I'm Robie Basak (IRC: rbasak; Launchpad: [racb](https://launchpad.net/~racb)). I'd also like to stand again for the Technical Board. I've been using GNU/Linux since the late nineties, professionally as a sysadmin since 2001, Ubuntu as a power user/developer since about 2005, and have been working on Ubuntu itself since I joined Canonical in 2011. My first sponsored upload to Ubuntu was in 2011, I became an uploader in 2013, and a Core Dev in 2014. I've served on the DMB and SRU teams since 2016, and the Technical Board since 2020. I'm also a Debian Developer since 2018. I'll be leaving Canonical at the end of January. I don't expect to be working full time on Ubuntu itself any more, but I will continue to be involved. If I am re-elected, I will continue this role in a personal capacity from February. Since I've been around a while you can judge me on my past performance. You will have seen that I'm active. I don't just show up to vote; when I think something needs fixing, I start a discussion in the appropriate public forum, achieve consensus, and fix it as appropriate according to that consensus. I don't mind if the consensus didn't match my original opinion. I don't avoid difficult or contentious topics. The harder problems need much more time and perseverance to solve, and I happily tackle these too. To help you measure my past performance, here's my [platform from 2020][1] and [from 2022][2]. My opinions from those previous platforms still stand. Some things I'm proud to have achieved recently: * The [policy on third party software sources][3], which brings clarity to users and sets expectations on how snaps should interact with apt and the Ubuntu (deb) archive, default Ubuntu installations, and build provenance. * The [new SRU documentation][4] which is part of my bigger effort to properly fix the common mismatch in expectations between uploaders and the SRU team. * Like Alex I also helped staff the core dev office hours booth at the Summit, along with Lena and others. This led to an interview on [Ask Noah][5], representing the Technical Board. I think I represented Ubuntu well there, but please judge for yourself! Thank you for considering me!
