14 DAY TRIAL // The second and last Ubuntu Developer Week online event for 2010 took place between July 12th to July 16th and covered various aspects of the Ubuntu and Kubuntu development process, from crash-courses in getting started with development to more advanced topics, such as Ubuntu hacking, creating applications for Ubuntu with Quickly or working with the Django web framework.
On the last day of UDW, we've had the pleasure of talking a few minutes to Daniel Holbach, one of the organizers of this wonderful educational event, which takes place twice a year. Daniel was a bit sad because UDW was almost over, but on the other hand he was very enthusiastic about the number of participants who attended, and the quality of the event: "Again I’d like to thank everybody for helping out with making Ubuntu Developer Week rock as hard as it did. 350+ attendees, 25 sessions, lots of covered topics and everything happened in a very seamless fashion. Awesome. Thanks again!," said Daniel Holbach on his personal blog.
As usual, to help non-English attendees, the event was translated in many languages, such as German, French, Catalan, Finnish, Spanish, Italian or Danish. With over 350 participants, this second Ubuntu Developer Week event was definitely a huge success, because everyone had something to learn.
For those of you who missed the event, Daniel Holbach was kind enough to provide a re-cap of the Ubuntu Developer Week.
The next Ubuntu Developer Week event will take place in Q1 2011, on the usual IRC channels (#ubuntu-classroom on irc.freenode.net). In the mean time, Ubuntu users can attend the Packaging Training sessions and the colorful Ubuntu Open Week online event, where users can talk with the famous Mark Shuttleworth, among other things.
