Developer Experience Hackfest, 2014

Endocode, Berlin, Germany: April 30 - May 2

Primary contacts: AllanDay & AlbertoRuiz

Description

Following on from the extremely successful 2013 Developer Experience Hackfest, this event aims to keep up the momentum with the GNOME application developer experience. We'll be revisiting the work we did at last year's event, reviewing our progress since then and planning next steps.

Goals

As with last year's event, all aspects of the GNOME application developer experience are in scope, including:

  • GTK+ - roadmap for the toolkit, discussion on what new features are required and a timetable for their execution.
  • Tools - including editors, Glade, Dev Help and so on.
  • Developer documentation - generated API reference docs, hand-written tutorials and the developer centre website.

We are placing particular emphasis on GTK+ and establishing a GTK+ roadmap for this hackfest.

The central aim of this hackfest is to agree on an actionable plan for each area of the developer experience, including a GTK+ roadmap, a plan for tooling, and a design for an updated developer centre website.

Agenda
