Advancing Hardware Enablement for Ubuntu: A Canonical Strategy
The continuous evolution of hardware presents both opportunities and challenges for operating system platforms. As an engineering director at Canonical, I will present a comprehensive overview of our strategies and methodologies for hardware enablement on Ubuntu. This talk will cover the spectrum of supported hardware types, the intricacies of our certification program, and our collaborative efforts with hardware manufacturers to ensure Ubuntu's compatibility and performance. We will delve into our time-to-market strategies that enable us to release Ubuntu preloaded products concurrently with other OS offerings. The session will also highlight our scalable approach to quality assurance, including automatic sanity checks and energy consumption optimization, as well as our extensive regression testing protocols. Lastly, we will discuss our ambitions for elevating the quality of Linux hardware enablement to unprecedented levels.

My name is Rex Tsai, a passionate open source enthusiast and a hands-on developer deeply involved in Taiwan's open source local community. My journey with open source has been quite an adventure, and it's something that's close to my heart. About 12 years back, I took a leap into an exciting role at Canonical, starting off in the trenches as a software engineer. Fast forward to today, and you'll find me steering the ship as an engineering director. It's been quite the ride, leading dynamic teams across multiple countries, and I'm all about fostering collaboration and innovation. I'm always looking forward to the next challenge and opportunity to innovate with my teams. Let's connect and create something awesome together!
自從年輕開始就熱於參與開放原始碼活動與軟體計畫，長期參與台灣本地開源社群的活動。由衷的相信開放原始碼活動的精神，這種文化深深的刻入我的內心。大約十二年前加入 Canonical 成為一位軟體工程師，時至今日、我被授予工程總監的角色帶領的來自多個國家的團隊。一路走來相當精彩，我總是期待的下一個挑戰，並與我的團隊尋找創新的機會。Let's connect and create something awesome together!
