but I think that you'll not understand this. But how about you? How many packages have you done sponsored? -- [[LaunchpadHome:ari-tczew]] <<DateTime(2010-05-25T01:28:05+0200)>>
 * I've only sponsored a few fakesyncs for Artur, but I do see him quite often in #ubuntu-motu. He is involved and would make a good MOTU on a participation/team integration level. [[LaunchpadHome:echidnaman]] <<DateTime(2010-05-31T13:07:07-0400)

I have sponsored many sync requests and merges (at least 50). They were well described and I had nothing to criticize. I think that Artur is a great asset for the MOTU team. We need more people, who help reducing the sponsors queue.
I sponsored a few syncs and merges for Artur and didn't find any issues with them.

It'd be nice if you branched out into more general bug fixing; developing your own fixes.

=== General feedback ===

I have sponsored 6 packages for Arthur a while ago (karmic to natty), 5 of them being merges. There hasn't been any problem out of the ordinary (like fighting with broken UDD branches). I don't have much recent experience, only four sponsored syncs in saucy. I have no objection at all against reactivating his MOTU credentials, I just cannot give an explicit recommendation at this point due to lack of recent experience. Thanks Artur!

=== Specific Experiences of working together ===

 * Recent saucy syncs: Bug:1203548, Bug:1203874, Bug:1203879, Bug:1203882
 * [[https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sane-backends/1.0.22-1ubuntu1|sane-backends natty merge]] (fairly complex)
 * [[https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/2.28.1-0ubuntu2.2|gdm karmic SRU]] (simple)

Line 156: Line 93:
Artur put a lot of work into Ubuntu Development and has improved his skills a lot in the last few months. I almost exclusively reviewed syncs/merges/etc from Artur and hope that he is involved in other tasks of day-to-day maintenance too. I sponsored a couple of merges and syncs for Artur and they were all of good quality, so I support his application to rejoin MOTU.

=== General feedback ===
I've recently sponsored a handful of syncs for Artur and they were all correct. Syncs aren't quite as interesting as merges for gauging competence, but my interactions with him have been good. He's been knowledgeable and helpful.

== Sebastien Bacher ==

Similar to others, I've been sponsoring some sync requests for Artur, his bug reports are usually detailled enough and the sources were indeed good to be synced.

=== General Feedback ===
I have sponsored some sync requests for Artur and I am happy that he works on reducing the difference between Debian and Ubuntu.

Note that I have not sponsored any merges or Ubuntu-specific uploads for him (maybe only reviewed some), so I don't know how good he is at that.

There are a few examples where Artur was not careful enough. While a lot of these mistakes can happen to everybody, it'd be good to put some additional effort into being super-extra-careful in the future, particularly when about to drop previous changes:

Artur is putting a lot of work into Ubuntu (I sponsored almost 30 sync / merge during last cycle + 5 sync during maverick cycle). His level of English improved a lot lately, but there is still situations in which it makes more complex to work with him because of that.
In general, I'd like him to work on more diverse topics, other than sync and merge (that may be the case, but I didn't sponsored one)

Everybody makes mistakes, but my feeling is that Artur should be more careful.

Also, I still remember him being upset because he wasn't able to find available sponsors for Main. He should be more patient (even a MOTU needs to be patient sometimes :-) ).

I have sponsored only two of Artur's contributions. I don't have any complaints about the quality of them. Working with him was fast and efficient. It's worth mentioning that he is quite active in our Polish LoCo IRC.

Who I am

Only what we have for free, we have to do ourselves.

This is my motto for contributing to Ubuntu.

My name is Artur and I study logistics. I'm from Tczew and my moniker is Ari - so these are components of my nickname.

My Ubuntu story

I was MOTU already since September 2010 till April 2011. Now I came back and since 15th July do some work for Ubuntu.

My involvement

Examples of my work / Things I'm proud of

* Reduction of difference between Debian and Ubuntu

Work done since July 2013: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6402818/ (status 12.11.2013)

Areas of work

  • Merges
  • Syncs
  • Security Uploads

Things I could do better

  • Debian packages management
  • Minimalize Ubuntu's delta
  • More help with translations

Plans for the future

General

I want to invite contributors from my country and help them with start packaging. Besides this, I want to implement Ubuntu Quick Response Strategy (my own).

What I like least in Ubuntu

I'm concerned of:

  • unactive sponsors since joined MOTU
  • too long response from sponsors for main and SRU due to many bugs subscribed

I sponsored a few syncs and merges for Artur and didn't find any issues with them.

It'd be nice if you branched out into more general bug fixing; developing your own fixes.

General feedback

I have sponsored 6 packages for Arthur a while ago (karmic to natty), 5 of them being merges. There hasn't been any problem out of the ordinary (like fighting with broken UDD branches). I don't have much recent experience, only four sponsored syncs in saucy. I have no objection at all against reactivating his MOTU credentials, I just cannot give an explicit recommendation at this point due to lack of recent experience. Thanks Artur!

I sponsored a couple of merges and syncs for Artur and they were all of good quality, so I support his application to rejoin MOTU.

I've recently sponsored a handful of syncs for Artur and they were all correct. Syncs aren't quite as interesting as merges for gauging competence, but my interactions with him have been good. He's been knowledgeable and helpful.

Specific Experiences of working together

Trusty syncs: 1254023, 1254038, 1254055, 1254082, 1254150

Similar to others, I've been sponsoring some sync requests for Artur, his bug reports are usually detailled enough and the sources were indeed good to be synced.

I have sponsored some sync requests for Artur and I am happy that he works on reducing the difference between Debian and Ubuntu.

Note that I have not sponsored any merges or Ubuntu-specific uploads for him (maybe only reviewed some), so I don't know how good he is at that.
