Btw, Biella's awesome -- talk to her if you get a chance (and tell her hi from me). She's an anthropologist who studies open source; I've never seen a talk by her that wasn't fascinating. Don't skip the keynote. >> 10:30 - 11:15 Why Launchpad? - jml >> Overview of Launchpad, what its for and why you'd want to use it. >> 11:15 - 11:45 The plan for bugs - BjornT >> How the bug tracker helps bridge the gap for ubuntu and upstreams. >> Bug tasks, remote bug trackers and comment syncing > >Title ideas: >- "Every single bug in open source" >- "All the world's bugs" Great title suggestions, especially the first. >> 11:45 - 12:15 The plan for translations - jtv >> How does LP handle translations and what we do now and will do in the >> future to help translations flow between ubuntu and upstreams > >No title ideas here.

I just spend five minutes trying to come up with a catchy title and totally failing. But something conveying that idea of allowing translators to be translators instead of programmers might be good -- that's a key thing about Launchpad translations. Launchpad's sending the translations upstream is what makes it possible for someone to contribute translations without being familiar with upstream's build process, etc. >> 13:30 - 14:15 Ubuntu Distributed Development - james_w >> What is UDD all about, and how is it going to change the world "Ubuntu Distributed Development: Package Like It's 1999!" ...no wait, maybe that's not quite right :-). How about: "Ubuntu Distributed Development: Connecting Packagers, Patchers, and Upstreams." Not so catchy, I dunno; it does convey the general idea at least. (I think a good title meets one of these criteria: either it directly conveys what the talk is about to someone who doesn't already know, or it's enigmatic enough to tantalize them into reading the detailed description.) >> 13:15 - 14:45 Soyuz and Build from recipes - al-maisan and mwh? >> How do packages get built, and what changes are coming, what is a >> recipe? "Soyuz and Build: Making Binary Packages a Solved Problem" (or, if you can be more specific about the changes that are coming, then we could try to come up with a title that communicates that. For example, if it's about making it easier to produce alpha/beta packages for testing, and UI to communicate that to users, then that might be worth conveying in the title.) >> 14:45 - 15:15 Code imports, code reviews and patch forwarding - jelmer and >> abentley This one has the potential to be really exciting. At the end of the Grand Vision: every upstream's code is available (and up-to-date) in Launchpad; anyone can branch it; anyone can post a branch with a change; anyone can get that new branch in patch form; any patch out there on the Net can be automatically represented as a branch against that project's VCS import; you can build a package from any branch, to enable users to test the patch that that branch represents... This is huge stuff. We may not be implementing that all at once, but I think it's important that the audience understand the big picture as well as what's coming in the immediate future. How to convey all that in a title? "Code Imports and Patch Forwarding: Increasing Upstreams' Surface Area" ? (Tim, I saw your updated page with new talk names after writing the above, but I'll post the suggestions anyway in case you want to incorporate any ideas from them.) >> 15:45 - 16:30 Drizzle - an upstream's view - Monty Taylor >> How has LP helped the drizzle project be more awesome than ever before >> 16:45 - 17:30 Ask the devs - or hands on hacking >> Panel discussion if there is interest, devolving into hands on hacking >> >> Now... we probably want sexier talk names. I dunno; these really do convey what the talk is about, and someone looking for an upstream's take on Launchpad (as opposed to a Launchpad dev's take on Launchpad) will see that the Drizzle talk is exactly that. -K _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
