Ubuntu Wiki

If you want to participate in a snappy jam, the organisation of the event is very much like all other jams.

Introduction

With snappy we are going to bring Ubuntu to the world of devices along with the best of apps out there. Stability, security, upgrades being taken care of for you.

If this sounds interesting to you and you want to make great stuff happening with Ubuntu, ćheck out these pages first:

• General: http://www.ubuntu.com/things

• For developers: https://developer.ubuntu.com/snappy/

Ideas for involvement

• Follow the Snappy guides: if you don't have a device, use KVM.

• Port snappy to your device

  • more thoughts and ideas on Ogra's blog: https://ograblog.wordpress.com/2015/01/25/porting-ubuntu-snappy-to-a-yet-unsupported-armhf-board/

  • Maarten Ectors is looking for folks to collaborate with on Mapling Robotic ARM

• Put together some snappy apps:
  • Maybe put together a script to convert apps like node.js or pypi or ... into snappy apps
    • with upstream communities to make it natural to publish apps built using their existing packaging frameworks
    • runtime and build environment
  • Apps which would be great to have snappified:

    • media goblin

    • node.js apps

    • ghost blogging (node.js)

    • explore c9.io based node.js sdk

    • pastebin in all languages
    • finish etherpad-lite and go next steps (wrt. explore extensions etc.)

      • https://github.com/asac/etherpad-lite

      • http://snappy.asac.ws:9001/p/README

      • TODO items
        • investigate if and how extension modules could maybe be installed without having to repackage the pad
        • make armhf port
        • make it 'multi arch'

    • owncloud (without docker)

    • wordpress

    • mediatomb

• Testing:

  • Extend self tests on lp:snappy/selftest

  • Explore upgrade testing with kvm and cloud

• Look at our partners listed on http://ubuntu.com/things/ and if you are interested in one of the topics they are working on we might be able to facilitate to set up a work relationship and identify starter tasks that would help them to ramp up in the snappy ecosystem
