Mike Gabriel
Worked on the canonical/mir repository over a two-month period, focusing on improving the reliability and maintainability of the test infrastructure. Addressed a critical issue in the CMake-based build system by ensuring test files were referenced relative to the build directory, which reduced flaky failures in CI and improved test discovery. Additionally, enhanced the clarity of the test suite by correcting typos in C++ test function names, making failure reports more readable and easing onboarding for new contributors. The work centered on build system configuration, C++, and testing, with an emphasis on code hygiene and long-term test suite stability.

Feb 1, 2026February 2026: Maintenance emphasis on test suite hygiene in canonical/mir. Delivered a targeted bug fix by correcting typos in test function names under tests/window_management_tests/test_{floating,minimal}_window_manager.cpp, based on commit b3c05e4816cc53c9e907ed041baa30d548fe0ce2. This change improves readability, reduces ambiguity in failure reports, and accelerates onboarding for new contributors. No production changes; CI stability improves; establishes a stronger baseline for future test-suite improvements.
