Ubuntu Stuff
My contributions
Kubuntu webmaster.
Bug reports & triaging: assigned, subscribed
- Answer questions here and there on the forums as well as in #kubuntu / #ubuntu
Answer support requests
Organised the IdeaPool (It's now in alphabetical order, to my great awe).1
Helped found the Ubuntu Classroom along with hybrid. -> Classroom
Designed Kubuntu Edgy's RC Release Image.
- Spread the word about Kubuntu and Linux in general through out my school and family, installed Kubuntu for those who wanted to try it out, and check in every now and then to see if they were having any trouble.
- Ran the NUN meeting in #ubuntu-meeting on January 7th 2007
- Wrote a HOWTO on getting GPG to work with KMail
ScottK got GPG and KMail working OOtB, thus, that crosses out my goal, thanks Scott
- Packaging/merging/syncing, see tables below (As you can tell, I'm working towards MOTU)
Current work
- Kubuntu Webmaster
- Merges
- Revive Classroom
- Set up a "Master School" where people can look to for all upcoming classes... where motu-school, Classroom, etc could get together and have weekly or biweekly lessons. Have classes on how to write documentation, how to properly report and triage bugs, etc. for the advanced and the beginner.
- Keep all this balanced with my school work.
The Future
- Continue to spread the word about Kubuntu
- Become more proficient with Inkscape / GIMP so that I can help out with some artwork
- Become more proficient in packaging
- Get proficient enough in python to do a bit of programming for Kubuntu (System Settings maybe?)
- Look into writing some more documentation (See if it's something that I find interesting)
Bettering Kubuntu and Ubuntu
We could improve kubuntu bug triaging by having ubugtu paste new kubuntu bugs in #kubuntu-devel, #kubuntu-testing, or #kubuntu-bugs. That way people would see kubuntu bugs as they come in, instead of having to search for them on launchpad. It might help to re-add http://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-team/+packagebugs to the topic in #kubuntu-devel. It would also be an interesting idea to have a Kubuntu-QA team, that takes care of triaging kubuntu bugs, and bugs in KDE apps. They would have the same permissions on LP as Ubuntu-QA. I would love a glossy, polished kubuntu with as little bugs as possible, so that we might fix Ubuntu bug #1.
