Ubuntu Development Advocacy
One piece of feedback we get from events like conferences regularly is: "I didn't know it's that easy to get involved with Ubuntu development." and "I wish I had seen this presentation much earlier."
In this session we want to figure out how we can best reach out to new Ubuntu Developers.
We believe that the most powerful experience to get new contributors involved is showing how to fix a bug themselves. Seeing how somebody actually goes about solving an issue for millions of users, or being guided through the process and doing it yourself makes this the most lively experience.
During the cycle we want to create presentation material and a screencast that shows how to best do this. We will also reach out to LoCos and developers, so they can go out there and give new contributors the first-hand experience of making Ubuntu better.
