[17:46] <nhaines> 119 days until oneiric.
[18:28] <yantrashilpi> nhaines, am going to try to get atleast some code into that :). have no idea what I'd work on though.
[18:28] <yantrashilpi> then I can go around saying... I helped code that :)
[18:41] <nhaines> yantrashilpi: check out the bitesized bugs on launchpad.  :)
[18:42] <yantrashilpi> doing it right now.
[18:48] <nhaines> yantrashilpi: what languages do you program in?
[18:50] <yantrashilpi> c, c# are preferred
[18:51] <yantrashilpi> nhaines, but i'm leaning towards python now and would really love to do a proper project in c++
[18:51] <yantrashilpi> but maybe that's not even necessary.
[18:51] <yantrashilpi> I would really like to do more projects based on modeling methodologies... seems like there is a real lack of tools for that sort of thing on linux.
[18:52] <broder> hmm...doesn't look like there are many bitesize bugs against python packages at the moment
[18:52] <broder> system-config-printer is python
[18:52] <broder> tomboy is c#
[18:53] <broder> unity and firefox are c++
[18:53] <broder> everything else is c, i think
[18:53] <akk> Anything in KDE or using Qt is C++
[18:53] <broder> err, that's just looking at the ubuntu-desktop packages, sorry
[18:59] <yantrashilpi> broder, ahh that's useful information
[18:59] <yantrashilpi> i'm just going through the bitesize bugs without any particular focus. If there is something that feels like I can do
[18:59] <yantrashilpi> I'll just jump in. Doesn't matter what language.
[18:59] <broder> sounds like an excellent plan
[19:00] <yantrashilpi> different languages will get me out of my comfort zone.
[19:00] <yantrashilpi> broder, can I hit you up for some advice along the way?
[19:00] <broder> yantrashilpi: yeah, sure
[19:00] <broder> though for many things i'll likely just point you at other people/places/channels
[19:01] <yantrashilpi> that's exactly what I'd want.
[19:02] <yantrashilpi> granted direct help is great, but sometimes learning by doing is better
[19:13] <yantrashilpi> broder, I wanted to work on some bugs in unity. thoughts?
[19:14] <broder> yantrashilpi: let's see..unity is all c++. i think #ayatana is probably the best place to ask for help
[19:14] <broder> a lot (but not all) of the unity devs are europeans, so you may be starting to hit the end of their work day soon
[19:14] <yantrashilpi> oh that's fine, I have a lot of homework to do anyway.
[19:15] <pleia2> http://ubuntu-news.org/2011/06/14/unity-contributor-report-for-14-june/ is probably also worth a read
[19:15] <yantrashilpi> do you work on any
[19:15] <yantrashilpi> ahh thanks pleia2
[19:16] <pleia2> (the bottom of the article has lots of good "getting involved" goodies)
[19:16] <broder> oh yeah, jcastro does a lot of unity developer recruitment stuff, and he's american at least
[19:16] <pleia2> even if it is michigan
[19:16] <pleia2> :)
[19:18] <yantrashilpi> haha, michigan works.
[19:19] <yantrashilpi> i like how unity sort of pre-empted MS's START screen.
[19:19] <yantrashilpi> seems like a similar idea.
[19:22] <nhaines> xyzzy
[19:23] <nhaines> Nothing happens.
[21:43] <jyo> pleia2: Thanks for the e-mail. :)
[21:44] <pleia2> jyo: sure :)
