=== Introduction to Packaging - June 2009 ===

 * Date: Sunday, June 28th
   This is for Session #1. Later session dates and times will be determined at our first meeting.
 * Time: 2:00pm to 6:00pm
 * Location: [[ChicagoTeam/Meetings/MeetingLocations#onShore%20Networks|onShore Networks]]
 * Address: 1407 W Chicago Ave., Chicago, IL 60642

==== Event Goals ====

'''Introduction to Packaging'''

Many users on the team have expressed an interest in learning how to compile programs from source code, and then configure that software into a form that is suitable for inclusion in Ubuntu. Performing these tasks is commonly called "packaging" software.

While packaging-related skills can certainly be learned, they are much easier to learn in person, rather than via IRC. Our "Intro to Packaging Sessions," will cover a wide range of packaging-related concepts and tasks, but our initial session will be dedicated to:
   * Introducing current and new team members
   * Signing GPG keys (which are necessary to upload packages to the Ubuntu archives)
   * Discussing team member knowledge needs with regards to packaging so that proper goals can be set for our sessions
   * Reviewing fundamental packaging terminology and concepts
   * Planning additional 'Intro to Packaging' sessions

In a later session we will devote some time to looking over packages on [[MOTU/Packages/REVU|REVU]], which is the site where packaged software gets reviewed before entering the Ubuntu archives. Although only MOTUs can advocate/upload packages on REVU, everyone can help review them. Looking at items on the REVU site will be a great way to learn about different types of packaging mistakes, and how to fix them.


==== Additional Events ====

 * Bug Jam
  * Even though the [[GlobalBugJam| Global Bug Jam]] only comes twice each year, we can hold our own bug jams whenever we want.
 * [[KeySigningParty|Key Signing Party]]
  * People participating in the packaging jam will need to [[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GnuPrivacyGuardHowto|create a gpg key]]. Since we will be meeting in person, it will be a great opportunity to sign these keys.

 * Time:
   * Friday: 7:30pm to approximately 12:00.
   * Saturday: 10:00am to approximately 5:00pm. Please arrive between 10:00am and 12:00pm.

==== Event Goals ====

By particpating in the Ubuntu Global Bug Jam we're going to:
 * learn about Ubuntu resources and workflows for reporting, triaging and fixing bugs,
 * report, triage and fix a lot of bugs,
 * bring together members of the Chicago free-software community,
 * have fun.

The Level column indicate the difficulty of the bugs on the list for being Triaged, those are divided into three levels:
