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!

Showing off some of the new Unity8 convergence features.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
