Hello everyone, For various reasons, the LoCo Days event was unable to happen at its originally scheduled date. We want to give it another try. The first LoCo Days event will now take place the weekend of December 17-19. I am including my original announcement email below. If your LoCo is interested in getting involved, please contact a member of the Classroom Management Team and we can add you to the schedule. Thanks, Nathan Original Announcement (https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-classroom/2010-October/000225.html): Hello everyone, It is my great honor to be able to announce a new Ubuntu Classroom event that will be taking place: LoCo Days [1] ! To quote the wiki, "Most Classroom sessions done in the Ubuntu community are done in English. However, we have a large LoCo community as well. LoCo Days were designed to encourage LoCo Teams to start doing more Classroom sessions in their native languages." The first set of LoCo Days will take place from Friday, November 5th, 2010 - Sunday, November 7th, 2010. Sessions, to be given in the LoCo's native language, will focus will be on different LoCo-related HowTos. Some possible topics might include: How to host an Ubuntu Hour, How to start a Loco team, or How to organize a release party. Sessions will be lead by groups from different LoCos; there will be very few (if any) individuals hosting sessions. In order for this event to work, we need as many different LoCo teams to volunteer to lead sessions as possible. Sessions can take place any time during Friday, November 5th, 2010 - Sunday, November 7th, 2010, so LoCo teams should have no issue finding a convenient time. If you are interested in leading a session, please let either myself or another member of the Classroom Management Team [2] know so that we can add you to the schedule. Please be sure to pass this announcement on to the other members of your LoCo team. Thanks, Nathan Handler [1] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoDays [2] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Classroom/ContactUs -- loco-contacts mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/loco-contacts Good morning/afternoon/evening Ubuntu-AU'ers, This looks very much like what nisshh was referring to last night about the LOCO days. I think as a LOCO while we don't qualify as non English speaking I'm sure they would love our participation anyway as a lot of the classes don't really seem to cover our timezone all that well. If anyone has any particular topics they'd like to see covered and if anyone has any suggestions for time of day that would be best suited to Australian audiences lets hear them.
