Re: [Ubuntu Oregon] New Guy

[Walter Lapchynski]

Regarding documentation, at least on the wiki, you can get started
right now. Just log in and edit where you see fit. If you wanted to do
something more formal, such as [Ubuntu Manual][1], that's a bit of a
more involved process, but really anyone can branch their code, make
changes, and issue a merge request. Bazaar is a little bit different
than git and Launchpad is certainly different than Github, so the
workflow's a bit different. This should be well described, but let us
know if you have problems.

Regarding bug triage, the [wiki has tons of documentation][2] on that
subject. Join the [Bug Squad on Launchpad][3] as well as their mailing
list. Their IRC channel (#ubuntu-bugs) is helpful, too. There's also a
subset of the team called [Bug Control][4] that has access to change
everything, such as every priority and status. I would read the wiki
as if you were trying to create an application for the Bug Control
team and start making some changes. You can send them to the mailing
list or IRC (or here; there's more than a couple of us here that are
on the team, including Bug Master General Himself, Brian Murray) for
review and feedback.

Once you've contributed some meaningful things and given that you are
committed to making further contributions, we can work on making you
an [Ubuntu Member][5], too!

Re: [Ubuntu Oregon] New Guy

[Billy Brawner]

So, I've been looking and I think I'd like to help with bug triaging. I 
think that would be a great way for me to learn a little bit more about 
Ubuntu development while still making a contribution. I'll take a look 
to see if I can write any tutorials or documentation as well.

welcome.. lots of documentation and tutorials could be written I am sure.
Also if you know python lots of stuff use that as well.  Thanks for
anything you do contribute.  I'm over in Salem.

Re: [Ubuntu Oregon] New Guy

[Walter Lapchynski]

There's lots of information on the wiki (wiki.ubuntu.com) including
places to contribute. Each flavor has its own branches, too, if you
get interested in a particular one.

I would suggest since you're new to Linux, it would be good to play
around some more before you start diving headlong into development.

Again, let us know if you need further help, whether it be on
contributing or simply about support.

Re: [Ubuntu Oregon] New Guy

[Billy Brawner]

No, I'm completely new to the Linux software. Thanks!

I am really interested in development but I'm not quite sure that I'm ready
to jump right into the programming so I think I will take a look at the
other areas that could use help while I'm learning more about programming.
I remember seeing something about that on the Ubuntu forums so I'll go take
a look at that again.

I have noticed that there are various flavors of Ubuntu but I haven't
really taken the time to research them and see what their differences are.
I just downloaded the standard Ubuntu flavor but I'll do some research on
the others and see if any of them suit me better.

Thank you for all your help! I'll get on that IRC channel once I get the
chance.

Billy

Re: [Ubuntu Oregon] New Guy

[Walter Lapchynski]

Wow, cool, you're really new! Have you used Linux at all before? If
not, welcome to the wonderful world of open source software!!!

Most people tend to think of development when it comes to contributing
to open source software. Several of us here have done some sort of
development or another and could walk you through the process.

However, if you just want to get your foot in the door and get a feel
for the community, and how things are done (a good precusor to
development) there's plenty of other things that need to be done:
graphics, documentation, communication, marketing, testing, bug
triage, leadership, etc. If you want help stepping through these
things, don't hesitate to ask!

If you are interested solely in development, you should certainly take
a look at the Ubuntu SDK which is intended for mobile devices but
given our goal of convergence, is also applicable to the Ubuntu
desktop. It's really easy to start building apps with it.

You also may notice mentions of things like Lubuntu (the team I mainly
contribute to) and Kubuntu (Scarlett's main team). There are different
"flavors" of Ubuntu where major components of the desktop are
essentially replaced. You might look into trying them, too. They're
still Ubuntu, but different takes on it if you will.

Any other questions, problems, concerns?

Feel free to come join us on IRC at #ubuntu-us-or on Freenode!

Re: [Ubuntu Oregon] New Guy

[Billy Brawner]

I've been using Ubuntu for maybe a week now, version 14.10. I haven't 
yet made any contributions because I'm still deciding on where I'd like 
to get involved. App development has caught my eye, as well as web apps 
and core development but I'm still relatively new to it all so I've been 
researching it all before I jump into one specific part of it all. i am 
familiar with GitHub though and I'm confident using the command line.


I don't typically get out of Bend unless I have a reason to (I think the 
LoCo events would be sufficient reason though.) So I shouldn't have any 
problems getting over the mountains. I've done the drive plenty of times.


Thanks!

Wow, exciting stuff! How long you been using Ubuntu? What version are
you using? Have you made any contributions to Ubuntu and/or open
source at present?

Lastly, since most of us are in the valley, you get out of Bend much?

p.s. have fun in Mexico!
