Join the the Ubuntu Engineering teams in celebrating the opening of the current Ubuntu Online Summit edition and learn more about the plans to shape the future of Ubuntu.

Web app team roadmap and feedback session

Currently we have the Ambience QML theme and a similar Ambiance HTML5 theme for local HTML5 applications. We don't have a mechanism for changing the theme and having those changes respected across the range of apps that the device can have. We don't have any mechanism for remote web applications to reference the current device theme. For accessibility or aesthetic reasons a user might choose a different base font size, different primary and accent colours etc. If all the apps use a local copy of the ambience theme then they are going to be inconsistent. It should be possible for the core phone to expose it's current theme for apps to use. If we can serve up the theme in a context that can be shared to remote web applications then we have an opportunity for a much more consistent visual experience than other platforms can achieve.

We want to be able to deliver a desktop environment using the same tools developed for the phone, including image-based updates and confined applications. This details the challenges faced, solutions, and work items that will get us there.

You might have heard of this system-image client thing that performs updates on the phone and snappy. What is it exactly? How do I interact with it? What secret functionality does it contain? In this talk I'll present a quick tour of the tools, their configuration, and the features that are available to you both as a developer via the D-Bus API, and as a user via the command line.

Getting started with Ubuntu HTML5 apps, Cordova and Online Accounts

Workshop session: Scopes keywords & departments

Unity 8 is going to require a brand new set of desktop documentation, and provides a nice opportunity to do something different and hopefully better. Discuss ways to make it easier to create, update, and contribute to the docs.

What work needs to be done to bring Snappy to Ubuntu phones - systemd - bootloaders, initrd - clicks to snaps

This is a planning meeting for the Python roadmap toward the next LTS. Goals include Python 3 only on the default install; Python 3 by default for system scripts; Python 3.5 transition plan; working with Debian on Python 3; removal of python-support. Other topics welcome! Slides: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/11841WexLtX3gM1mGs_Ukq-JcxVxqKBihemjC8vpgJxA/edit#slide=id.p

Rick demos how he tests and iterates on his application during development

Planning session for further development of the Ubuntu Help app made for Ubuntu phone.

We need to make debugging charms easier for users. `juju share`is to make it easy for people to share their sessions with others, and `juju sos`is "dump all my logs somewhere" to help with debugging

- share as much of our known plans s possible - hotspot, vpn, nitz, check backlogs

Let's talk about the installer for a moment. This includes both ubiquity and debian-installer. Are there missing features that would be useful for a large number of people? Are there current papercut bugs we could address? Larger issues that really annoy? We can't guarantee we'll get to everything, but we'll try our best.

Run Autopilot tests from the SDK A Demo on whats done, and what needs to be done.

what are they, how to write them, and most importantly, what helpers exists for app developers (sdk, system services, unity8)

This focuses on how to improve getting more people to get their memberships.

In this session we'd like to discuss: - Backlog review - Gaps in our test/CI story - “deduplication” of content in snapps - Removing external dependencies - Ubuntu Core clean up (image code & file system)
