I, Shengjing Zhu, apply for Ubuntu core-dev.

I am applying because:

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

Who I am

I work at Canonical as a Software Engineer since 2023, part of the Foundations team. I am a Debian developer since 2018. I focus on the Go toolchain currently. I was a Go developer previously.

My Ubuntu story

I began my Linux journal with my first laptop, which was preinstalled with Ubuntu 12.04. I kept using Ubuntu until 2016 when I purchased my second laptop, and then I started using Debian.

As a Debian developer I have been working closely with Ubuntu, by integrating patches applied in Ubuntu, ensuring new versions are uploaded before Ubuntu freeze, fixing bugs (usually FTBFS bugs due the difference in Ubuntu and Debian builder farm).

My involvement

Examples of my work / Things I'm proud of

As a Debian developer I mostly uploaded packages in Debian directly and file sync request when needed.

Include your existing sponsored uploads for the packages for which you are seeking upload rights. You can link directly to an upload by following this pattern.

Areas of work

Let us know what you worked on, with which development teams / developers with whom you cooperated and how it worked out.
