Canonical’s Launchpad developers have announced they are trialling a new bug status “Opinion” which joins the “Won’t Fix” and “Invalid” indicators that developers can use to signal they have moved on to other issues and effectively closed a bug. The difference with “Opinion” is that it can be used to indicate the developers would like [...] Jono Bacon (Ubuntu Community Manager) announced on his blog:- Some time back we made Launchpad available as Open Source, and we have gone on to see a wonderful and thriving Launchpad development community flourish there. One component in particular that was not made available as Open Source, was the Canonical Identity Provider which is used [...] I was all chuffed with myself for participating in the Ubuntu process through commenting on bugs in Launchpad. Then the e-mail started to annoy me. I unsubscribed to the bugs. The mail kept coming. It seems you don’t have to actually be subscribed to a bug in Launchpad in order to be bombarded with mail. [...] It’s my pleasure to introduce to you the single greatest Launchpad planning achievement for 2010: the roadmap. For the last few months we’ve been working on bridging the gap between the Ubuntu distribution and the upstreams that it’s made from: making it easier for patches, translations, and bug reports to flow between Ubuntu users, Ubuntu [...] I’ve revamped our guides to translating your project in Launchpad, with help from Jeroen and Danilo. You can find them here: https://help.launchpad.net/Translations/YourProject Let me know if you think there’s anything missing or that could be better explained. On the 28th September, the Canonical Launchpad team leads will be in London, along with myself, community guy Karl Fogel and UI guy Martin Albisetti. I’m organising a Launchpad community meet-up for the evening of the 28th, which will be a chance to meet other Launchpad types, including several of Canonical’s Launchpad engineers. We’re considering [...] Launchpad, a Web application developed by Canonical for managing software development, was finally open-sourced last week. But with a number of its other products remaining proprietary, what are Canonical’s real intentions towards living by the free-software ideology that drives projects like Ubuntu? Canonical faced criticism early-on for releasing the Launchpad platform under a closed-source license. [...] I’m very happy to announce that today we open-sourced Launchpad. This is the fulfilment of a commitment made a year ago, as well as an experiment in involving the community in the development of a hosted service. Launchpad has long provided the Ubuntu operating system with an edge up on the competition, giving Ubuntu developers [...] Canonical developer Karl Fogel has announced that the open sourcing of Launchpad has been delayed. Originally, Launchpad, the software and site that drives Canonical open source and project collaboration, was to go open source on the 21st of July. Canonical now say this will be at some time in “July / August 2009″. According to [...] Unlike proprietary platforms, Ubuntu allows end users to interact directly with developers through Launchpad’s bug-reporting system. In some cases, this approach allows bugs to be discovered and resolved quickly. In most situations, however, open bug tracking is a fiasco that Ubuntu would be better off without. Here’s why. Open bug reporting policies, which allow anyone [...] |
