Whiteboard

Notes/agenda:

 - review https://bugs.launchpad.net/developer-ubuntu-com?field.searchtext=snappy (skipped, nothing too interesting/important)
 - random stuff on daniel's/david's/others plate:
  - find a better way to integrate markdown docs from lp:snappy into developer.u.c/snappy
  - integrate blog posts about python and node snappification into tutorials
  - create a list of enabled devices
 - gadget snap doc
 - "the first 5 minutes"
 - a video(?)
 - great demos
 - set expectations for developers
 - application development

 - Documentation is manually maintained at this moment
 - Our goal is to have the documentation as part of the bzr/git branch and make sure that the docs are updated together with new code changes
 - We would need to find a way how to update the official documentation based on what is available at the bzr/git branches
  - Could be manual at the moment
  - Ideally be automatically consumed from the bzr/git repos
 - For blog posts and tutorials we could have people with write access to make it available as part of the official docs
 - Requested infos:
  - List of supported devices, how to add new devices and so on
  - Success stories for porting/building/using
 - how do folks contribute developer enablement
  - they upload gadget snap
  - we introduce a field that allows to refer to developer download location of unofficial kernels
  - we setup a page on developer.ubuntu.com or somewhere else that surfaces the available developer gadgets for web browsing
  - u-d-f grows feature to find and use gadgets
  - we setup a process to keep the gadgets in rolling sanitized
 - Application development:
  - Better description for apps and frameworks
  - Examples for simple applications with the most common languages and libraries (c, go, python, etc)
- Make a few more gadget snap
