DevJam Reports
The GNU Classpath distro DevJam was a great success. It seems we brought some harmony into the hearts and minds of the different distributions (Ubuntu, SkoleLinux, Debian, Fedora, Suse, Gentoo, OpenEmbedded) that participated. And being able to talk and debug some issues with several of the upstream projects involved (GNU Classpath, kaffe, gcj, Cacao) was definitely inspirational and productive.
Here is a list of summaries and notes of the meeting:
- SkoleLinux summaries and pictures
- OpenEmbedded ARM TODO list
- GCJ maintainer/Fedora impressions by Andrew Haley.
- Gentoo DevJam braindump by Petteri Räty (plus presentation)
- DevJam Arrival and Schedule/Discussion notes
- Debian Project leader notes
- LWN article about the meeting that is currently being published for subscribers (please support LWN it is a great magazine). Next week it will be free for all.
If you know of more reports, please send me, or the devjam mailing-list, updates and additions.
On request of several of the participants I have setup a DevJam mailing-list so people can keep in touch and coordinate cross-distro/packaging/project things.
If you are interested in participating or helping out with a
followup meeting please see the wiki about DevJam++.
