Launchpad Workshop at UDS-R
After the success of the Launchpad clinics at the last UDS-Q we’ve decided to run some more! This time removed the sterile name of clinic and called them workshops.
If you want to get involved, scratch that itch, learn how to fix that irksome bug that has been bugging you’re not alone. Everyone probably has at least one that they’d like to see fixed. The problem is now knowing how to fix them or maybe they don’t know how to set up the Launchpad development environment, well lucky for you we have a lot of Launchpad developers at UDS-R and we’d like to help you help get bugs fixed!
The idea being if you have a bug you would like to fix, or pointed in the right direction that we’ll be there to help you get on the road to offer advice on every step of the Launchpad development process from Lines of code, to branch reviews to getting things done. We’ll have EC2 instances ready for you to develop on, so if you haven’t already gone through the process of setting up local Launchpad development on your machine, you don’t need to worry.
I have created a wiki page on which you should register if you’re going to be attending either of the clinics. Just list your name and the ID of the bug(s) you want to work on on that page. We’ll check the bugs out and get in touch with you if we think they’re too big to work on in the clinics – in which case we’ll try and work with you to get them fixed over a longer period. We’ve added the event to summit schedule, for Tuesday and Thursday of UDS so why not sign up and come along!
If you’ve never contributed before, Graham Binns has written a useful guide to contributing to Launchpad. He has also done up a screencast on fixing a bug in Launchpad.
