Developer Outreach Resources
We need good material with which we can reach out to new developers. We might need to trim down the necessary information to get a good understanding of how development is done, pick powerful examples that show how easily millions of users can benefit from your work, think about producing presentation material and videos. Maybe translate these resources. Put together a list of hot topics that need to be covered. At least we need a high-level overview for less technical audience, technical demo for more technical audience.
We want to focus on creating content that gives interested contributors in a broad sense a good overview of how Ubuntu Development works. It's important that all key players and moving parts are mentioned and explained how they fit together. More complicated aspects we will explain visually.
This documentation will live at ubuntu.
