I look forward to seeing replies from team members about the next Ubuntu Open Week [1] scheduled for November 2 - November 6th just after Karmic's release. People that attend our launch parties might be interested to hear about Open Week. The forthcoming flyer will be helpful.
While the Developer Week [2] and the Global Jam [3] focus on contributions to Ubuntu (including documentation and the wiki), Ubuntu Open Week is designed to reach out to a more general audience. Last time Joe and Neal hosted a session titled "Exhibiting Ubuntu at Conferences." Here's the session log. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeetingLogs/openweekJaunty/UbuntuExhibit Cheers, Grant Bowman https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam [1] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek [2] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDeveloperWeek [3] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGlobalJam - contributions in the form of bugs, testing, documentation, translations and other ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jorge O. Castro <[email protected]> Date: Tue, Sep 8, 2009 at 7:18 AM Subject: Ubuntu Open Week preparations To: "Ubuntu local community team (LoCo) contacts" <[email protected]> Hi everyone, Now that we've got yet another successful Developer Week under our belts it's time to get planning for Ubuntu Open Week underway. First of all, Open Week is a weeklong IRC workshop for people to "road test" our community. The audience for Open Week is more general than Developer Week, so the sessions are more broad and simple. The wiki page for OpenWeek is here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek As always, we depend on Local Team participation to make this week a success. Not in just attending, but in participating in generating content for users. This is the time when you can give those IRC classes that you've always wanted to give to a captive audience. Here's the wiki page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek/Prep I have a section called "Topics You'd Like to See Covered" and "Topics You'd Like to Run". Use these as little brainstorming whiteboards to write down what you think would make a great session, or if you have an idea in mind of something you'd like to run. Right now concentrate on getting some good ideas in there, don't worry too much about the schedule yet, we'll start penciling them in after we get a bunch of ideas down. We're also planning to have a brochure for Open Week like developerweek. We have that in a Google Doc, if you want to help hack on it let myself of Amber Graner know and we can invite you in. Also if you have any wacky or crazy ideas please let me know or discuss here, we are keen on evolving Open Week from "a bunch of IRC sessions" to something more interactive and exciting. -- Jorge Castro jorge (at) ubuntu.com External Project Developer Relations Canonical Ltd. -- loco-contacts mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/loco-contacts -- Ubuntu-us-ca mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-us-ca
