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!
