[07:47] <manils> hi
[07:47] <dous> hi manils 
[07:48] <manils> i was curious about getting involved with coding for ubuntu
[07:48] <dous> that's nice. :)
[07:48] <manils> i code java, some C, and i'm ramping up with python and perl
[07:48] <manils> i was curious if anyone knew how to get started
[07:49] <dous> manils: are you interested in packaging?
[07:49] <dous> packaging/fixing bugs stuff like that?
[07:49] <manils> sure
[07:49] <manils> that's hype to me
[07:50] <dous> you probably need to read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU first
[07:51] <dous> doko has been hanging around here since this channel started, I guess
[07:51] <manils> word word
[07:52] <dous> but this channel should probably be where java-related things are coordinated
[07:52] <manils> cool
[07:52] <manils> i appreciate your help
[07:54] <dous> making java packages will require that you know some scripting too so not everything is in java :)
[07:54] <manils> that's cool
[07:54] <manils> i wrote a bash script for a friend to automate making users and groups in ldap
[07:55] <manils> that's about the extent of scripting i've gone though
[07:56] <manils> all in all i'm down for whatever
[07:57] <dous> the MOTUs (caretakers of Ubuntu Universe) hang out at #ubuntu-motu
[07:57] <dous> you might want to lurk there or ask questions about packaging
[07:58] <dous> the motujava team is basically just starting out so there isn't much organization yet
[07:59] <dous> but Zak Elep (zakame) created the motujava team on launchpad and we try to do what we can (when we have time)
[07:59] <manils> that's cool
[08:00] <manils> yeah time is a precious commodity
[01:20] <doko> dous: finding jni.h either use `gcj-4.1 --print-file-name=include/jni.h`, or use -I/usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj/include
[01:21] <doko> or better: gcj --print-file-name=include/jni.h
[02:47] <dous> heya zak
[02:48] <zakame> hello dous
