Ubuntu Developer Week
Ubuntu Developer Week happened from Sep 1st to Sep 5th in #ubuntu-classroom on irc.freenode.net. 25 IRC sessions happened with involvement from developers of all sorts of teams. At peak times we had more than 200 participants. Here a quick overview what happened throughout the week.
- Day 1:
"Packaging 101" was packed with people and although we just had one hour to go through the bare-bone structure of the hello-debhelper package, we had a great time and the participants were a very sharp bunch asked very clever questions. Awesome!
Jorge Castro’s "Upstream Bug Linkages" also went great. He got lots of questions about the process of linking Ubuntu bugs to Upstream bugs, which helps a lot to bring developers closer together. In addition to the session log, check out Bugs/Upstream for more information.
Iulian Udrea had a very busy time in "Introduction to MOTU". Everybody wanted to know more about our Master of the Universe and how to get involved. Iulian covered a lot of ground, talking about processes, meetings and people and gave a good feeling for how the team works.
Celso Providelo was up next and talked about Soyuz and all that Jazz". Lots and lots of questions came up and Celso did his best to answer all of them, he even drew a fancy diagram to explain what Soyuz is all about. I’d like to not that the audience of this session likes Rock’n'Roll more than Jazz.
Pedro Villavivencio Garrido spent almost an hour talking about tips and tricks working with "Ubuntu and GNOME QA". If you know Pedro you know how enthusiastic he is about spreading the Ubuntu and GNOME love and that’s what he did in the session. He covered using GNOME’s Bugzilla, talked about the GNOME Love project, freedesktop components and lots of other stuff. Awesome!
