 new releases of Firefox with security fixes and new features are
 delivered to the millions of users who rely on Firefox as their
 default web browser.

\li I also worked on other aspects of Ubuntu and its desktop,
 including maintaining various GNOME applications and libraries in
 Ubuntu and upstream in Debian, and resolving package build issues

 package systems to bring the latest release of Jami to users
 across several GNU/Linux distributions including Debian, Ubuntu,
 Trisquel, Fedora, and openSUSE; and creating and maintaining
 Jenkins pipelines for continually testing, validating, and
 deploying various parts of Jami's code bases.

\li I also helped write, edit, and publish several technical
 articles on the Jami blog about the internals of Jami, worked on
 improving Jami's documentation, and served as community liaison
 between the Jami core team and the wider free software community
 of Jami users to help facilitate communications and relations
