Hello everybody, as we have reached Feature Freeze now is a time where more and more interested Ubuntu users are going to upgrade to 12.04. This is also a great opportunity in terms of bringing people on board in fixing bugs.
I'd like to propose that until release we hold Friday FixIt Fridays (if somebody feels creative and has a better suggestion for a name, please let me know) every Friday until release. This would be a day where we invite interested contributors to #ubuntu-motu, tell them to read the new Packaging Guide before and maybe advertise a list of TODO items we compiled before. It would be great to have some of us in the channel where we can answer questions which come up and maybe sponsor some of the resulting patches. Obviously everyone can get involved in fixing bugs at any time, but making this a weekly event will make this interesting and inviting. We just need to make sure that somebody is in #ubuntu-motu to answer questions every now and then and review a patch or problem occasionally. If we all keep an eye on it and spend a little bit of time each, this could be what the Sponsorship Friday was 2 weeks ago. By just being there and helping out a bit, we are going to have an atmosphere of fixing bugs together, which for new starters is just great. I will mention this tomorrow in the weekly development update and I would appreciate you being around in #ubuntu-motu and helping out a little. Also please help spread the news. Also will this give us feedback about what we might want to fix in tools or documentation. If you have any suggestions or questions, please share them here. :-) Have a great day, Daniel -- Get involved in Ubuntu development! developer.ubuntu.com/packaging And follow @ubuntudev on identi.ca/twitter.com/facebook.com/gplus.to -- ubuntu-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
