Hello Ubuntu Server,

The purpose of this communication is to provide a status update and
highlights for any interesting subjects from the Ubuntu Server Team. If
you would like to reach the server team, you can find us at
the #ubuntu-server channel on Freenode. Alternatively, you can sign up
and use the Ubuntu Server Team mailing list [0] or visit the
Ubuntu Server discourse hub [1] for more
discussion.

## Spotlight: Bryce Harrington
Keeping with the theme of "bringing them back into the fold", we are
proud
to announce that Bryce Harrington has rejoined Canonical on the Ubuntu
Server
team. In his former tenure at Canonical, he maintained the X.org stack
for
Ubuntu and helped bridge us from the old 'edit your own xorg.org' days,
swatted GPU hang bugs on Intel, and contributed to Launchpad
development.

Home-based in Oregon, with around 20 years of open source development
experience. Bryce created the Inkscape project, and he is currently a
board member of the X.org Foundation. He joins us most recently from
Samsung Research America where he was a Senior Open Source Developer and
the
release manager for the Cairo and Wayland projects. Bryce will be
helping us
tackle the development and maintenance of Ubuntu Server packages. We are
thrilled to have his additional expertise to help spread the wealth of
software and packaging improvements that help make Ubuntu great. When
he's not
building software, he is building things in his woodworking shop.

Welcome (back) Bryce (bryce on Freenode)!
