Ubuntu Wiki

Describe ForumAmbassadorsDiscussion/Notes here.

TODO

• contact exisiting developers in subforums. make sure they are connected to the rest of the developers. Possible candidates for FA team ?
• We need an improved step-wise ideas/spec process sticky.
• Henrik's idea : spec tutorial. maybe something for Ubuntu Open Week. Jono likes it.

brainstorming about possible new subsections

• We have to find topics & areas where developers will value input.

• update-testing on forums -> talk with Micheal Vogt about it. Probably best to do this inside dev-link. Micheal likes it.

• bug triage subforum -> possibly speak to Daniel Holbach about idea

  • ubuntu_demon : IMHO first try dev-link and "how to become involved.." subsections
• dev link / developer link specific announcement subforum where developers can ask for specific testing/feedback.
  • Possible do a lightning talk to see whether developers are interested in this. Devs don't have to browse through the forums they just start a single thread requesting feedback on a particular package.
  • only developers can start threads
    • - moderated
  • stickies in development forum VS nice clean specific development subforum
• "How to become involved in the rest of the community" specific subsection. With howto stickies like :

• Concise and simple HowTos Needed (checklist / step plan) :

  • How to create a Launchpad account.
  • Guided tour of Ubuntu Community Resorces. (Wiki, IRC, etc...)
  • How to search Launchpad.

  • How to file a good bug report. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs

  • How to write+file a spec+what happens after. (just posting in the forum isn't acceptable. discussion thread is fine but needs a spec. link to discussion thread in spec.)
  • How to create a wiki account.
  • How to become an Ubuntero.
  • How to join bugsquad
  • How to work with the bugsquad
  • Brian Murray volunteers to help write a few howto's
