I support Christian Ehrhardt <christian.ehrhardt@canonical.com>'s request to become Debian Developer, uploading.
I have not worked with Christian Ehrhardt directly on Debian (no sponsored uploads, just some discussions) but we have been working together on Ubuntu for almost 2 years and I have seen all his contributions to the Debian community along the way. He is a high skilled engineer and a very helpful and respectful person, and I have no doubt he will be a good addition to the Debian project.

I have personally worked with Christian Ehrhardt <christian.ehrhardt@canonical.com> (key 92D618F668F22F8ED80BEEF5BA3E29338280B242) for almost 2 years,
and I know Christian Ehrhardt can be trusted to be a full member of Debian, and have unsupervised, unrestricted upload rights, right now.

I have worked with Christian Ehrhardt for a number of years in Ubuntu and
find him to be conscientious and methodical in his work, technically astute,
and trustworthy.

I support Christian Ehrhardt <christian.ehrhardt@canonical.com>'s request to become Debian Developer, uploading.

I have worked with Christian on Debian on a few occasions, and on
Ubuntu on a lot of opportunities during last year, and he has always
been very conscious and technically skilled to deal with whatever
feedbacks I offered.

He has sponsored many packages for me on Ubuntu, and always gave me
solid technical advice on how to proceed whenever an issue showed up.

His work maintaining QEMU/libvirt and the whole virtualization stack
in Ubuntu has been excellent, and he is always mindful of the impacts
that his changes might have to Debian users.  As one of the (probably
many) people who encouraged him to apply and become a Debian
Developer, I am very happy to be now writing this advocacy for him.  I
am certain that Christian will be a very nice member of our community
and will make a positive impact in the health of our core
virtualization packages.

I support Christian Ehrhardt <christian.ehrhardt@canonical.com>'s
request to become Debian Developer, uploading.

I have worked with Christian Ehrhardt in Ubuntu for over five years.
Although I have only occasionally handled his contributions at the
Debian end, I routinely see and review his work maintaining packages at
the Ubuntu end, diligently cleaning up and sending all appropriate
outstanding delta to Debian.

I support Christian Ehrhardt <christian.ehrhardt@canonical.com>'s
request to become Debian Developer, uploading.

I have worked with Christian for a couple of months on Ubuntu stuff,
where he has clearly demonstrated his technical abilities and skills.
Whilst working with him and reviewing his work, I see that he always
sends patches and MRs to Debian whenever that's appropriate to do.

He has also helped me (and still does) with a bunch of packaging work
and reviews, which makes me confident in vouching for his DD application.

And besides the technical work, Christian is absolutely kind, helpful,
and always makes time to help other people and thus I feel that making
him a Debian member would be a huge addition and a net win for the
Debian project.

I support Christian Ehrhardt <christian.ehrhardt@canonical.com>'s request to
become Debian Developer, uploading.

I am familiar with Christian's packaging skills mostly from his Ubuntu work. He
knows packaging in depth a and routinely deals with complex packages with many
interdependencies. When fixing bugs he routinely submits patches upstream (be
it Debian or "true" upstream), thus improving the whole Free Software ecosystem
and demonstrating to be able to deal effectively with different projects and
communities.

Christian is also an great person to work with: he is helpful, kind, and
his code reviews and in general his feedback are always precise and insightful.
He will be an exceptional member of the Debian project.

I support Christian Ehrhardt <christian.ehrhardt@canonical.com>'s request to become Debian Developer, uploading.
I have worked with Christian Ehrhardt on maintaining and developing src:dpdk and src:mdevctl for more than 5 years now,
and I can personally vouch not only for his technical ability to work on packages and to solve complex
software issues and provide excellent support for our users, but most importantly for his support
of Free and Open Source Software and the Debian project. He is always eager and happy to help fellow co-wokers and
Debian maintainers/developers with Linux issues. He is already an Ubuntu developer employed by
Canonical, so allowing him to contribute first-hand to Debian will further serve to strenghten our
relationship with this important downstream distribution.
