NEXT TRAINING MEETING:
TBD (details)

The Ubuntu Training Community Team welcomes contributions from all levels. From new users to technical experts, we need your feedback to help create and test the various Ubuntu training products.

The Ubuntu Desktop Course ILT

The first Ubuntu Desktop Course, Instructor Led Training (ILT) was developed using DocBook to design and write the content. The current course was released for version 7.04. Our goal is to to update to version 8.04 LTS by the end of 2008. To that end we are in the process of reviewing various options for tools and processes to help foster as much community involvement as possible. The original course was developed using this process:

  1. Canonical had a training content company write the content using DocBook

  2. Bzr was used to host the main project and document

  3. Community & Canonical provided input at various stages of development using Bzr branches to submit patches (though some less technical folks - myself included - used the pdf version and sent feedback via email)

  4. Canonical Training Team implemented changes by merging the Bzr branches and accepting email feedback
  5. As courses were finished, they were loaded onto the wiki for general use and feedback


Upgrading the UDC-ILT Course

  1. Identify changes needed see Upgrade Tasks

    • - mailing list - Weekly irc sessions to be held Wednesdays @ 19:00 UTC - Launchpad bugs - Bzr patches
  2. Organize sign up list by chapter/section for volunteers

    • - OO Write v3 can now edit Docbook format
