My report after the BOF on distributed bugtrackers at DebConf

Here are my notes about the very insteresting BOF on distributed bugtrackers held at DebConf

Great talk “Distributed bug tracking for Debian with SD” at DebConf

This is a quick report and notes about the great presentation made at DebConf on “Distributed bug tracking for Debian with SD” by Christine Spang (http://penta.debconf.org/dc10_schedule/events/591.en.html)

Hopefully, the slides are gonna be published soon, but in the meantime, you have them in the video recording (see link above) – EDIT: she has published here slides : see her blog post.

She draws 2 main use cases in her speech, which is exactly the kind of features we’ve been thinking about for fetchbugs4.me :

Vidéos de certaines confs du thème Développement des RMLL 2009

Free Electrons vient de mettre en ligne des vidéos des conférences qu’ils ont filmées aux RMLL 2009.
Une partie des vidéos porte sur le thème “Développement” que j’ai coordonné.

Voici la liste des interventions filmées :

  • Migration à Git du projet GNOME, par Frédéric Peters (GNOME)
  • Méthodes de vote : comment consulter les développeurs d’un projet sans fausser le résultat avant de poser la question, par Lucas Nussbaum (Debian)
  • Développement Open Source : un retour des tranchées, le projet Jajuk, par Bertrand Florat (Jajuk)
  • Comment les outils et l’esprit Open Source permettent de faire de meilleurs projets, par Erlé Le Gac, Bertrand Florat (Capgemini)

Le son n’est pas toujours top, mais c’est fait avec les moyens du bord, bénévolement 😉

Vous trouverez les pointeurs vers les vidéos et les slides chez Free Electrons (en bas de liste).

Et n’oubliez pas : l’édition 2010 remet ça, avec un appel à contributions toujours ouvert.

New inter-forges discussion list on planetforge.org

You work on developing a software forge, you’re an admin for a software forge, or a project administrator.

Join us and discuss (in english) forge matters on discussions@planetforge.org, to try and improve communication, sharing, reuse and interoperability among various hosting platforms, and collaborative development tools.

You may prefer joining the PlanetForge RSS aggregator if you blog about forges (feel free to add it to your preferred RSS reader).
