Hi all,

I know everyone is insanely busy at this time in the cycle; however,
your assistance is needed as Open Week is less than 2 weeks away and
the schedule is still *very* open.

Please take a look at the schedule
(https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek) and lets see what we can do
to bump this thing up a notch.  Remember the target audience for
Ubuntu Open Week is the *End User*, so think about what sessions can
be offered to help users (all of us) to become even better, more
efficient and effective. Each of us has knowledge we can share through
what we do for the Ubuntu project, whether it is explaining what the
council you are on does and what it means to the community, how does
your Loco Team work, a QA session with your team so that end users
understand what you do and how they can be part of that picture.  What
about a session on screencasting howto's, Filing bugs, testing and
more.  There are so many things to share and we share them everyday in
some capacity.

How about introductions to the derivative distro's such as  Kubuntu,
Edubuntu, Xubuntu, Ubuntu Studio, and more.  If you are on the Server,
Desktop, Kernel, Foundations, QA,  DX, Design or other Team consider
giving a Question and Answer Session.  As mentioned above if you are
on the Community Council, Forums Council, IRC Council, LoCo Council do
you have an hour where you can talk about issues and overviews related
to those areas and let the community know how to engage these areas
better.

What about projects such Beginners Team, Docs Team, Spread Ubuntu,
Ubuntu Marketing etc, let's reintroduce some of these to the community
again and share those things during open week.

Please take a moment to see if you can carve out 1 (one) hour of your
time to give to help end users learn more about the ins and outs
Ubuntu and the community that makes it what it is.  Share your
knowledge.  Don't worry if you haven't given a session before we can
help you get started.

If 14 people or teams of people can step up and give a session for
open week this would be *awesome*!  Take a look at the schedule
(https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek)  and either let me know where
to add your session or fill it in on the time table
(https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek/Timetable).  If you have any
questions, please email myself or Jorge Castro or ping either of us on
IRC (akgraner or jcastro).

I know I still have a lot to learn and I personally look forward to
open week more than any other Ubuntu week because I always learn
something new that helps me become a better end user and Ubuntu
community member.

Thank you in advance for those who will give sessions and those who
will attend as every session leader and participant makes open week
successful.

with much gratitude and appreciation,

~ Amber :-D

I was about to take a session when I noticed the date.
Sorry, might be shifting house, so not sure if I will have internet by then

Hi everyone,

Here at Ubuntu we love to give training sessions over IRC. Since
Developer and App Developer Week cover the more advanced end of the
spectrum we have something for normal users -- Ubuntu Open Week:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek

If you look at the last schedule you'll see that there's still some
pretty development focused sessions there:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MeetingLogs/openweekLucid

I am looking for instructors, specifically those of you who have never
taught a class before. Now that developer week is separate, we have
some leeway to make these sessions more productive for end users, so
I'm looking for some more end-user type questions. So, if you're
interested in helping out by teaching a session dive into the prep
page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek/Prep and submit your
ideas!

As always, if your Local Team wants to run a concurrent Open Week in
your own native language feel free to branch from this wiki page and
arrange something, please let me know so I can help get the word out.

(Hoping for someone to do an Inkscape class!)

2009-10-15 Thread Jan Claeys
A couple of weeks from now it's Ubuntu Open Week again.
Always a good opportunity to learn something new about Ubuntu!

Sessions include explaining how to help testing Ubuntu, how to use the
GIMP, ask questions to Mark Shuttleworth, make Ubuntu more secure,
community issues  leadership, etc.--so there really is something for
every experience level...  :-)

There are lots of Linux users who don't care how the kernel works, but
only want to use it. That is a tribute to how good Linux is.

Hi everyone,

Please pass this onto your locos!

Just a quick note to let you know that Ubuntu Open Week has been
announced for the week of Mon 3 Nov - Fri 7 Nov in #ubuntu-classroom on

Ubuntu Open Week is a week of IRC tuition and Q+A sessions all about
getting involved in the rock-and-roll world that is the Ubuntu
community. We organise this week for the beginning of a new release
cycle to help new contributors get involved. Thanks to Jorge for helping
to get the week together and for everyone who is helping to run
sessions. Its going to be a fun week!
