[17:00] <dmj726> hello
[17:03] <dmj726> are we ready to begin :)
[17:04] <highvoltage> anyone on IRC?
[17:04] <dmj726> yep, I can hear you!
[17:05] <dscassel> highvoltage: Yup. :)
[17:05] <dpm> notes at http://summit.ubuntu.com/uds-q/meeting/20546/community-p-appdevelopers-external-outreach
[17:07] <dmj726> I have published one thing through the app portal.
[17:09] <dmj726> What about finding ways to spotlight successful apps that are already in the app store?
[17:09] <dmj726> Showing apps doing well on Ubuntu would likely attract developers developing elsewhere
[17:10] <mhall119> dmj726: we have another session about ways to promote the success of apps
[17:10] <dscassel> We need success stories.
[17:10] <dmj726> mhall119: which session is that?
[17:11] <dmj726> I just figured that that would help get people to jump on the bandwagon
[17:12] <mhall119> dmj726: http://summit.ubuntu.com/uds-q/meeting/20417/community-q-app-promotion/ and http://summit.ubuntu.com/uds-q/meeting/20415/community-q-upstream-evangelism/
[17:14] <dmj726> mhall119: cool, will be interested in those from this: https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/zhackers-volume1-usc/
[17:16] <dmj726> Getting onto Ubuntu isn't that hard
[17:16] <dmj726> either from linux or windows
[17:16] <dmj726> we need new apps
[17:17] <dmj726> it's not a big problem having an app available from a ppa or third party repo
[17:17] <dmj726> the big problem is apps that aren't available at all
[17:17] <dscassel> Convincing Unity3D (the game platform) to port to Ubuntu would help tonnes.
[17:18] <dscassel> (although that might confuse people. :)
[17:19] <dscassel> In my exprience, there are plenty of developers (mostly web devs) who are running Ubuntu.
[17:19] <dscassel> They're not writing apps, though.
[17:20] <dmj726> dscassel: really?
[17:20] <dscassel> dmj726: Yeah. Locally, in dev groups, it's the second platform after mac. Windows is 3rd.
[17:20] <dmj726> dscassel: Given recent trends in Ubuntu app development, it sounds like they could be an easy sell on native apps using webkit-gtk and userwebkit
[17:21] <dmj726> Novacut is a good example for how to do this
[17:21] <dscassel> dmj726: Yeah! That's what I want to hear. I want to know enough to know how to pitch that to them.
[17:22] <dmj726> dscassel: Talk to jderose (Jason DeRose) and especially JamesMR (James Raymond)
[17:22] <dscassel> I have a side project I don't have enough time for where I want to put send a little game on developer.ubuntu.com so I can show people how it's done.
[17:22] <dscassel> dmj726: Will do. Thanks. :)
[17:24] <dmj726> We need a good success stories businesswise
[17:24] <dmj726> need good advertising story
[17:25] <dmj726> Humble indie bundle (generally 25% of their money)
[17:25] <dmj726> adam savage likes linux
[17:25] <dmj726> ^^ mythbuster
[17:36] <dmj726> Making it easy to get new releases of software into released versions of ubuntu is a big issue
[17:37] <dmj726> so you shouldn't need an alpha version of ubuntu for GIMP 2.8
