Hi everyone! Ubuntu Open Week is Monday May 3rd to Friday May 7th, with sessions starting from 8AM to 1PM California time. It's a series of sessions located on Internet Relay Chat with speakers from different parts of the Ubuntu community. I've attended past Ubuntu Open Weeks, and would highly recommend it!
You can get more information and the schedule at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek/ (to get from UTC to PDT, subtract 7). Instructions on connecting to IRC and joining the Ubuntu Open Week channels are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek/JoiningIn I've forwarded an email from Jorge Castro below which you might also find interesting, especially if you'd like to get involved in running a session. ~ Robert ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jorge O.

The IRC Classroom sensation Ubuntu Open Week has returned! Coming 3-7 May in #ubuntu-classroom. This is where we run an entire week's worth of sessions for Ubuntu users over a wide range of topics. As a bonus, Open Week in Spanish is also returning! Here's the schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek/ https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek_ES Here's a quick FAQ: * Is it too late to run a session? - Nope, we can always add extra sessions if we get more volunteers, so if you want to run a session then get a hold of us! This is the week after release so the buzz of new users will be exciting, a perfect opportunity to teach a class! * I want an Open Week in my own language! - Grab a wiki page and Just Do It(tm). Let us know and we'll help get the word out. If you can't find enough speakers for a whole week then just do what sessions you can. * Hey no fair, my *buntu (and/or other team) is missing! - We always want to use OpenWeek to get more users interested in your project and to find volunteers. Ping me for a session and we'll get you on the schedule. * Sneaky, you scheduled me for a session and didn't even ask! - Likely you've done a session in the past and people demanded more of you. Don't be so awesome next time. If there's any questions or if you're unsure if you want to commit just stop by #ubuntu-community-team on freenode IRC and ask! -- 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
