| We REALLY REALLY depend on community involvement to make this course as fantastic as can be. As such, we have set up a new Ubuntu training community team and a working model whereby: [[BR]] a. We have a training content company write the content a. Community & Canonical provide input at various stages of development a. Content people implement changes a. Once courses are finished, they're loaded onto the wiki for general use and abuse a. 3 months before next Ubuntu release, we review the content ad decide which elements need to be included in the next version etc. [[BR]] We will be using Docbook to design and write the content. One word of caution is that this project will be deadline driven - cut off points for feedback will be absolute in order for us to be able to meet the November target date.
