Hi :) Errr, i am not sure how relevant this is but the LibreOffice community might have the capacity to get involved with this? Would it be good marketing for LibreOffice?
LibreOffice is the default Office Suite in most of the big-name distros including Ubuntu so it might help to get an overview of the wider OpenSource Communities and how they fit together in co-operative competition. It also works on Windows so people can use it in a more familiar environment after the course is over, alongside MS Office if they choose.

She is focusing a class around contributing to the Ubuntu Community and will need mentors to mentor the 28 students in this class there will be 14 students in each 4 week session and students are expected to meet with a mentor once per week for the duration (I believe there are two four week sessions since it is 28 students total) anyways the areas I need mentors in are: * Bug Triage * Documentation Contributing * Bug Fixing Processes I will need mentors who have a strong understanding in one of the above areas and I personally will be mentoring for Bug Triaging and Documentation but we will need plenty more due to the volume of students. Mentoring will be performed virtually through Skype, IM and E-mail. If you are interested in being a mentor please fill out the following form: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dFBtb21RSGdPSWNHTHpYU3FfbzlEMEE6MQ I hope to have 10-20 mentors and I understand I may not find them all within the LoCo so I will be reaching out to other LoCo's and likely various teams to meet the quota and if you know someone please pass this e-mail to them so I can get this important project sailing smoothly. -- Benjamin Kerensa Team Lead, Ubuntu Oregon [email protected] -----Inline Attachment Follows----- -- ubuntu-doc mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-doc -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/marketing/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
