Wrapping Up: Last Commits to Ubuntu Touch

Hello,

Landed bug 1438910 on Calendar today — almost exactly two years since I first showed up to help close out bugs on the Calculator app back in July 2013. Between those two dates: a full app rebuilt from a half-finished blueprint, an Ubuntu Membership, a lot of design arguments over IRC, more Autopilot test debugging than I ever expected to do for a phone calendar.

Haven’t been as consistent the last couple of months as I was through most of last year — work’s gotten busier, and the commits have been getting further apart. Not stopping exactly, just slower than I’d like to admit.

Whatever happens next with the app, it feels worth writing down that two years ago this was just a bug I filed on an app I barely used, and somewhere in there it turned into something I actually cared about finishing properly. Riccardo’s own two-year post went up a couple of weeks ago — 660+ commits and a couple of Canonical Sprints in, still going strong. Wouldn’t mind having that kind of staying power.
