[Lubuntu-desktop] Fwd: Ubuntu Developer Week - Preparation
Well, very quickly, what do all wish me to concentrate upon? My view is where we came on from and our rasion d'etre There still seems to be an issue between https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu#Downloading Lubuntu and the information on http://lubuntu.net/ A new comer to Lubuntu cares not about which area has the up to date information. All that matters to them is that we do not get one set of information on lubuntu.net that is not in synch with the other and, vice versa. Whatever Lubuntu area is chosen for the most up to date information is THE area, all others feed off it. I know that I am awaiting for the build system to be finalised, I can and will happily explain that we are awaiting. It was nice to be asked from the Lubuntu area to make a presentation to everyone. We have enough time (well, about 10 days). Please do shout and scream at me.

UDW would be nothing without you. 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... :-)). 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. 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. 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. Please help out spreading the news about it once it is announced! You all rock! If you have any more questions, please let me know.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Fwd: Ubuntu Developer Week - Preparation
Hi Phil, I would agree to continue having the information on the wiki and linking it from lubuntu.net as this is the easiest way to have different people (whoever wants) to work together on the project documentation. We can work together to sync the links and documentation with the latest versions on the wiki and help area during UDW. What do you think? - Mario On Tue, Jul 5, 2011 at 12:01 AM, Phill Whiteside phi...@ubuntu.com wrote: Well, very quickly, what do all wish me to concentrate upon?

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Fwd: Ubuntu Developer Week - Preparation
I've not been able to play at the desk much in the past few weeks. but the top of my list is: 1) Integrate with iso-testing so I can test Lubuntu rather than Ubuntu. (Although I'll still cross-test for certain bugs.) 2) I think you know what will work best with the documentation. I stumbled a bit at first but after corresponding briefly with you at the Ubuntu forums it all became clear. 3) Bug reporting info is good but may need some refining. I'm personally quite pleased with Lubuntu, both Natty and Oneiric. Beyond being a great light-weight distro I think it offers a sweet alternative to the newer Unity and Gnome options ;^) BTW I can get Lubuntu to run on a PII 333mhz CPU w/256mb RAM, not live but if I choose install it does install and work properly - certainly better than Win 98 :^) --- On Mon, 7/4/11, Phill Whiteside phi...@ubuntu.com wrote: From: Phill Whiteside phi...@ubuntu.com Subject: [Lubuntu-desktop] Fwd: Ubuntu Developer Week - Preparation To: lubuntu-desktop lubuntu-desktop@lists.launchpad.net Date: Monday, July 4, 2011, 5:01 PM Well, very quickly, what do all wish me to concentrate upon?
