I, Phil Roche, apply for Ubuntu Contributing Developer and upload rights for package livecd-rootfs.

I am applying because:

Remove any reasons that don't apply, add any extra reasons and edit as needed. These examples are the common cases, but are not a hard requirement for applications.

• I'd like to eliminate delays in getting my work sponsored.
• I'd like to reduce the burden on my sponsors.

Areas of work

I work closely with the FoundationsTeam and ServerTeam to provide a consistent Ubuntu server experience across cloud platforms. I really enjoy the relationships I have with the developers on these teams and I think they work well.

Our team relies heavily on livecd-rootfs and our close relationship with the FoundationsTeam has been critical. We use livecd-rootfs every day to build cloud images (base and minimal), LXD images, buildd images, core (for Docker images). Being so critical to my work I want to be able to perform uploads to respect the time of other developers and make my workflow faster. Having PPU rights for livecd-rootfs would help myself and my team get changes into livecd-rootfs but I do not want it to separate us from foundations.

Things I could do better

• Make time for general distro work
