Awesome guys,

@Dale, i dont know the details of the times and whatnot, but supposedly
LoCo's will be running sessions 24/7 because they are from all over the
world. I suspect the timetable will be in GMT or something. I will try and
find some more info.

Hi Ryan,

I will try and help out sometime through the period that the LoCo event
is on.

Can you give more accurate details to when the event starts and
finishes ie if they if they working on GMT as a time standard so I can
convert to my local time.

LoCo Day

2010-11-12 Thread Ryan Macnish
I am asking this on the mailing list, because the LoCo Day is pretty much
the day after the meeting.

The classroom team have organised an event called LoCo day, where heaps of
LoCo's come together and hold sessions about LoCo stuff (like an Open Week
for LoCo's). I want to know if we want to participate, i will be present and
asking questions regardless. I think this would be a perfect opportunity to
gather together and have some fun, while also getting advice and tips about
fixing up our own crippled loco. The LoCo Day event spans over 3 days
(December 17th - 19th), so if you think we should participate, please reply
BEFORE about the 10th of December or so. I do not want to hear any "I think
we should participate, but i'm not going to", we are a group, so we should
all pitch in and do this. If you guys want to get re-approved, we need to do
something!

Fwd: Announcing the First LoCo Day Event: Second Try

Subject: Announcing the First LoCo Day Event: Second Try

, Ubuntu Classroom Management
, ubuntu-news-team-request



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

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.
