I, Paolo Pisati, am applying for DKMS upload rights.

My work, as part of the Ubuntu kernel team, includes FTBFS fixes for the various DKMS packages, hereby I would like to sponsor these fixes independently in order to shorten the upload time and burden on other uploaders.

Who am I

I work at Canonical since 2011 as a Kernel Engineer in the Ubuntu Kernel Team. My main focus area is UNIX OS, embedded systems and system architecture.

I received a Master degree in Computer Science at the University of Milan, Italy in 2003. Since, then I have contributed to many open-source projects, in particular FreeBSD and the Linux kernel.

My Ubuntu story

Ubuntu user since Hardy (8.04).

Examples of my work / Things I'm proud of

Here is a list of DKMS (and other packages) i worked on: https://launchpad.net/~p-pisati/+uploaded-packages

Areas of work

My primary focus is to get new upstream kernel into Ubuntu, and fix packages impacted by these uploads. I am also involved in the stable series.

Things I could do better

My overall packaging experience is almost entirely within the kernel, thus I would like to expand to some userspace package.
