This is a guest post from Daniel Holbach, who will be posting updates about Ubuntu Development. (Original Post). Ubuntu Development Update Let’s have a look at the release schedule together: It’s Alpha 2 week! So […]
Get ready for 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.
The third episode in Daniel Siegel‘s ‘GNOME Screencast’ series, which aims to introduce new developers to the GNOME platform, is now online and ready to view.
Development tools for Ubuntu - there are a few of them, but which one is the best for C++ development? We dig around in and get our hands dirty with the first iteration of our new series, Ask OMG! where we try to answer reader questions. Read on for a full rundown on the most popular IDEs for Ubuntu!
We are one week away from Alpha 2, so right now you can see lots of developers trying to get as many things into Ubuntu Oneiric as possible: AirPrint, theme changes and loads of other stuff. After this milestone we will have only 4 weeks left until Feature Freeze at which stage most of the features should have have landed.
This article will cover mostly bazaar as git is still complex for part II. Bazaar is mostly widely used along with Launchpad, so this article would also contain lots of launchpad and bazaar references. Before reading this, please read the previous post.
It's the beginning of yet another cycle of bug fixing, squashing, smashing and thrashing! The One Hundred Papercuts Project is back for the Oneiric cycle, with lots of tiny and trivial bugs, a.k.a Papercuts, waiting to be fixed by everyday people like yourself. Make the jump to find out how you can help.
Oneiric development is in full swing and with Feature Freeze still 7 weeks away, most of the intrusive changes are landing in the development release as we speak. Alpha 2 will be released in two weeks which should be a great time to check out what's currently happening. As always: the status overview might give you an idea how each feature is progressing.
The latest instalment of Daniel Siegel's 'GNOME Screencasts' series, which aims to introduce new developers to the GNOME platform, is now online.
Picking up where the great gtk+ kick-start tutorial by Alberto Ruiz ended Daniel Siegel decided to introduce a new way of teaching new comers how to develop your own GNOME apps. His new initiative will introduce screencasts that will teach you basics of the GNOME platform and language bindings such as python, JS, C, Vala, etc...
This week has been busy. Lots of bits and pieces are coming together in Oneiric and the status overview might give you an idea how each feature is progressing. If you look at the release schedule for Ubuntu 11.10 you can see that Oneiric is still in the development phase, where most of the heavy lifting is being done and where things are still broken. Still it's a great time to get involved and fix a few issues early on. Check out the last section of this post to find out how to get started.
