Forwarding the message below for everyone's information - Forwarded message from Randall Ross - Date: Tue, 07 Jun 2011 20:34:19 -0700 From: Randall Ross To: loco-conta...@lists.ubuntu.com Subject: Open Call for Presenters: Ubuntu Community Week User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:7.0a1) Gecko/20110531 Thunderbird/7.0a1 Ubuntu Community Week is Coming! As many of you know, we've announced "Ubuntu Community Week" July 18 thru July 22nd 2011. The event outline is available on the wiki https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuCommunityWeek, and a draft schedule of topics and presenters will soon be announced. This is where you come in! Are you a "mover and shaker" in an Ubuntu community? Do you help organize events, presentations? Do you help spread Ubuntu where you live? Do you have sage advice for others to help them along their journey to building stronger communities or just to get more involved? This is an open call for presenters that can help with any of the scenarios described below. The idea behind the event is to help people engage with their Ubuntu community, to catalyze Ubuntu community growth, and to help make existing Ubuntu communities even better. So, if you have sage advice for any or all of the people described below, you can help! Please send me a brief outline of your presentation (3 or 4 sentences is enough) and let's get started! Thanks! Randall -- Use Case #1 Elizabeth is using a proprietary operating system from Redmond. She's considering trying Ubuntu. Where can I get an Ubuntu CD? What happens if I get stuck? What is the least intimidating way to meet my community? I don't run Ubuntu, should I even be thinking about joining? Use Case #2 Sid is a new Ubuntu user. Someone gave him an Ubuntu CD and he's installed it. What is a local community, and why should I care? How can I find my local community? Where do I start? Am I expected to contribute? Use Case #3 Jeremy has been participating in community events as an attendee, but not organizing/creating or presenting. Why should I get involved? What should I consider before "taking the plunge"? My community isn't really to my liking. What should I do? I want to evangelize Ubuntu and get others excited about it. How can I do it? Use Case #4 John is in a town with no findable Ubuntu community. He's thinking of starting one. How can I start an Ubuntu community? What should be the mission? Am I the right person for the job? Use Case #4 Joe is running (or helping to run) a local community How can I increase the findability of my local community? What are some events I should consider organizing? How can I find space for my events? How will I fund my events? Where will I locate my events? What events would make my community want to attend more often? What does my community need the most? Should I get my community approved? What's in it for us? And, what's involved? I'm feeling overwhelmed. What should I do? Use Case #5 Eric used to be part of an Ubuntu community but that was a couple years ago. Now he's involved in other projects. Should I reconsider joining my community? What would be different this time around if I did? Is Ubuntu even relevant any more? -- Other ways to reach me: chat : rrnwe...@jabber.org -- loco-contacts mailing list loco-conta...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/loco-contacts - End forwarded message - -- Regards, Nitesh Mistry | www.mistrynitesh.com PGP Key ID A6FEF696 | 'geekosopher' on irc.freenode.net -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in

Even many thinks that windows XP , M$ Office , etc as a whole are just having a cost not more than Rs 150 which is given to the Computer Service Center(?) ,Anyway I'm happy with the Kerala Government action at the Schools, They have completely removed M$ from the school syllabus up to 10th grade and introduced programming language python , (before it was QBAsic),gimp, open office etc -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
