SDK Roadmap for Convergence

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

Let's talk about all the changes that have been happening with the CI and QA processes around the core apps. -- new jenkins -- thoughts on test writing -- manual testing -- running automated tests

Taking advantage of Ubuntu Online Accounts in your application General OA architecture OA v2 API, what's new ? OA for QML App Developers OA for HTML5 developers Advanced - Writing a new OA plugin

Writing Webapps & HTML5 apps with Ubuntu Using webapp-container for packaging online webapps Writing an HTML5 app for Ubuntu Using Cordova for writing or porting an existing app W3C & support Ubuntu APIs

High level introduction to Scopes: UX concepts and goals, main UI components, architecture overview, starting points for developers, overview of recently added features. I'll present some slides illustrating all the above and there will be time for Q&A.

What's new in scopes? A look at new features and API changes for 16.04.

An overview of upcoming support of in-app purchases using QtPurchasing, QML, and the Ubuntu Store. This will allow apps in the store to offer purchasable in-app content and virtual items, providing another revenue option to our community of developers.

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

In this session we'll show you how to deploy Kubernetes and use other container technologies with Juju

"Our cloud is 50% faster and 50% cheaper than our competitors!" In this session we'll show you how to use Juju and Ubuntu to run your own cloud benchmarks with your own workloads. You don't need to trust synthetic single-node benchmarks, you need real data with what YOU use so you can make the best choice. And we'll show you how to run it on your bare metal servers too to see how you stack up against the big clouds when it comes to performance.

This workshop will be a "start from scratch" session where we will start from nothing and get a deployable service out into the cloud. If you write software that people use on servers, then this session is for you!

This discussion is an open-ended Q+A with the Juju charms team, we'll also do a roundtable of what's happening in the world of Juju and charms.

This workshop is for beginners who want to learn how to get started working with Juju, the service orchestration tool for managing large complex systems with simple reusable components.

The big data world is full of hundreds of pieces of technology, how do you even get started? Luckily we've built a bunch of preconfigured bundles of big data stacks to get you started. This session will show you how to get started with the big data workloads available in Juju, how to customize them for your exact needs, and how to share components with others.

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.

Developer Stéphane Graber demos LXD and discusses latest news, features, and plans around the LXD project.  

Status, planning, discussion around MySQL & Variants for Debian/Ubuntu.

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.

We would like to showcase what new features in Wily Werewolf on the next episode of Kubuntu Podcast #6

Bonjour ! 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 !

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.

Recently the QA team in Canonical have been full steam ahead on developing a suite of automated user level regression tests for Ubuntu Phone. This session will highlight some of the challenges we've faced and the tools we had to use to achieve our goals. We'll also let you know how you could get involved!

The weekly UbuCon Summit organizer's meeting this week as a live hangout for UOS. Join us if you want to learn more and want to contribute making the UbuCon Summit @ SCALE in January 2016 happen!

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

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

Presentation and discussion about the next steps for the offering of meetup.com to Ubuntu LoCos and integration with the LoCo Portal

Planning the next UbuCon Summit in Europe with organizers and interested contributors

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

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

UOS has morphed and changed over the past couple years after UDS's went away. It's time to reflect on what UOS has become and think about how we'd like to meet and interact as a community in the future. We'll discuss UOS alternatives, as well as the rise and importance of Ubucons and the UbuSummit.

In late 2014, the Community Team had a long discussion about attracting new participants and growing them into Ubuntu Members. The main result was the Find-a-Task job-board tool. Is this still a problem? Did Find-a-Task work? Does anyone use it? How can it be improved?

A review of the actions we will be taking on the developer desktop (.deb/Unity 7) in the 16.04 cycle.

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

Development Plans for the upcoming Kubuntu Release.

Ubuntu Personal is going to be great, with its snappy packaging, transactional updates, application confinement, and Unity 8 running on Mir. But wait -- I have to use a specialized DEB-packaged application that uses X11 to get work done in my office/lab/classroom... do I need to switch away Ubuntu? They evolved. They rebelled. There are many copies. And they have a plan. It's called "Libertine." Let's discuss that plan.

This session will look at Contacts app and Browser app and review their approaches to responsive layout to support convergence.

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.

In this talk I'll give a brief introduction to Plasma Mobile, what it is, the current state and the direction. Hopefully with an extended Q&A session

The primary drivers behind Ubuntu's convergence strategy will talk about their roadmaps and goals, then take questions from IRC

A discussion about interests related to Qt and 16.04 LTS. Qt version will be either Qt 5.5 or Qt 5.6 depending on the schedule and suitability of 5.6. Qt 5.5(.1) has not yet been landed either, but there is a PPA. The session is mostly for Q&A and gathering information about what people are interested in. It's not expected to result in immediate action items since Qt 5.5.1 is already well planned and it's too early to plan 5.6 too much yet. Current status at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/QtTesting

Discuss the future and plans of/for ubports. And with an Q&A at the end.

Python 2.7 should not be shipped anymore by default. There is progress to make the desktop image Python 2.7 free, but a few packages remain. The situation for the other images should be evaluated as well. Python 3.5 will be the only Python3 version included in 16.04. Some work is still required to reach this goal.

node.js was updated to 4.0, having support on all our architectures. investigate how to get node.js and libv8 in sync, and how to maintain it for the timespan of an LTS release. The reason is that we are patching a lot of packages in main building some javascript enabled documentation to avoid build dependencies on universe packages.

With hardware becoming cheaper (ie Raspberry Pi, etc.) a number of apps and appliances were built, which are very popular today. It'd be great if it was easy for app developers to bring their apps to Snappy Ubuntu Core as well. Let's figure out how developers can port them over and we can get feedback about what should be easier.

In this session we want to figure out how the Snappy developer community can interact and get support, particularly: - support of askubuntu/stackoverflow - which G+ communities/Twitter/etc to use - which presentation and workshop materials we want to create and share - how we can support people who want to represent Snappy Ubuntu Core at events/hackathons/workshops

In this session we want your feedback on your Snappy and Snapcraft onboarding experience: - How were you welcomed into the world of Snappy? Was the documentation sufficient? Were you able to find your way around? - We are planning some changes to the documentation and would like to present them and get feedback. - If you are a device builder, we would specifically like to get your input as well, so we can improve our device builder documentation.

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.

Ubuntu should support updating firmware for systems and components; we should also further define the behavior for EFI fallbacks.

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.

With support for F2FS being stable enough with the latest Linux kernel, please consider including f2fs-tools on the 16.04 ISO and offering f2fs as a format and install option in Ubiquity. It may be wise for Canonical to offer broader support as this would be beneficial to the mobile platforms as well as those on the desktop with SSDs.

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.

This session will highlight some of the challenges we've faced and the tools we had to use to achieve our goals. We'll also let you know how you could get involved!

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.

The Ubuntu SDK team are here to demo what's new in the Ubuntu SDK, as well as field your questions and feedback.

For the past year Kubuntu has been developing its core KDE software packaging through a CI system to allow for quicker high quality releases of KDE software into both the Kubuntu PPAs and the Ubuntu development series. It uses existing and new technology to build some 460 sources using the actual production packaging on an almost daily basis and performing distribution level QA ranging from your ordinary lintian check to QML dependency verification.

Join Mike as he hacks on a game in progress, talks about frameworks and toolkits for gaming, and answers your question on developing for the phone.

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!

This workshop will take you through the creation of a scope in JavaScript, and show you how to integrate npm packages with it.

In this talk I'll give a brief introduction to Plasma Mobile, what it is, the current state and the direction. Hopefully with an extended Q&A session

Showing off some of the new Unity8 convergence features.

Ryan will share about Mycroft on the desktop and phone, show off a demo, give an explanation as to how it works and how developers can contribute.

The Ubuntu MATE team have developed some simple scripts to build Ubuntu MATE 15.04 and 15.10 for the Raspberry Pi 2. These scripts have now been generalised and are capable of building any traditional Ubuntu flavour (not Snappy), including Ubuntu server.
