Make your first open source contribution
Launchpad and the Open Documentation Academy Live in Málaga
Launchpad is a web-based platform to support collaborative software development for open source projects. It offers a comprehensive suite of tools including bug tracking, code hosting , translation management, and package building
Launchpad is tightly integrated with the Ubuntu ecosystem, serving as a central hub for Ubuntu development and community contributions. Its features are designed to streamline the process of managing, developing, and distributing software in a collaborative environment.
Launchpad aims to foster strong community engagement by providing features that support collaboration, community management, and user participation, positioning itself as a central hub for open source communities.
Canonical’s Open Documentation Academy is a collaboration between Canonical’s documentation team and open source newcomers, experts, and those in-between, to help us all improve documentation, become better writers, and better open source contributors.
A key aim of the project is to set the standard for inclusive and welcoming collaboration while providing real value for both the contributors and the projects involved in the programme.
