Ubuntu Dev hangouts – Daniel Holbach's blog

Last week I did two public video hangouts. The first one got a bit full, because I had not made it a hangout-on-air. Unfortunately Hangouts on Air don’t provide a chat widget, which makes communication a bit hard. So in the second one I used ubuntuonair.com which adds an IRC widget to the live stream. You can see the recorded session here. As you can see from the comment on the video (and others told me too), I should have used the Ubuntu on Air account for this. We are constantly improving. 🙂

Now I need your advice, requests and ideas. These hangouts are about Ubuntu development, so about packaging, integration of software into Ubuntu and the like. What would you like to see in the next sessions?

The schedule for the hangouts is:

Tuesdays at 15:00 UTC and
Thursdays 8:00 UTC.

Please comment below and I’ll try to prepare a bit of content for our next sessions.

Hi Daniel,

Can you talk about integrating a program into HUD?

Keep up the great work!

  I just talked to somebody on the Desktop team and they said the following: “basically, using gtk and a traditional menu should do it – same for Qt apps”.

Hi!
I’ll be happy to see how and were you choose a bug to fix, and how you do it effectively.
I’m totally new but a “wanna be”, so I don’t know if you can do it in the hangout.
Thanks!
David

Hello Daniel!
In California, 15:00 UTC is 8:00 AM. Many students like myself start school at that time. And 8:00 UTC is equal to 1:00 AM!
I would love to hang out with the developers, but the time could use an improvement. Thanks.

  If you want to mail any of the development lists to ask anyone who
  lives in your timezone to do hangouts at a different time, that might
  work. I live in Europe and these are the best times I can offer.
  
  Until then I fear you will need to make do with the recorded sessions.
