16:45:47 packaging? 16:45:49 writing code? 16:45:51 triaging bugs? 16:45:53 well for me the roadblock was the lack of understanding of the various tools and the whole process used in distributed development 16:46:09 abhinav-: so you mean bzr 16:46:15 bzr and launchpad 16:46:16 m4n1sh_, for me I guys it is mainly getting started and finding a package with which I can start with easily 16:46:19 otherwise, almost everyone knows programming to contribute 16:46:42 viggy_prabhu: some more insight?

16:48:14 communication gap and poor cordination with partners and ego this 3 thinks may be the path of obstruction for the ubuntu development 16:48:37 Bipul`: ego like? 16:48:45 amongst? 16:49:02 m4n1sh_, I think it will be great if we can pick up some package which does not have its latest version in .deb format 16:49:07 Ego like Ego problem 16:49:18 m4n1sh_, tools are the first thing. also perhaps the libraries used in development, a tutorial introduction would provide a head start to the beginners 16:49:23 Bipul`: that I understand, but with whom and amongst whom? 16:49:25 and we can learn how to get the source code packaged to .deb 16:49:33 abhinav-: yeah. that is great 16:49:38 geekosopher: add to action what abhinav- says 16:49:43 m4n1sh_, I hope that is what is meant by application packaging 16:49:47 yeah 16:49:57 whos taking it m4n1sh_ 16:50:00 that needs to be taken up by either shadeslayer or coolbhavi 16:50:02 m4n1sh_, i have seen sometimes it happens with you partners 16:50:08 geekosopher: intro to libraries by me 16:50:25 Bipul`: yeah. there is an epic flamewar going on 16:50:26 #action m4n1sh_ to take intro session on libraries 16:50:26 * meetingology m4n1sh_ to take intro session on libraries 16:50:27 and Freinds when you come more closer 16:50:49 geekosopher: am not sure who can take packaging session 16:50:51 lets wait 16:51:00 yes, will have to 16:51:01 I can take up a session on git or bzr 16:51:17 * geekosopher will be the first attendee! :) 16:51:18 depends on interest 16:51:26 to them as when you go more closer to you freinds you both started more expectation 16:51:39 yeah true 16:51:46 anything else to add?
