15.10 - 1.3 release The upcoming cycle the focus is on convergence. Complete and as fast toolkit for other form factors and for devices with other capabilities. The emphasis here is on capability. Not only form factor or device mode. The next release (1.3) of the UITK will adopt to the host environment according to its capabilities. Like input capabilities, size and others.

The focus of this session is to collect questions and ideas from the application developers. We will cover both UITK and tools.

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.

The Ubuntu Component Store allows app developers to install pre-built reusable components with a simple "ucs install" command. What we'd like to see happen is a large library of useful QML and binary components build up for Ubuntu app development, similarly to how that's happened for Python or Node.js or Ruby. Need your QML app to be able to run a shell command, or process images, or use Python, or include a well-written existing QML component? Simply "ucs install" it; no C++ or Makefiles required. And if you've written a reusable thing, add it to the Ubuntu Component Store and then everyone can make use of it. Here we'll talk about what's already done for UCS and how to encourage people to contribute components to it, to start that ball rolling.

talk about using jasmine and autopilot; helpers that exist, and how to test your webapp

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

Tasks for implementing features and fixes through the 15.10 release, including finishing the "reboot" series initial release

Tasks for implementing features and fixes through the 15.10 release

In this session we will deploy a relatively complex web application (Reddit) onto a cloud and scale it up and down as an example of how to use ubuntu's tools to solve orchestration problems.

Randall Ross' update on POWER and Ubuntu

In this session we'll be fielding user questions on how to use Juju and write and deploy Juju charms.

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

The Landscape systems management tool helps you monitor, manage and update your entire Ubuntu infrastructure from a single interface. This session will include a demo of the landscape interface, and how to get started using it.

Let's find a way to credit people contributing to the charm community some credits on a public cloud.

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.

Be part of the UOS, in french. This session should be set at the end of the event because it will aims to do a summary of the others sessions. Nous allons proposer une session en français afin de résumer ce qu'il a été conclut dans l'ensemble des autres sessions de l'UOS. C'est le meilleur moyen de retrouver la communauté francophone d'ubuntu pour en savoir plus sur l'orientation des travaux pour la prochaine itération d'ubuntu. Tout les intéressés, bloggeurs, curieux, (...) seront invités à suivre cette session francophone et à poser leurs questions !

This blueprint is for Ubuntu Women 15.10 cycle.

The purpose of this meeting is to discuss different plans and ideas to bring new contributors to the many different teams, since Lubuntu lacks of regular contributors. How to motivate them and how to keep them motivated is the key of the discussion, in this round-table session. We then invite all team-leaders to join us and help us perfect this plan. The Admin team has also came up with some suggestions that would benefit all distributions, although we need to first, perfect our plan before introducing it to other people outside Lubuntu. This is an attempt to gather resources and knowledge to empower the Open Source world. We also want to use this session to plan LxQt, what we want to bring to Lubuntu 15.10, to discuss the need to find a communications manager, as well as a community manager and some other important topics that may arise.

This session focuses on the state of the leadership, the problems that leaders, and how to solve them.

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

What features and capabilities are required to be in Unity 8 before it can replace Unity 7 as the default desktop environment in Ubuntu.

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.

Review Core Apps and 3rd party apps that will work well across phones, tablets and desktops. Identify missing features that would improve the convergence experience. Pick which apps to include in the default snappy desktop image.

Learn where to get the Unity 8 code and build dependencies, setup your local development environment, build and run Unity 8. Get an overview of the code layout, how to make changes and submit them in a merge proposal.

Plan the convergence of application lifecycle management between the current phone & tablet setup (pause non-focused apps) and the current desktop setup (never pause apps) for Unity 8 on on desktops and laptops.

While a snappy desktop offers many advantages to users and developers, there are going to be a number of older or 3rd apps that will not be converted into snap packages right away. We need a way to allow users to still use these applications, without giving up the convenience and security that snappy provides.

- better bug reporting, how to do it as a user - improve ability to view and report bugs from the phone - associate click app to the lp project

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

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

Open Q&A session where participants can ask about our convergence plans, how that affects the project as a whole and our users.

The webbrowser-app needs a set of features and layout changes to be optimized for desktop and converged use cases.

Discuss how to improve gsettings security for applications running within the same user context. For example, if application 'foo' is installed from extras, how can we: * allow it to have write access to only its settings? * prevent it from having read access for 'bar'? What other scenarios should be handled? Should this be integrated with AppArmor and if so, what would it look like?

This is a free-form catch-all kinds of session. Bring up whatever snappy-related topic you have, we'll talk about it here.

With https://developer.ubuntu.com/snappy we're off to a good start, but let's make the docs *real* good!

We are going to have the Ubuntu Core and snappy team here. Bring all your questions. Ask everything you might want to know!

Ubuntu Core and snappy are Ubuntu's brave new world. A lot of ideas are going to be hatched, unlikely teams put together, pioneers to be made and low-hanging fruit harvested. Let's get together and brainstorm - be open, be creative and let's note down ideas for:: 1) nice tutorials, 2) good demo material, 3) potential communities to reach out to, 4) low-hanging fruit in terms of connecting communities/tools/frameworks

In this session we'd like to discuss: 1) framework definition 2) framework packaging 3) schroot as single point of failure and alternatives

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)

Kubuntu discussion

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.

ifupdown is a frequent pain point for cloud integration, due to its lack of apis and its idiosyncratic configuration format. Examine what it would take to replace ifupdown with systemd-networkd for clouds, servers, and ubuntu core by 16.04, since it's reported to be at feature parity for server use cases (i.e. vlans/bridges/bonding, but not vpns/wifi).

The next Ubuntu LTS release (16.04 LTS) will use GCC 5 as the standard compiler (and likely GCC 6 as the standard for go). We do not want to change the default compiler during the six months leading to the LTS, so we will make the switch to GCC 5 for 15.10. Besides fixing the usual build failures (around 350), GCC 5 introduces an new libstdc++ ABI which makes it difficult to combine code built with the new and the old ABI. The ABI break is not in libstdc++ itself, but then in libraries using the libstdc++ ABI.

- Quick Show & Tell about systemd debugging/analyze tools - Summary about current status - Roadmap: Porting Ubuntu Touch, any other changes/improvements you want to bring up

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.

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

TokenTube (https://github.com/juergenpabel/tokentube) is an integration component for LUKS and PAM. It provides a subsystem for users to use their Linux login credentials for full-disk-encryption (during Pre-Boot-Authentication) instead of a separate encryption password/passphrase. I am the developer of TokenTube and it's almost feature complete (and quality assured). The only "real" task left is to create proper documentation, which I will create in the upcoming months (debian/ubuntu packages already exist). I would like to present TokenTube at this UOS in order to get awareness for this topic and ultimatively get it on the roadmap for upcoming releases.

dpkg_offline (https://launchpad.net/dpkg-offline/) is a tool to create a tarball containing all the .deb dependencies for a package for offline installation. It assumes the target system is a clean installation from a particular .iso and collects and packages all dependencies needed to install a given set of packages. The resulting bundle can be installed as a local apt repository in the target system and standard apt tools and semantics can be used to install the desired packages. It supports public and private PPAs and can bundle arbitrary local or remote .debs even if they're not fetched from a PPA or .deb archive.
