zookeepr.org

Submitted by Joshua Hesketh on Mon, 16/06/2008 - 15:58.

zookeepr.org has been updated to include some more relevant instructions on how to get yourself a copy of the conference management software and how start making changes.

Here is John Ferlito's announcement:

Hi,

After last month's hackfest I've done a bit of work cleaning up all
the Zookeepr infrastructure so we can move forwards with development.

We now have a core team. For the moment this consists of

Jiri Baum
John Ferlito
Joshua Hesketh

Our responsibilities basically entail

Organising the project
Keeping the code clean
Merging other people's code
Managing the bugs
Keeping the website up to date

I've also reorganised the infrastructure.

We have three mailing lists

zookeepr-core@zookeepr.org - Core Team Discussions, Security Issues
zookeepr-devel@zookeep.org - General development discussions
zookeepr-announce@zookeep.org - Announcements

Down the track I see us adding a -users but I don't think there is
much point right now.

All of you are currently on the -devel list. If you aren't interested
in day to day development discussions then it might be worth moving to
-announce.

The website http://www.zookeepr.org has been moved from trac to
pmwiki. At the moment the wiki is closed and you should ask me for an
account if you want to actively make changes. I'm open to making it
public but didn't really have time to put anti-SPAM measures in place.

For source code management we will continue using bzr but are going to
use launchpad for hosting as this makes management a bit easier. You
can find the trunk as well as everyone else's branches at
https://code.launchpad.net/zookeepr

To add your own branch, basically just sign up for an account on
launchpad.net, go to the project and select "register branch"
(https://code.launchpad.net/zookeepr/+addbranch). This can be either
hosted at launchpad or mirrored off your own server. Once you have
registered your branch, zookeepr will provide you with instructions on
how to pull and push to your personal development copy. Once you are
done making your changes in the branch, please select "propose for
merging" where somebody on the core team will merge it into the trunk.

We will also use launchpad for bugs at https://bugs.launchpad.net/zookeepr.
I didn't bother moving any of the bugs from trac as none of them
seemed relevant any more.

So that's about it from me. I think our next step if for the 09 team
to create some blueprints in launchpad for what they need and start
filing bugs like crazy for us to all start working on.

Lets get hacking!

Cheers,

John

Important parts to note is that we recommend using launchpad for reporting bugs, creating branches and proposing your code for merging.

Happy hacking!
