Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Ubuntu Developer Week - Preparation
some of the mentions earlier in the thread were alluding to MY VERSION IS BETTER THAN YOUR VERSION. This is not how Ubuntu family works, whilst some would like to argue for that - I have so, so many reasons for not to do so. In fact, when it comes down to 'why Lubuntu', you have actually given me the answer :) Ah, you want me answer? Well, be there for the presentation. Regards, Phill.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Ubuntu Developer Week - Preparation
As of yet, i have had no input to the presentation. I do need thoughts in by about Wednesday. so... Get creative, I'd appreciate your ideas. This is *NOT *phillw chatting to them, it it *US* chatting to them. Please ensure that is the case. Regards, Phillw.

This mail is another reminder. Am 04.07.2011 13:43, schrieb Daniel Holbach: Please forward this message to people who will give the session together with you, so they know what's going on and who to ask for help if necessary. We are going to announce the event either today or tomorrow and there is only very little for you to do until then (apart from preparing a few bits for your session... :-)). Have you all done the above? (Session prepared, informed your co-hosts?) You might have heard of Lernid already. Think of it as a great way to join into learning events on IRC. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lernid has more info about it. We will advertise this as a good way for new people to join UDW. The great thing is that they don't have to bother with IRC and stuff, but also that links you mention automatically are opened in a webpage pane and that if you decide to use slides (in .pdf format), you can demo them too. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lernid/Session%20Leaders has more info about how to do that. If you want your presentation to be available for the event, either send me a link to it or the presentation itself. Please ignore the bits about lernid above. It won't be ready for this UDW. Unfortunately. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDeveloperWeek is the final schedule and I just set up https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDeveloperWeek/Sessions where you can ask the attendants of your sessions to prepare themselves, if necessary. Also describe what the session is about. Please update the page accordingly. If you could update the /Sessions page, that'd be grand, especially if your audience will have to do some preparation for the session (ie. install a few packages). For those of you who have not participated in an Ubuntu Developer Week before, this is roughly how it works: - Sessions are held in #ubuntu-classroom on irc.freenode.net. It will almost exclusively you speaking in there. Please try to finish your session in time for the next session. - Some sessions in the past had ~400 attendants, so to keep the session log readable and understandable, we ask attendants to ask their questions in #ubuntu-classroom-chat. We will have a bot in the chat channel who can relay questions easily. Check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Classroom/ClassBot for more info. - Session logs will be made available afterwards on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDeveloperWeek - We will have translators available in channels like #ubuntu-classroom-chat-ca, #ubuntu-classroom-chat-de, etc. who will translate and relay questions to #ubuntu-classroom-chat for those who are not confident enough in their English. If you have any questions about the above, please let me know. Please help out spreading the news about it once it is announced! Help with spreading the news is appreciated.
