Working at Canonical
Tuesday, August 5th, 2008
As you almost certainly already know if you know me personally, I’ve recently accepted a position with Canonical Ltd. caretakers of such wonderful open source projects as Ubuntu (Linux for human beings) as well as Bazaar (Version control for human beings). You may be sensing a theme here, but I’m excited to be working for a company focused on changing the world for human beings.
I’ll be doing some usability and interface work, along with front end development, and maybe, just maybe a bit of python while I’m at it. I’m working with an internal team dubbed “Online Services” which sounds a bit generic, but trust me when I say the team itself is remarkable.
I fear that I don’t have a complete understanding of the product we’re actually going to build, but suffice it to say that I’m both incredibly excited, and I also think that you might just be using the software some day.
