Kubuntu Tutorials Day

On Thursday, December 13th, the Kubuntu developers are holding their first ever “Tutorials Day.” The Tutorials Day will contain talks, tutorials, and a Q&A session about the development of Kubuntu.

With KDE4 only a month away, now is the time to get involved in becoming a Kubuntu developer. We’ve set up these IRC sessions below to get you started.

The sessions begin at 15:00 UTC on IRC (#kubuntu-devel on Freenode) and will consist of six different topics:

  • 15:00: Packaging 101
  • 16:00: Kubuntu Bug Triage
  • 16:30: Branch your svn with bzr
  • 17:00: Get programming with PyKDE4
  • 18:00: Get your work into Kubuntu
  • 19:00: Kubuntu and KDE Q&A

For a full run-down of the entire session, head on over to Jonathan Riddell’s blog and read his post, “Kubuntu Tutorials Day.”
