=== Get ready for Ubuntu Developer Week ===

Get ready for [[UbuntuDeveloperWeek|Ubuntu Developer Week]] from Monday, 11th July to Friday, 15th July. We will have one full week of online IRC sessions which will introduce you to Ubuntu Development and hacking on Ubuntu-related projects. Sometimes these sessions will take the form of Q&A sessions, sometimes of presentations and sometimes hands-on workshops.

Here’s the links for the impatient:

 * How to join in: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDeveloperWeek/JoiningIn
 * Timetable of the sessions: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDeveloperWeek
 * Facebook event: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=228659263827481

A lot of developers readily agreed to give sessions, so we have a wide variety of sessions this time around:

 * Packaging-related: Intro to Ubuntu development, specific packaging sessions: Mono, Python, Java, collaboration with Debian, fixing ARM build failures.
 * Project demos: Desktop Team Q&A, hacking on Launchpad, dotdee, Upstart, nux, hacking on compiz, hacking on Ubuntu websites, Lubuntu development, project lightning talks.
 * QA-related sessions: working with apport-reported bugs, debugging the kernel, intro to LAVA, how to triage bugs.
 * hacking sessions: porting to gobject introspection, making use of Launchpad translations, app creation with QML, writing Ensemble formulas.
