| Noskcaj | bluesabre, Are there any released gtk3 ports that i've missed? (other than notes, which is incomplete) | 09:21 |

| virtualsagacity | Hello! I've been an avid (X)ubuntu user for many years, and I'd like to dip my toes into the waters of contributing. How might I go about doing that? | 19:56 |
| Noskcaj | virtualsagacity, I suggest you have a look at http://xubuntu.org/contribute/ | 20:00 |
| virtualsagacity | In fact, that's how I found this IRC channel! :) | 20:01 |
| virtualsagacity | Is there any room for a novice coder on the Development team, or should I leave well enough alone on that? | 20:01 |
| Noskcaj | There's always room to help | 20:02 |
| Noskcaj | What coding language(s) do you know? | 20:02 |
| virtualsagacity | C++, primarily. Java, a little. | 20:02 |
| virtualsagacity | I don't know how much help I'd be (probably very little at first), but I'd really love to contribute in that way, even if it's down the road after I sharpen my "real world" skills. :) | 20:04 |
| Noskcaj | ok. There's a few xfce packages that are c++ that you could probably help with, just look for bugs at bugzilla.xfce.org or bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu | 20:04 |
| virtualsagacity | Awesome. That's probably "duh" advice to you, but it's exactly what I was looking for. Thank you very much! | 20:05 |
| andrzejr | virtualsagacity, I assume you like the xfce aspect of xubuntu - if so, the project could definitely use some man power. | 20:06 |
| Noskcaj | perhaps also join #xfce-dev | 20:06 |
| Noskcaj | The other xfce work is porting it to gtk3, which could definitely use extra manpower | 20:06 |
| virtualsagacity | That's exactly right, andrzejr. And I'm glad to hear that! | 20:06 |
| Noskcaj | On top of this, we're moving to gcc-5 this cycle, and a number of packages need patches to build properly with it. If you want to help with those, have a look at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?tag=ftbfs-gcc-5;users=debian-gcc@lists.debian.org | 20:07 |
| Noskcaj | That should about cover it | 20:07 |
| virtualsagacity | That is amazing. Thanks for all of this! I'm gonna go dig in. :) | 20:07 |
| Noskcaj | :) | 20:08 |
| Noskcaj | k bye then | 20:08 |
| bluesabre | Noskcaj: I think that's everything gtk3... though I am a bit out of the loop lately in that area | 21:27 |
| Noskcaj | ok. Should i put some of the git branches into the ppa? | 21:28 |
| bluesabre | sure, if they're up to date. A lot of the gtk3 branches are quite a bit behind trunk | 21:31 |
