I love this 'Ubuntu Development Guide' by Daniel Holbach
I came across this Ubuntu Development Guide by Daniel Holback while looking through Planet Ubuntu.
It tells you all the things you need to do technically to get set up for development, as in creation and modification of packages for Ubuntu GNU/Linux.
That's what I like to see (and often do in Ubuntu): People helping other people get involved.





Ubuntu holds online developer weeks throughout the year. dholbach holds some sessions the same manner as his blog post you linked to. The transcripts are very informative:
