Now that Ubuntu Core has been officially released, it might be a good time to get your snaps into the Store. Delivery and Store Concepts So let’s start with a refresher on what we have available on the Store side to manage your snaps. Every time you push a snap to the store, the store will assign it a revision, this revision is unique in the store for this particular snap. ...

Today I am going to be discussing parts. This is one of the pillars of snapcraft (together with plugins and the lifecycle). For those not familiar, this is snapcraft’s general purpose landing page, http://snapcraft.io/ but if you are a developer and have already been introduced to this new world of snaps, you probably want to just go and hop on to http://snapcraft.io/create/ If you go over this snapcraft tour you will notice the many uses of parts and start to wonder how to get started or think that maybe you are duplicating work done by others, or even better, maybe an upstream. ...

UbuCon UbuCon is where was I was mostly involved, I had a scheduled lightning talk, a proper talk that I gave out with Manik and also actively involved in 3 unconference sessions.
