Clear message

Welcome to the Open Week Prep page. The schedule for UbuntuOpenWeek is available: Please add your topic to the schedule after you've talked to JorgeCastro.

  • add topics that you would like to see discussed
  • sign up to run a session

If you want to run a session, add your name and topic. Make sure your topic is:

  • Ubuntu-related
  • "IRC able" - something that can be explained to someone in an hour or less on IRC.

Warning /!\ keep in mind that this is a brainstorming space and we have limited slots on the schedule, so we're looking for a good mix of topics but can't guarantee that everyone will have a slot - remember you can always run a session outside of Open Week in #ubuntu-classroom.

Once the schedule is finalised we will start filling it up on the UbuntuOpenWeek page.

Topics You'd Like to See Covered

  • How to report bugs about Ubuntu
  • How to run LoCo install fests / release parties

Topics You'd Like to Run

Description of the proposed topics

If the title of you talk is not self explanatory please add a description of it.

With a little help: This is an introductory talk to the different services that can be found to ask for help when using ubuntu. The community offers services that are very organized and knowing where to look can help save time for both the people asking and the people volunteering to help. Basic Nettiquete will be introduced to foster good web habbits. This talk is intended for newcomers but it might be good for anyone who needs a broader idea of how the Ubuntu community helps.
