Who I am
I'm a sysadmin for the Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment at the University of Cape Town.
My Ubuntu story
I've been using Ubuntu as my primary desktop operating system since Gutsy Gibbon. I started contributing to Ubuntu in late 2012 fixing bugs in packages we use at our university; cntlm, (open)motif and CUDA. I was accepted as a MOTU in December 2013.
My involvement
Packaging, SRUs, syncs, merges and bug triaging.
Examples of my work / Things I'm proud of
Areas of work
I try to keep in contact with the upstream developers of the packages I maintain.
Things I could do better
I would like to be able to do more in bug control such as being able to nominate bugs for series and setting their status and importance.
Plans for the future
General
I will be applying for Debian Maintainer soon, and if successful, will apply for Debian Developer within the next 6 months.
What I like least in Ubuntu
Sometimes bugs are fixed in the development release and those fixes never make it into the stable release, leaving users to live with annoyances for 6 months and wondering why the bug status is "fix released" while it is still broken for them. I think there should be more SRUs.

General feedback
Reviewed and sponsored a lot of Motif related packages for Graham, in both Debian & Ubuntu. Also helped Graham improve the state of CUDA and OpenCL packaging in Ubuntu, which gets rather hairy (complex tangles of virtual packages). In the process, there have been FFes, quite a few SRUs, and I don't recall any breakage.
For the last while, I've had very little feedback to offer on sponsorship - the work was all pretty good. I trust Graham to ask when he needs help with something, or review on a complex issue.
Specific Experiences of working together
I've worked with Graham quite a bit over the last couple of years, helping him get involved in Debian & Ubuntu, and mentoring.
Areas of Improvement
My only criticism is an over-eagerness to SRU. We can't achieve perfection evenrywhere.
