Hi guys about the "Weekly get together"
I asked a few LoCo guys in #ubuntu-offtopic channel about their experiences in
organizing such meeting and I got some valuable suggestions.
So here is the plan:
The meeting will start on 9 'o' clock Sunday till 11 'o' clock PM IST Sunday
1st Feb
It will consist of following
1. First 15 minutes on Linux and how its developed and distributed.
2. Nest 30 minutes on Ubuntu , Mark Shuttleworth,Cannical and Launchpad(LP).
3. Next 1h15min on the problem Indian ubuntu users face.The problems that will
be addressed in this session will be:
a. Lack of fast Internet Connection so need to provide some way to upgrade
ubuntu in offline mode.
b. How to create LP accounts and report bugs.
c. Women Indian Ubuntu developers.( THIS WAS POINTED OUT BY "Myriatti" IN
#ubuntu-offtopic CHANNEL)
d. Motivating developers to form a team to create Ubuntu-India distro so that
the propreitary packages which are not in the original ubuntu distro but is
legal in India to be freely distributed can be included ( thats a step towards
solving the problem the guy faced when installing ubuntu in a remote village of
Karnataka ).
e. Topics to be taken in the next meeting.
The meeting needs enthusiastic volunteers who want to give presentation in any
of the above topics.
Please give your suggestions.
Volunteers please mail me your name with topics you are interested in giving
presentation ( please try to give more than one topic and also if you have any
experience in that area ) , I know some of the topics are going to be more
favourite and in any case of collision over a topic the presenters will be
assigned on "FIRST COME FIRST SERVE BASIS".
