Hi folks,

I'm leading a UDW session on "Getting started with Launchpad
development" in a couple of weeks and I'd just like to canvas some
suggestions. Here's what I'm thinking of so far:

 1. Get everyone ready to go before we start (i.e. have them set up with
    rocketfuel and everything). I'll make this a prerequisite for the
    session.
 2. Find an easy bug which we can work with. (I've realised it's
    pointless and impractical to have everyone working on different
    bugs, so I'll work with one simple bug - which I'll take
    responsibility for landing the fix for - just so that people can get
    a feel of the tree and how we do development work).
 3. Talk them through writing and running the tests and adding the fix,
    then talk them through the process of submitting for review (I'll
    make sure they don't do this - maybe we should get them to bzr send to
    staging or something, if that's possible).
 4. Field questions.

If anyone's got any suggestions for improving this, or has any ideas of
something that I could do instead, suggestions are very, very welcome.

Cheers,

Graham
