[16:53] <spwelton> hi all, got a quick question about writing code for ubuntu...
[16:53] <mhall119|work> what's the question?
[16:54] <spwelton> If I wanted to develop an app for some arbitrary function, what do I need to do for it to be available in the repo?
[16:54] <mhall119|work> ah, that's a packaging question
[16:55] <mhall119|work> you'll need to make a debian package that conforms to the repo guidelines, then get someone to sponsor it for inclusion
[16:55] <spwelton> because I was thinking of writing some kind of program for qr-codes or something.. Would be a good learning experience, for sure
[16:56] <spwelton> ok, so I need to read up on that part first.
[16:56] <mhall119|work> write the app first
[16:56] <spwelton> well of course ;) even if I never publish it, I'd like to have the functionality
[16:56] <mhall119|work> then worry about packaging
[16:56] <spwelton> was just making sure it was possible before I put too much time into it ;)
[16:57] <mhall119|work> when you're ready to package, you can find a MOTU (Master of the Universe) to help you package it and sponsor it
[16:57] <spwelton> ok sounds cool. I would assume they hang out in the motu room?
[16:57] <mhall119|work> you can get most any open-source application into Universe
[16:58] <spwelton> cool, thanks!!
[16:59] <mhall119|work> no problem
[17:00] <mhall119|work> spwelton: ask in #ubuntu-motu for more information
[17:01] <spwelton> will do! we'll see how writing the code goes first, though. It'll probably be a while before I'm ready to submit anything
[17:01] <mhall119|work> will it be GUI
[17:01] <mhall119|work> ?
[17:03] <spwelton> yeah, if I go with the QR-code idea. I'm still brainstorming what I want to write of course, I just know I'd like to learn more about the process and contribute something
[17:03] <spwelton> there's currently a couple open source command line tools for qrcodes, I'd just like to maybe bring them all together
[17:06] <mhall119|work> check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Quickly then
[17:07] <spwelton> cool, will bookmark that for use later tonight when I get some more free time
