jonoalright!16:32
jonowelcome everyone!16:32
jonotoday I am delighted to open up a really interesting Q+A session16:32
jonoLaunchpad has always been critical part of Ubuntu, and a wonderful place to build free software in general16:32
jonoyou can find it at http://www.launchpad.net16:33
jonoI personally feel Launchpad has been the hidden gem in the Ubuntu world, so I am delighted to open up a Q+A about Launchpad today16:33
jonothe man on the hot seat in the main man in charge of Launchpad, Francis Lacoste16:33
* flacoste waves16:33
jonoFrancis has a long history with Launchpad, and he is happy to answer all your questions!16:34
flacosteand is ready to answers all your questions16:34
flacoste:-)16:34
jonoremember, to ask a question, join #ubuntu-classroom-chat and preprend your question with QUESTION16:34
jonofor example:16:34
jonoQUESTION: Why did you Open Source Launchpad?16:34
jonoso, without further ago, get your questions in, and over to flacoste!16:34
jono:-)16:34
flacoste!q16:35
ClassBotVahe asked: How can I made a derived of a package? Empathy for example16:35
flacostei think the easiest way there16:36
flacostewould be to start from the Ubuntu source16:36
flacosteand make modifications and then upload to a PPA16:36
flacostes/a/your/ PPA16:37
flacostewhich will build the derived package for you and make it available for other users16:37
flacosteif you are comfortable with bzr, there are more complex workflows available where you work with a branch16:37
flacostei'd suggest you read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DistributedDevelopment if that interests you16:38
flacosteVahe: i hope this answers your question16:39
ClassBotKlau3 asked: Will Ubuntu participate the CERN Open Hardware initiative? http://goo.gl/F4cgJ goo.gl/ShlgT16:39
flacostethat's the first I heard of that initiative, so there are no current plans :-)16:40
flacosteI don't know how that relates to Launchpad itself16:40
flacostebut from a 5s look at it16:41
flacostei'd say that Launchpad features can probably be used by people working on Open Hardware to collaborate16:41
flacosteusing bugs, code and blueprints16:41
=== micahg_ is now known as micahg
flacostethere might be additional features required for HW-specific stuff16:42
flacosteanyway, i'm welcome to follow-up on this question16:42
ClassBotjonobacon asked: are we likely to see any improvements to Blueprints in the future?16:42
flacosteah! blueprints!16:43
flacostei'm happy to say yes actually16:43
flacostewell, like you probably saw, the blueprints page was AJAX-ified recently16:43
flacostesaving a few clicks when you want to edit stuff16:43
flacosteon our queue, we have a request to develop some team views for bugs and blueprints16:44
flacostethat will allow you to see all blueprints assigned to a particular team (across all projects)16:44
flacostein the grand scheme of things, our previous product manager was toying with the idea of merging bugs and blueprints16:45
flacosteby adding the missing blueprints features to bugs16:45
flacostebut there are no definitive plans there16:45
ClassBotchicken asked: Do you have a quick link to informational page with overview for those unfamilar.16:45
flacostechicken isn't here anymore, so I'm assuming that it was a request for more info on the derived package question16:46
flacostethe overview link for PPA would be https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging16:47
ClassBotGentoolx asked: About building on Launchpad. Is there possibility to use different source of packages than Ubuntu archive (I mean some PPA). This would allow to use modular source branches for my project.16:47
flacostenot sure if I understand the questions correctly...16:48
flacosteso Launchpad only builds package in .deb format16:48
flacostewe don't build gentoo or rpm source package16:48
flacostebut the source package doesn't have to be in Ubuntu16:48
flacostea lot of PPA builds packages for software that isn't available yet in Ubuntu16:49
flacosteit's often a way to package new applications16:49
flacosteGentoolx: let me know if i misunderstood the question16:49
ClassBotjonobacon asked: Do you think there will be any work item tracking tools build into Launchpad? storing work items on whiteboards seems sub-optimal at the moment16:50
flacostethis an often requested item!16:50
flacosteand we do see it as part of the project scope16:50
flacostebut it's not on the schedule yet16:51
flacostebut again the schedule is pretty short16:51
flacosteand it could get on it, if that's the highest priority for the Ubuntu community16:51
flacostejust talk to bryceh who is the Ubuntu community Launchpad stakeholder representative16:52
flacosteno more questions?16:52
ClassBotmhall119 asked: How about an integrated wiki for launchpad?16:53
flacostethat's among the 3 top-requested features for Launchpad!16:53
=== Alex__ is now known as Alexro
flacostei can't remember if it was #1 or #216:53
flacosteanyway, the two others are "better performance" and "git support"16:53
flacostewe do want wiki in Launchpad16:54
flacostethere is even a community -sponsored project to get it16:54
flacostethat started recently16:54
flacostehttps://dev.launchpad.net/LEP/Wiki16:54
flacosteif you want to help out!16:54
ClassBotmhall119 asked: can you give a link to the community project? I'm interested16:54
flacostethat would be the above LEP which lists the requirements around the project16:55
flacosteif you are interested i suggest you subsribe to the development mailing list16:56
flacosteand contact xaav16:57
flacostewe have time for one more question!16:57
ClassBotGentoolx asked: According to my previous one: I meant depending on packages from Ubuntu archive (as build-deps) and asked if it is possible to depend on packages from other source (again, as build-deps).16:59
flacosteah, yes!16:59
flacostei think it's possible16:59
flacostevisit your PPA details page16:59
flacosteand you should be able to set the build-deps there17:00
flacosteactually17:00
flacostethe link is called 'Edit PPA dependencies'17:00
flacosteand you can access it from the PPA page17:01
flacosteok, i thought this session was 30 minutes and I have another appointement17:02
flacosteso I'll end this here, sorry, if I didn't get to answer your question17:02
flacostebut you are always welcome to ask me directly on IRC (flacoste)17:02
flacosteor email the launchpad-users mailing list17:02
flacostewe are a friendly bunch17:02
flacostethanks!17:03
