Hello, When: Sat Jan 11 1:00pm - late Where: W20-557 <http://sipb.mit.edu/office/> What: Debian/Ubuntu bug-squashing hackathon <http://sipb.mit.edu/iap/#8> Who: Anybody who wants to get involved with Linux distribution development
This is an opportunity both to get a little more familiar with the systems that many SIPB projects build on, and to give back to them and the larger free software community. We're currently in between the last alpha and the first beta of Ubuntu's next "Long Term Support" release, as well as in the middle of the development cycle of Debian's. SIPB has run this sort of hackathon a couple of times before, and it's been popular and has gotten good work done. We'll have a couple of Debian and Ubuntu developers to help you with understanding how these projects work and to help get fixes into Debian and Ubuntu. If you're looking to get involved with a SIPB project that uses Debian or Ubuntu and particularly Debian packaging, I especially encourage you to come, as this will be a good chance to learn more about packaging and potentially to help these projects by getting some of our local fixes upstream. As with all SIPB hackathons, we'll be getting snacks and dinner. We hope to see you there! This event is open to anyone interested in developing the Debian and/or Ubuntu platforms.
