=== Weekly Ubuntu Development Update ===
'''Ubuntu Development Update'''

Development of Oneiric (Ubuntu 11.10) is in full swing, we just got Alpha 1 out last week and here’s [[OneiricReleaseSchedule|the list of dates]] that are coming up in the next few weeks:

 * ''June 30th'', [[DebianImportFreeze|Debian Import Freeze]] which means that packages will not be synced automatically any more, but have to be requested manually.
 * ''July 7th'', release of Alpha 2.
 * ''July 11th to 15th'', '''Ubuntu Developer Week!''' A week full of development tutorials, workshops and interactive sessions.
 * ''August 4th'', release of Alpha 3.
 * ''August 11th'', [[FeatureFreeze|Feature Freeze]] until which features have to have mostly landed in Ubuntu. They will of course still have bugs that have to get ironed out, but most of the hard work will be there already.

As you can see times are exciting right now. There is a lot of hard work going on, lots is still broken in Oneiric, but it’s a great time to get your feet wet, try out things and fix a few bugs on the way.

I’m very happy to see that [[http://fullcirclemagazine.org/|Full Circle Magazine]] is now having a new series about Ubuntu Development. [[http://fullcirclemagazine.org/issue-49/|Issue 49]] has the first installment of this. Be sure to check it out!

'''New Contributor'''

||<tablestyle="float:left;"> {{http://daniel.holba.ch/blog/wp-content/plugins/2011/06/9059601.186d5372.560.jpg}} ||
This week I talked to Paolo Sammicheli, who is an Ubuntu Member from the Italian Community. He was involved in several things like translations, marketing, advocacy and testing. He also is an UDS addict and since UDS Jaunty spent his holidays attending it. He says “This cycle I decided to move my interests into development and I’m slowly learning packaging. Spare time is never enough :) ”

I asked Paolo what his personal experience of the development was like and he had this to say:

 * “Yes, I tried some merges and few sync. The experience was good, also because I’ve found in the Italian Dev Team people willing to mentoring me and being already an Ubuntu Member helped me to find easily who-ask-what.“
 * Paolo was struggling a bit to find tasks to work on. Some of the bitesize bugs he tried were solved already, but when he tried a few merges that worked out better for him, because “comparing the previous ubuntu version with the debian version you start understanding how patches works, how tools works and so on.“
 * When merging Paolo found it helpful to get in touch with the person who uploaded it last. A bunch of people were happy to review his merge and upload it. In some cases he didn’t get a reply, which was a bit frustrating. Looks like this is something we can all improve!

'''Get Involved'''

 1. Read the [[http://people.canonical.com/~dholbach/packaging-guide/html/introduction-to-ubuntu-development.html|Introduction to Ubuntu Development]]. It’s a short article which will help you understand how Ubuntu is put together, how the infrastructure is used and how we interact with other projects.
 1. Follow the instructions in the [[http://people.canonical.com/~dholbach/packaging-guide/html/getting-set-up.html|Getting Set Up]] article. A few simple commands, a registration at Launchpad and you should have all the tools you need, and you’re ready to go.
 1. Check out our instructions for [[http://people.canonical.com/~dholbach/packaging-guide/html/fixing-a-bug.html|how to fix a bug in Ubuntu]], they come with small examples that make it easier to visualise what exactly you need to do.

'''Find something to work on'''

Pick a '''[[https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.tag=bitesize|bitesize bug]]'''. These are the bugs we think should be easy to fix. Here’s a few examples:

 * 28906 [[https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firehol/+bug/28906|init script starts before NFS, NIS, DNS (need two stages)]]
 * 785052 [[https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/whois/+bug/785052|Update whois server for “.*.ua” zones]]
 * 773141 [[https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compizconfig-settings-manager/+bug/773141|Playing with options in CCSM can break Unity]]
 * 791467 [[https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cdrdao/+bug/791467|bump gcdmaster dependency on cdrdao to 1:1.2.3-0.1ubuntu2]]
 * 769405 [[https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/latex-beamer/+bug/769405|AppleDouble files present in the package]]

In addition to that there are loads more opportunities over at '''[[http://harvest.ubuntu.com/|Harvest]]'''.

=== Laura Czajkowski: LoCo Team re approvals are underway ===

1 week after being announced, 3 LoCo teams out of a total of 27 teams have submitted applications for re-approval. The LoCo Council is using bugs on Launchpad to track re-approval statuatuses. Teams can also request to have their applications reviewed at the LoCo Council's monthly IRC meeting: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoCouncil/Agenda

More information can be found at: http://www.lczajkowski.com/?p=1037

=== Alan Bell: Ubuntu UK LoCo CDs ===

Alan Bell announced that while his chickens might enjoy playing with the CDs, the Ubuntu UK LoCo would rather send them to people who need them. People on dialup can request a CD by emailing alanbell [at] ubuntu.com with a clear subject saying you would like a CD and then sending a stamped self-addressed envelope large enough to hold a CD to the address he replies with. The LoCo will also be giving CDs to people distributing recycled PCs pre-installed with Ubuntu so that they can also include a CD with the computer, and to people representing Ubuntu at events and conferences.

== Launchpad News ==

## This section is for news from the Launchpad Blog at http://blog.launchpad.net/

=== Coming soon: improved bug subscriptions ===

Due to some bugs, the Launchpad developers have decided to postpone taking the new subscription system out of beta. The new plan is to take it live on June 8th, which will allow them to fix these last few issues. You can join the beta team (https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-beta-testers) if you are interested in helping to test the new subscription system early.

=== Congrats, nigelb and chrisjohnston! ===

Chris Johnston and Nigel Babu just got their first changes into Launchpad. To quote
Jonathan (jml) Lange's talk (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Cxs9OHIBcs&t=17m44s) from UDS:

"I’m not going to kid you, [changing Launchpad is] not easy but it’s sooo worth it, you get to help all these people and you get thunderous applause like I did earlier, and really should have gone to those five guys."

More information can be found at: http://blog.launchpad.net/?p=2467

=== Tilde or not tilde ===

The Launchpad developers are looking to try and clarify who is who when two people share the same real name by also displaying the unique Launchpad ID in the person picker and at the top of the profile pages. Based on the results of a recent survey to try and determine whether to display a tilde (~) before the ID to clarify that it is a person, they have learned that a vast majority of users do not think the tilde is needed. The Teal Squad will now process these results and work on implementing this.

=== Countdown to the pie ===

Developers are racing to fix 203 critical bugs before the Dublin Thunderdome in one month. So far, they have been fixing these bugs at a rate of about 12 per week, which would allow them to meet their goal in about 18 weeks (3 months too late). If they do manage to meet this goal, Jono, Ted, and Neil have each agreed to take a pie in the face.

=== Daniel Holbach: Getting people involved ===

Daniel discusses his top 3 ideas for getting people involved in contributing to Ubuntu. They are:
 1. The project needs to be exciting. The atmosphere needs to be welcoming and friendly.
 2. The documentation needs to be clear.
 3. Contributors need to find their first tasks easily.
He also mentions that people are still actively working on revamping the Packaging Guide and that the ubuntu-dev-tools package contains a bitesize script for marking bugs that are appropriate for new contributors to work on.

=== Jono Bacon: Community Team Plans For Oneiric ===

Jono talks about the different projects that the members of the community team (Jono Bacon, Daniel Holbach, Jorge Castro, David Planella, and Ahmed Kamal) will be working on during the Oneiric development cycle. Some other misceclaneous activities that they will be working on include:
 * A mentoring program
 * Various Classroom events
 * Release Parties
 * Ubuntu Developer Summit
 * and bringing LoCo teams to the next level

== Featured Wiki Tutorial == ## Things Ubuntu-specific are great, but general Linux goings-on are good to, to an extent.
## We don't need to replicate Digg & Slashdot, but certain things are of special interest.
## Just pulling one example from my memory, the story about Indiana schools piloting
## a classroom Linux deployment, a portion of which was Ubuntu, are good. Ubuntu
## release reviews are also common items in this section.

== In The Blogosphere ==

## In this section we want to highlight the blogs that are exceptionally well-written and in-depth.
## Blogs tend to make it easy for low-quality content, so be extra careful on what goes here.
## We should encourage bloggers to spread the word, so this section might be a good way to do so.

Weekly Ubuntu Development Update

Ubuntu Development Update

Development of Oneiric (Ubuntu 11.10) is in full swing, we just got Alpha 1 out last week and here’s the list of dates that are coming up in the next few weeks:

  • June 30th, Debian Import Freeze which means that packages will not be synced automatically any more, but have to be requested manually.

  • July 7th, release of Alpha 2.

  • July 11th to 15th, Ubuntu Developer Week! A week full of development tutorials, workshops and interactive sessions.

  • August 4th, release of Alpha 3.

  • August 11th, Feature Freeze until which features have to have mostly landed in Ubuntu. They will of course still have bugs that have to get ironed out, but most of the hard work will be there already.

As you can see times are exciting right now. There is a lot of hard work going on, lots is still broken in Oneiric, but it’s a great time to get your feet wet, try out things and fix a few bugs on the way.

I’m very happy to see that Full Circle Magazine is now having a new series about Ubuntu Development. Issue 49 has the first installment of this. Be sure to check it out!

This week I talked to Paolo Sammicheli, who is an Ubuntu Member from the Italian Community. He was involved in several things like translations, marketing, advocacy and testing. He also is an UDS addict and since UDS Jaunty spent his holidays attending it. He says “This cycle I decided to move my interests into development and I’m slowly learning packaging. Spare time is never enough Smile :) ”

I asked Paolo what his personal experience of the development was like and he had this to say:

  • “Yes, I tried some merges and few sync. The experience was good, also because I’ve found in the Italian Dev Team people willing to mentoring me and being already an Ubuntu Member helped me to find easily who-ask-what.“
  • Paolo was struggling a bit to find tasks to work on. Some of the bitesize bugs he tried were solved already, but when he tried a few merges that worked out better for him, because “comparing the previous ubuntu version with the debian version you start understanding how patches works, how tools works and so on.“
  • When merging Paolo found it helpful to get in touch with the person who uploaded it last. A bunch of people were happy to review his merge and upload it. In some cases he didn’t get a reply, which was a bit frustrating. Looks like this is something we can all improve!

Get Involved

  1. Read the Introduction to Ubuntu Development. It’s a short article which will help you understand how Ubuntu is put together, how the infrastructure is used and how we interact with other projects.

  2. Follow the instructions in the Getting Set Up article. A few simple commands, a registration at Launchpad and you should have all the tools you need, and you’re ready to go.

  3. Check out our instructions for how to fix a bug in Ubuntu, they come with small examples that make it easier to visualise what exactly you need to do.

Find something to work on

Pick a bitesize bug. These are the bugs we think should be easy to fix. Here’s a few examples:

In addition to that there are loads more opportunities over at Harvest.

Talk to us in #ubuntu-motu on irc.freenode.net to get all your questions answered.

LoCo News

Laura Czajkowski: LoCo Team re approvals are underway

1 week after being announced, 3 LoCo teams out of a total of 27 teams have submitted applications for re-approval. The LoCo Council is using bugs on Launchpad to track re-approval statuatuses. Teams can also request to have their applications reviewed at the LoCo Council's monthly IRC meeting: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoCouncil/Agenda

More information can be found at: http://www.lczajkowski.com/?p=1037

Alan Bell: Ubuntu UK LoCo CDs

Alan Bell announced that while his chickens might enjoy playing with the CDs, the Ubuntu UK LoCo would rather send them to people who need them. People on dialup can request a CD by emailing alanbell [at] ubuntu.com with a clear subject saying you would like a CD and then sending a stamped self-addressed envelope large enough to hold a CD to the address he replies with. The LoCo will also be giving CDs to people distributing recycled PCs pre-installed with Ubuntu so that they can also include a CD with the computer, and to people representing Ubuntu at events and conferences.

More information can be found at: http://www.theopensourcerer.com/?p=2937

Launchpad News

Coming soon: improved bug subscriptions

Due to some bugs, the Launchpad developers have decided to postpone taking the new subscription system out of beta. The new plan is to take it live on June 8th, which will allow them to fix these last few issues. You can join the beta team (https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-beta-testers) if you are interested in helping to test the new subscription system early.

More information can be found at: http://blog.launchpad.net/?p=2490

Congrats, nigelb and chrisjohnston!

Chris Johnston and Nigel Babu just got their first changes into Launchpad. To quote Jonathan (jml) Lange's talk (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Cxs9OHIBcs&t=17m44s) from UDS:

"I’m not going to kid you, [changing Launchpad is] not easy but it’s sooo worth it, you get to help all these people and you get thunderous applause like I did earlier, and really should have gone to those five guys."

More information can be found at: http://blog.launchpad.net/?p=2467

Tilde or not tilde

The Launchpad developers are looking to try and clarify who is who when two people share the same real name by also displaying the unique Launchpad ID in the person picker and at the top of the profile pages. Based on the results of a recent survey to try and determine whether to display a tilde (~) before the ID to clarify that it is a person, they have learned that a vast majority of users do not think the tilde is needed. The Teal Squad will now process these results and work on implementing this.

More information can be found at: http://blog.launchpad.net/?p=2514

Countdown to the pie

Developers are racing to fix 203 critical bugs before the Dublin Thunderdome in one month. So far, they have been fixing these bugs at a rate of about 12 per week, which would allow them to meet their goal in about 18 weeks (3 months too late). If they do manage to meet this goal, Jono, Ted, and Neil have each agreed to take a pie in the face.

Daniel Holbach: Getting people involved

Daniel discusses his top 3 ideas for getting people involved in contributing to Ubuntu. They are:

  1. The project needs to be exciting. The atmosphere needs to be welcoming and friendly.
  2. The documentation needs to be clear.
  3. Contributors need to find their first tasks easily.

He also mentions that people are still actively working on revamping the Packaging Guide and that the ubuntu-dev-tools package contains a bitesize script for marking bugs that are appropriate for new contributors to work on.

Jono Bacon: Community Team Plans For Oneiric

Jono talks about the different projects that the members of the community team (Jono Bacon, Daniel Holbach, Jorge Castro, David Planella, and Ahmed Kamal) will be working on during the Oneiric development cycle. Some other misceclaneous activities that they will be working on include:

  • A mentoring program
  • Various Classroom events
  • Release Parties
  • Ubuntu Developer Summit

  • and bringing LoCo teams to the next level
