Prep

Revision 268 as of 2009-10-01 18:28:59

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.

Timeline

  • Start scheduling 7 September.
  • Announce the finalized schedule on 7 October.
  • Openweek itself, 2-6 Nov

Topics You'd Like to See Covered

Leave a subject and a small description

  • Topics thread on the forums.

  • Docs day - Really great last time with a bunch of participation, it'd be great to expand this.
  • An ubuntu-women track
  • Translated Channels - DeveloperWeek was able to run sessions in other languages, we should try to do the same.

  • On-the-fly - We should encourage people to run sessions outside the normal schedule, so LoCos or something could do sessions in their timezone as time allows to encourage people to keep the ball rolling all week. (needs a cooler name)

  • How to support Ubuntu user that ask for support - explain how to help people that requested support. How do you get someone to do something (right)? How to handle aggressive behaviour? How can you help the user with reporting a bug when the problem turns out to be caused by a bug? Etc, etc.

Topics You'd Like to Run

Leave a subject and a small description

Since the schedule is not finalised this is NOT a commitment, put your name down if you'd be interested in running a session, we'll work out the scheduling details later. Feel free to pencil yourself in in the grid however!
