Re: [ubuntu-uk] Fwd: QA/ISO testing talk, demo or workshop at UCubed in Manchest on 21st April
Hi Phill, Sorry for the really late reply. I dropped the ball on this one, like I did in my high school geography class :) Our vision for the event (at least on the technical side) is to provide enough information to attendees to get started contributing in the each of the areas being covered. I don't know what would be required to get people up to speed on ISO testing, so I'm going to leave that up to you. Generally, I would suggest some hands-on experience, such as a workshop, perhaps preceded with a presentation providing on overview of what to expect in the workshop. The event will be a day long with two tracks and several topics planned for each track, so you're not going to have to give more than a couple of hours in total. Just to confirm, it's planned for Sunday 21st April in Madlab in Manchester's Northern Quarter. If you can make it along then that would be amazing. You're the expert here so I'll leave the content up to you, but if you plan for approximately two hours of teaching, then that'll be great.

Hi Chris, Yeah, 2 hours will give me time to run through the basics. to speed things up can I ask that you let people know that having these [1, 2] with them if they want to follow me without losing time would be a great help. A couple of questions: 1) What time does it start (and what time can I get in) 2) Will there be a projector / big screen for me to plug my laptop into.

Sorry, I forgot to add, that if people want to pre-read the information that I will be covering the classroom sessions were all logged [1] if they want some background. I expect people to have a launchpad account so that they can file bugs, and also have installed zsync to speed things up if there are respins before final release.

Hi Phill, We'll be running it between 10-4, and we'll be booking the place from 9-5 to allow time for setup and teardown. Fell free to arrive any time after 9am, though we won't the finalising the timetable until later this week, so you might not need to arrive that early. I'll keep you posted on that. And yes, there will be a projector and screen for you to use.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Anyone want to bring their expert knowledge of Ubuntu/Debian packaging to Manchester, UK on 21st April?
I am definitely interested in *how* to package... I have created some small solutions, programmed in C, and was hoping to try to Debian package them at some point Does anyone know where to get info on how to package straight from a git repo (in this instance Github)? I use checkinstall, but this doesn't create a source package, or a package of quality enough to distribute...
