| Hey. I'm Iain and I'm just starting to get involved with MOTUing. I'm a Computer Science graduate and future PhD student (starting in September) at the University of Nottingham, England. [[https://launchpad.net/~laney/|Here]]'s me on Launchpad, and [[http://orangesquash.org.uk|here]] is my blog. I've been a Ubuntu user since Summer (in the UK) 2006 and full-time since Summer 2008. I started working on Ubuntu development around February 2008 with no knowledge of the processes at all, and think that I now know a fair bit..! = Current focus = Having reached DIF, I've switched from doing merges so much to checking sites such as [[http://qa.ubuntuwire.com/multidistrotools/|multidistrotools]] and [[http://qa.ubuntuwire.com/uehs/no_updated.html|UEHS]], as well as LP trolling for things to fix. I've also got [[http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/details.py?package=goocanvasmm|a package]] in REVU which is seeking reviewers before Intrepid's FF. Please do have a quick look if you have time. :) I don't really have a favourite package or area yet, preferring to just pick up bugs that I think I can do and try and solve them (with the help of the ''awesome'' #ubuntu-motu!). If pressed, I'd say I feel a bit of an affinity with darcs, and have been working with various people to get this package in sync with Debian, thanks in no small part to a new Debian maintainer who has been very responsive and willing to help us. I hope in the future to get involved with Haskell/FP packages in general, with interest piqued by my PhD topic. = Bugs = == Examples == The full list is, of course, [[https://launchpad.net/~laney/+related-software|on Launchpad]]. I've just listed a few of my bugs (two in each "category") that have been uploaded. === Merges === * darcs 2.0.2-2ubuntu1: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/darcs/+bug/254241 * nepethenes 0.2.2-3ubuntu1: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nepenthes/+bug/240188 === Syncs === * griffith 0.9.7.1-1: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/griffith/+bug/256351 * darcsweb 1.0-1: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/darcsweb/+bug/256138 === New upstream version === * glom 1.6.17-0ubuntu1: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glom/+bug/243163 === Bug fixes === * guidedog 1.0.0-4ubuntu2: 'guidedog menu item does not show in GNOME' and 'guidedog fails if $SHELL set': https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/guidedog/+bug/217232 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/guidedog/+bug/124230 * transcode 2:1.0.2-0.8ubuntu9 'transcode FTBFS due to libavcodec changes': https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/transcode/+bug/246755 === SRU === * pidgin 1:2.4.1-1ubuntu2.1 'Cannot connect to ICQ ("The client version you are using is too old.")': https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pidgin/+bug/244591 === Transition === I filed a lot of bugs for rebuilds for the libavcodec transition, thanks to the NBS list. Some FTBFS were thrown up by this, a couple of which I fixed. = Goals = ||'''Goal'''||'''Status'''|| ||Fix a bitesize bug||Done|| ||Fix a non-bitesize bug||Done|| ||Sync||Done, lots|| ||Merge||Done, lots|| ||Update a package||Done|| ||SRU||Done|| ||Package something new||[[http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/details.py?package=goocanvasmm|goocanvasmm]] in REVU, eagerly awaiting advocates|| ||Get UUC status||Pending...|| ||Get MOTU status||Long way off ;)|| = Debian contributions = http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/[email protected]&tag=ubuntu-patch,origin-ubuntu;[email protected] Hoping to adopt [[http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=483249|Xaos]] and seek sponsorship for goocanvasmm if and when it gets accepted into Ubuntu. ---- [[CategoryMOTULog]] ---- CategoryHomepage |
