[19:34] <jacqolive> HI
[19:35] <jacqolive> Does anyone know how to get involved with developing for Ubuntu in java?
[19:57] <mhall119|work> jacqolive: probably bug triaging is a good place to start
[19:57] <mhall119|work> then bug fixing or packaging
[19:57] <mhall119|work> I know there's a java packaging push going on
[20:33] <jacqolive> mhall119|work: thanks, would launchpad be the place to get involved in this or is there some other place that i can have a look at?
[20:42] <maxb> What exactly do you want to get involved in?
[20:42] <maxb> Writing new things in Java for Ubuntu? Packaging more Java software for Ubuntu? Improving the packaging of Java software already in Ubuntu?
[20:43] <maxb> Launchpad is likely to figure heavily in doing *anything* Ubuntu related, but it's more a tool, than a place to communicate
[20:44] <maxb> jacqolive: ^
[20:46] <jacqolive> maxb: i would like to develop new things in java for ubuntu
[20:51] <maxb> I'm not very familiar with the "new features" process, but I think early discussion of the things you want to create, such that you work out a rough specification, is important, and you'll want to have a look at the launchpad blueprints system. The ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing lists or #ubuntu-devel IRC channel seem like good places to air an initial idea and solicit pointers about where best to discuss it further
