Re: [ubuntu-uk] Fwd: OpenWeek Call for Instructors / Sessions

[Phill Whiteside]

HI Alan,

this is running so close to the wire, I'm not really sure if I should
mention it. It is planned for 12.04 Lubuntu, but there is actually a squeak
of a chance that for those on low-spec computers who wish to choose Lubuntu
that the LSC may be ready in time. It will have most likely missed deadline
and quite possibly require a ppa for the 11.10 series, but I do know that
for some people lubuntu is about their option and with lubuntu coming
'official' at 11.10 it may be worth bearing in mind. The guy has gone from a
standing start to something that is on its ppa now. It is amazing when
someone takes the bull by the horns, just how quickly they can get things
done in an environment where people are eager for him to succeed and help in
all areas. There after I guess we have to wait two years for a new
innovative approach to things :P just you all wait until the launch of
Grub3... lol

I'm away from ~18th Oct - 1st Nov, If there is anything you feel Lubuntu can
contribute, please do ask. We do have UK based people (along with all others
in EU, R-O-W) who I am sure would be happy to help with for the UK side.

Regards,

Phill.

Hello!

I am pleased to announced the next Open Week dates, 17-21 October,
which is the week after release. This IRC workshop _extravaganza_ is
our showcase of our community to users, where we hand out tips,
tricks, and instructional guides to working with Ubuntu.

I am looking for instructors to give sessions on Ubuntu. This can be
anything from "How to use the software center" to how to get started
with the GIMP, or how to use Unity, etc.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek

The audience is a technical Ubuntu audience, a good rule of thumb is
"they know how to use IRC". We'd like to keep the sessions Ubuntu and
end-user related, so keep that in mind when signing up for a session.
If you've given a session in the past and want to sign up, feel free
to grab a slot. If you're new (and I do encourage new instructors) and
have questions feel free to ping me via email or find me on IRC
(jcastro on freenode).

As always, the #ubuntu-classroom channel is available during the "off
hours", so if you want to set up your own concurrent sessions that are
more useful for your timezone, then let me know. Also, Local Teams are
encouraged to do concurrent classes in their language or whatever
works for you.

Hope to see you there!

Try the localepurge package in the repo, it will automate the removal

it is now on the list. I am adding stuff to the end of the list, that 
doesn't mean it is the last one we get to, I am going to schedule them 
in such a way that people are available, and so that the route map 
bounces about all over the place.
