Ubuntu Online Summit: Session Roundup

[Daniel Holbach]

Hello everybody,

with Ubuntu Online Summit happening 3-5 November, it is really just
around the corner. Time to check out the schedule and see what's planned.

UOS is our online planning and show-and-tell event. We use a mix of
Hangouts-on-Air, IRC and Etherpad to organise ourselves and it's a great
opportunity to get to know people, have your say and find out what's
planned.

Register for the event at

	http://summit.ubuntu.com/

This is also where you find the schedule for all the individual tracks
and if you click on the sessions themselves, you can register your
attendance as well, that will make it easy for you to see "your
schedule" on the site and help you plan your days.

Here is a quick roundup of the sessions coming straight from the world
of Snappy Ubuntu Core:

2015-11-03 15:00 UTC Testing Snappy
	http://summit.ubuntu.com/uos-1511/meeting/22623/testing-snappy/
	Leo and Frederico will cover both automated and manual
	approaches to testing snappy, and the work that goes into
	making sure each new version of snappy is ready to release.
	They will also offer advice on how you can help make snappy
	better!

2015-11-03 16:00 UTC Creating more Snappy frameworks
	http://summit.ubuntu.com/uos-1511/meeting/22596/core-1511-new-snappy-frameworks/
	Frameworks extend the functionality of Snappy Ubuntu Core
	systems in a vary practical way. Let's discuss how we can bring
	more services to Snappy Ubuntu Core.

2015-11-03 18:00 UTC Snappy Clinic: bringing ROS apps to Snappy
                     Ubuntu Core
	http://summit.ubuntu.com/uos-1511/meeting/22594/snappy-clinic-bringing-ros-apps-to-snappy-ubuntu-core/
	Snapcraft integrates building and packaging software and is
	what we recommend to bring software to Snappy Ubuntu Core.
	Snapcraft has recently seen the addition of a catkin plugin.
	This will make it very easy to bring ROS applications to Snappy
	Ubuntu Core. Check out this demo by Sergio and Ted and you'll
	see just how easy it is.

2015-11-05 14:00 UTC Your feedback counts: the Snappy onboarding
                     experience
	http://summit.ubuntu.com/uos-1511/meeting/22593/core-1511-snappy-onboarding-feedback/
	In this session we want your feedback on your Snappy and
	Snapcraft onboarding experience:
	 - How were you welcomed into the world of Snappy? Was the
	   documentation sufficient? Were you able to find your way
	   around?
	 - We are planning some changes to the documentation and would
	   like to present them and get feedback.
	 - If you are a device builder, we would specifically like to
	   get your input as well, so we can improve our device builder
	   documentation.

2015-11-05 15:00 UTC Snappy Developer Community Resources
	http://summit.ubuntu.com/uos-1511/meeting/22592/core-1511-snappy-developer-community-resources/
	In this session we want to figure out how the Snappy developer
	community can interact and get support, particularly:
	 - support of askubuntu/stackoverflow
	 - which G+ communities/Twitter/etc to use
	 - which presentation and workshop materials we want to create
	   and share
	 - how we can support people who want to represent Snappy
	   Ubuntu Core at events/hackathons/workshops

2015-11-05 16:00 UTC Porting popular apps/software to Snappy
	http://summit.ubuntu.com/uos-1511/meeting/22591/core-1511-porting-raspberry-pi-apps-to-snappy/
	With hardware becoming cheaper (ie Raspberry Pi, etc.) a number
	of apps and appliances were built, which are very popular
	today. It'd be great if it was easy for app developers to bring
	their apps to Snappy Ubuntu Core as well. Let's figure out how
	developers can port them over and we can get feedback about
	what should be easier.

Please note: there might be last-minute changes to the schedule, so make
sure stay up to date. If you have any questions, let me know.

Have a great weekend,
 Daniel
