Hi, my name is Steve. I've been an Ubuntu Core Dev, an employee of Canonical, and a member of the Ubuntu Release Team since 2007. I have also served on the Technical Board since 2014.
My capacity to do TB work has been reduced over the past few years for personal reasons. I remain passionate in my committment to good technical governance of Ubuntu and I am willing to serve, but for this reason I am also happy to see a healthy slate of other strong candidates this cycle, who I would not feel bad about losing my seat to!
