FOSDEM event "Lowering the Barrier for New Developers"

Muhammet Kara

Type devroom

Developing in the cloud via GitPod

Starts on day 2 (2021-02-07) at 10:25 (Brussels time, UTC+1) in room Libreoffice (duration 00:35)

Matrix room #libreoffice:fosdem.org

Collabora Online (COOL) is a LibreOffice-based online office suite with collaborative editing. Time-to-start-hacking COOL has been lowered from ~a day to ~10 minutes thanks to integration with GitPod, a dev environment in the cloud, on its GitHub repo.

We will try to share the story on and discuss these topics:

- What was it like in the past

- The search for ways to lower the barrier

- Cloud dev environments

- Setting up the repo for GitPod integration

- Adapting the infra/CI for faster builds in the cloud (and its nice side effects)

- Quick start on hacking COOL in the cloud

- Some numbers

- Can it be applied also to core (LibreOffice) repo? How?
