Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Ubuntu Developer Week - Preparation

2011-07-08 Thread Phill Whiteside
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.

  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.

OK, lets do an outline for people to improve on.  Try something like:

Title: Lubuntu: Getting Started with a new lightweight Ubuntu Flavour

 1. What is Lubuntu? (two sentence definition)
 2. Why do we need abother *ubuntu flavour? (reason for our existence)
 3. Who is it useful to? (intended audience)
 4. How to get started (where to download, where to get help)
 5. What do do when you have issues with it (where/how to report bugs)
 6. Minimal hardware needed:
6.1 for GUI install
6.2 for manual install on very low RAM machines
 7. Current known issues (point to FAQ)
 8. What changes will Lubuntu Oneiric bring?
 9. How you can help (testing/developing/translating/etc.)
10. Any questions?

That should fill a UDW slot, I'd think?  It's not super
developer-focused, but that is probably OK?  Depends on who the
intended audience is, which I am not totally clear about.

Comments and improvements welcome.

BTW we should check what we officially are... a Ubuntu variant, or
flavour or ... whatever it is... and then use that term consistently.

I'd tend to skip the history -- users and potential developers are
likely to care more about what Lubuntu can do for them *now* and what it
*will* do in the future, than about the past.
