I, Thierry Carrez, apply for core-dev.

Who I am

I am a 36-year old man living in the center of France with my wife and two daughters. I was hired by Canonical a year ago as an Ubuntu Server developer, to work as a generalist on the Ubuntu Server stack.

My Ubuntu story

I've been using Linux more or less for 14 years now, both personally and professionally. My active contributions to Open Source started when I became a Gentoo developer in 2004, working for their Security team. I switched to using Ubuntu, both Desktop and Server, in 2006 when I changed jobs and left Gentoo. I applied for a job at Canonical in January 2008 and started getting more involved with Ubuntu development. During the Intrepid cycle I was a contributing developer, and was made a MOTU during the Jaunty cycle.
