[09:21] <Noskcaj> bluesabre, Are there any released gtk3 ports that i've missed? (other than notes, which is incomplete)
[19:56] <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?
[20:00] <Noskcaj> virtualsagacity, I suggest you have a look at http://xubuntu.org/contribute/
[20:01] <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?
[20:02] <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.
[20:04] <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
[20:05] <virtualsagacity> Awesome. That's probably "duh" advice to you, but it's exactly what I was looking for. Thank you very much!
[20:06] <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!
[20:07] <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. :)
[20:08] <Noskcaj> :)
[20:08] <Noskcaj> k bye then
[21:27] <bluesabre> Noskcaj: I think that's everything gtk3... though I am a bit out of the loop lately in that area
[21:28] <Noskcaj> ok. Should i put some of the git branches into the ppa?
[21:31] <bluesabre> sure, if they're up to date.  A lot of the gtk3 branches are quite a bit behind trunk
