This Friday (11 Aug.) at 01:00 UTC, Jordan Mantha (aka LaserJock) will be leading a MOTU School session on Ubuntu packaging in #ubuntu-motu-school on Freenode. If you have ever wondered how those .debs are made, this session will be a great opportunity get started. He will introduce concepts noted in the Ubuntu Packaging Guide and will point out resources for learning more about packaging. Everyone is welcome to sit in!
As always, IRC logs of the session will be posted on the Ubuntu wiki soon afterward, so people who are unable to attend can follow the transcripts.
For those of you who like to read ahead (you know who you are), some advance reading will be posted at the Packaging Basics school session wikipage.
Update: Vid Ayer tells us: Jordan Mantha has kindly decided to repeat the session for the benefit of people in European time zones and will hold the session first at 01:00 UTC and a repeat at 17:00 UTC.
