Hi CC folks &c, Please consider my application for re-election to the Technical Board at https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/call-for-nominations-2024-ubuntu-technical-board/50081/3 (also copied below for reference as well).
I’m Alex Murray (alexmurray on Launchpad[1]/amurray on IRC) and have been a part of the Ubuntu community as a long-time user and enthusiast since back in 2006. In 2018 I was privileged to join Canonical as the Ubuntu Security Tech Lead and have worked as part of that amazing team ever since. I have a passion for making Ubuntu as secure and usable out-of-the-box whilst also ensuring Canonical has a great relationship with our community. In 2022 I was appointed to the Ubuntu Technical Board and have served the community in that role for the past 2 years. I started and am still hosting the Ubuntu Security Podcast (now every 2 weeks) for the last 6 years as a way to evangelise the awesome work of the Ubuntu Security team and the various security aspects of Ubuntu. I am also involved with security aspects of snapd and as one of the snap store reviewers[2] to help guide snap publishers to make sure their snaps can work as smoothly as possible for their users. Finally, I’ve been a core-dev for 3 and a half years now as well. I have a strong passion for Ubuntu and our community, and was part of the core-dev Office Hours booth[3] at the recent Ubuntu Summit in the Hague. This was a great chance to both get to meet other Ubuntu developers from the community IRL but also to help resolve both various technical issues and provide guidance on ways to better approach and navigate Ubuntu development for unfamiliar community members. I would be honoured to have the privilege of serving the community again as part of the Ubuntu Technical Board for the next 2 years if so chosen. Thanks for your consideration.
