Re: [ubuntu-uk] Anyone want to bring their expert knowledge of Ubuntu/Debian packaging to Manchester, UK on 21st April?
Sorry for the delay in responding to this. Tickets can be acquired from herehttp://ucubed2013.eventbrite.co.uk/, and are sold on a pay-what-you-want basis. Once our costs are covered, any excess funds will be donated to Madlab, the venue where we'll be hosting it. There will be some scheduled talks and some pot luck talks. The schedule will be finalised soon, but there will be some talks covering some of the different ways to contribute to Ubuntu, including bug triage, ISO testing, app development and, provided we can find someone with the knowledge, packaging. There will also be the come-along-and-talk-about-something-you-think-people-will-find-interesting track, so if you don't want to spend the entire day hearing about Ubuntu, there will be plenty of others to listen to.

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...
