Community
I've only recently become involved in the Ubuntu community, but have been using Ubuntu for a while now. (I had been a Debian user for a while prior to Ubuntu.) As the lead sysadmin at [http://www.osdl.org/ OSDL], I chose Ubuntu as the default distro for all new servers, replaced most of the aging RedHat systems, and kept the visitor lobby stocked with fresh Ubuntu CDs. Nothing beats having a Debian system with a regular release cycle.
More recently, I have started getting involved in Ubuntu bug triage (and submission) and have uploaded several packages to ["REVU"]. I work with MartinPitt in the [https://launchpad.net/people/ubuntu-security Ubuntu Security Team], and already a few security fixes I've [https://launchpad.net/people/keescook/+packages packaged] have been released.
I am also a [http://kernel.org/ kernel.org] admin, where I work on maintaining the mirror network, and handling user accounts.
Future
I have been an advocate of free software since I first understood what the GPL meant. I love tweaking and patching and helping make things better; I've always had a knack for getting software to behave in unexpected ways. I think finding security problems is fun, and I want to spend my time hunting down and squashing those problems where ever I can find them. Free software already has a strong security reputation, and I want to help keep it that way.
