A next edition of the Ubuntu Online Summit is happening this week: 3 days of free tutorials, presentations, discussions and demos all around Ubuntu, live. Join us for the start of the event with, - Ubuntu Online Summit Welcome and Introduction, by David Planella - Opening Keynote, by Mark Shuttleworth

Christian Dywan gets you bootstrapped with writing your first QML app on Ubuntu.

A roundtable session with an open agenda to discuss any community topics that might not be covered by the schedule

Leo and Frederico will cover both automated and manual approaches to testing snappy, and the work that goes into making sure each new version of snappy is ready to release. They will also offer advice on how you can help make snappy better!

The Ubuntu Free Culture Showcase was a way to showcase high-quality Creative Commons licensed work while also providing value for Ubuntu--sample audio and video for the live session and alternate wallpapers for the default install. Ubuntu 16.04 LTS will have pressed discs and we have an opportunity to showcase fresh content again. Help plan ways to invite the external Free Culture community to contribute to the Ubuntu Free Culture Showcase for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

A review of what testing exists and to make sure we are using all the resources we have to assure that 16.04 LTS is a rock solid release which is useable throughout the development cycle

Frameworks extend the functionality of Snappy Ubuntu Core systems in a vary practical way. Let's discuss how we can bring more services to Snappy Ubuntu Core.

Showing off some of the new Unity8 convergence features.

We'll discuss the openstack installer project, a terminal UI for deploying openstack services using Juju and MAAS. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OpenStack/Installer We will discuss deploying an entire cloud on one system using containers, then demo service placement onto MAAS machines via the UI, and cover how community members can contribute to the project.

The weekly Ubuntu Community Team Q&A, this time as part of UOS

Snapcraft integrates building and packaging software and is what we recommend to bring software to Snappy Ubuntu Core. Snapcraft has recently seen the addition of a catkin plugin. This will make it very easy to bring ROS applications to Snappy Ubuntu Core. Check out this demo by Sergio and Ted and you'll see just how easy it is.

What to fix and how? How can we improve our developer documentation?

Show off some of the new feature of MAAS 1.9. Features that will be shown are custom network configuration, custom storage configuration, setting the minimum HWE kernel, deploying with a HWE kernel, and deploying MAAS at scale.

Development Plans for the upcoming Kubuntu Release.

In this session we’ll show a prototype of a tool to install GUI apps packaged as snaps on the current phone and desktop images, and we’ll discuss what steps are needed to fully transition phone and desktop applications to snaps.

Network partitions happen, your distributed system needs to be designed to handle them. One of the reasons they're often not tested is the difficulty in setting up failure scenarios. I'd like to show jupsen (https://github.com/mattyw/jupsen). Jupsen is a juju plugin that allows you to model network partitions in a simple way, so you can easily test how your app handles them. I will start by giving a brief tour of the commands available. I will then show an app writing to a mongodb replica set during a network partition. I will create a partition that causes lost writes, and demonstrate how you can guard against them.
