Regular App Packaging Event

[marcusquinn]

@doodlemania2 Roughly how long do you think a session would be? I can try and gather a number of devs, they are on the timezone GMT +3. From experience working across timezones something like 2-3pm GMT tends to cover most from west to east.

@doodlemania2 I'd be happy to (try and) help! I'm on EST so weekday evenings are good typically or weekend mornings. I'm not super proficient with packaging apps but have done a few before so can try and help get you through where you're stuck.

[doodlemania2]

@marcusquinn I'd say let's start with a one hour session and then we can work async offline to push it through if there is sufficient interest?

[doodlemania2]

@thetomester13 feel free to jump in on the repo if you'd like to help out - i can do it all, just haven't had the time. Whatever's left when we do the packaging event can be spent going through it from start to finish, talking about best practices (of which I am by no means the authority) and where we want to go from here.

[thetomester13]

@doodlemania2 tbh, I was hoping to go through it during the live session, debugging in tandem can be pretty powerful. That being said, if I get a chance between now and then, what hiccups exactly are you coming across? Haven't cloned it and ran it yet, but looks to be a good amount of the way there!

[doodlemania2]

@thetomester13 you bet - you're welcome of course to wait. No hiccups, just haven't had time to finish it and thought this might be a good one to get into the store.

Good example of when having Croodle available would be good for polling preferred times & days

[bubonicfred]

@marcusquinn You can use the polls app in nextcloud and chuck out a public link, obviously not quite as simple as croodle, but nice if you are already using nextcloud

[thetomester13]

@marcusquinn one app at a time

[doodlemania2]

Time to rip the bandaid off!
I'll start at 3PM EST this Friday and broadcast for one hour. Might even record it if I can find a button for that. Will send out a link later in the week to this thread on how to join. Will walk through how I package, what I'm currently packaging and how (paperlessng), my current state, and where I'm currently at. Can crowdsource after the fact.

@doodlemania2 please do record! Would be great to get it up on https://videos.cloudron.io/

Here's to easily check what time it will be on your timezone:

@doodlemania2 love it! I plan on being there and can try and help and chip in where needed!

[marcusquinn]

@doodlemania2 Great stuff, it's in my calendar and have asked a bunch of devs I work with to join hopefully.

Doesn't someone already have Croodle installed? I remember seeing it in the screen shots thread as a new unfamiliar icon.

Who wants to ping them to help us use it for this purpose?

[doodlemania2]

@robi I'm happy to use someone's Croodle, or, I can use my Jitsee meet (or cloudron's)

[jdaviescoates]

@doodlemania2 @robi @murgero has packaged it and has it installed here:

https://croodle.urgero.org/

[doodlemania2]

@jdaviescoates Can yall share? Would like to put it on my CR to play with prior to.

[jdaviescoates]

@doodlemania2 given I shared @murgero's demo install in my previous post, I guess you mean share the repo?

I just found this on git.cloudron.io:

https://git.cloudron.io/murgero/croodle-app

Hope that helps!

[doodlemania2]

@jdaviescoates oh yes, that's perfect - another plug for the "even before unstable" version of the app store hehe
