It is also our hope to help users to become more engaged in the Ubuntu community. Our goal is to take new motivated users and turn them into contributing members of the community. We intend to do this by working with existing teams such as the Beginners and classroom teams, as well as leveraging the work and ongoing training already being done by the MOTU team, Bug Squad, and LoCo Teams to develop an integrated training solution that will allow the community to undertake self-paced training in conjunction with IRC based instructor lead training. '''Tuesday''' * sabdfl Question and Answer: In this popular two hour block Mark Shuttleworth, Ubuntu's Self Appointed Benevolant Dictator for Life (sabdfl) will field questions from users.

They will be answering any questions you might have about Kubuntu and KDE4. * Be your neighbor's Ubuntu Guru - FabianRodriguez shares a few tips and tricks on how to introduce your neighbors, friends or colleagues to Ubuntu without becoming their 24/7 dedicated "computer guy". Empower them to become autonomous and be part of the community (or not!) with some technical support power tricks and key, chosen URLs that will help quickly understand Ubuntu and free software. * Good Practices in Reporting Ubuntu Bugs - QA Team member Murat Güneş will explain how to file better bug reports and share tips on keeping track of your reports, making sure they are reported in the right place and providing the required information to developers. * Staying Up to Date - Nathan Handler will share his tips on what resources to follow for all the Ubuntu information out there in our vast community. * Ubuntu Women Project - Introduction to the Ubuntu Women Project, current project status and initiatives, and general Q&A.

As Ubuntu has grown, so have the number of news articles and blogs written about it, and with the Ubuntu Community growing at break neck speed, reporting all the happenings has never been more challenging. * Triaging Bugs in Ubuntu - When users report a bug it's up to people to categorize those bugs into groups so developers can look at them, this is called triaging. In this session Pedro Villavicencio will show you how to do this. * Upstream Bug Workflow - As a linux distributor we ship a bunch of diverse software (GNOME,KDE, Firefox, etc.) When users report bugs with this software it is our duty to ensure that we are filing those bugs with the proper projects and ensuring that they get reported in the right place. In this session Jorge Castro will show you how that's done in Ubuntu and how you can help us improve that. * Launchpad Code Hosting - Did you know Launchpad will host your open source software and all it's code and branches? Jonathan Lange will show you how it works and what new features they expect to ship soon. '''Friday''' * Launchpad Soyuz Overview - Soyuz is the infrastructure behind Launchpad's popular Personal Package Archives. Celso Providelo will fill you in on how to take advantage of PPAs. * Demythyfing Launchpad Translations - Launchpad Translations (codenamed Rosetta) is the tool used for translating Ubuntu. However, any project outside Ubuntu can also take advantage of its features. David Planella will take you to a tour including that and other not-so-well known Rosetta features. * Exhibiting Ubuntu at Conferences - As more community-led conferences and other events begin to take center stage, there will be more opportunities for LoCos to host booths on exhibition floors. Running a booth requires careful planning and dedication from the team, but is a great way to work together, promote Ubuntu, and have a blast. * Gaming With Ubuntu - Ubuntu wasn't designed for games, and games weren't designed for Ubuntu. But in this session Ben Crisford will help you make Ubuntu a suitable platform for your needs. The session will involve downloads (but all completely free). NOTE - not all games will run with the methods discussed in this session but there will be other ways (some cost money) which you can ask Ben about. * Ubuntu Kernel Q+A - In this talk LeAnn Ogasawara will be discussing features in the Ubuntu Kernel in Jaunty and beyond. * Ubuntu Forums - In this session [[BodhiZazen]] will give a tour of the forums and show some fun features. * Final Questions and Feedback - Here's your chance to volunteer to help for the next time around, leave feedback, and let us know how useful Open Week was for you. |

Takes place from Mon 2 November - Fri 6 November on IRC in #ubuntu-classroom.
Welcome to the Ubuntu Open Week!
Click here to join in!
Ubuntu is a freely available, simple to use Linux desktop and server. The Ubuntu project has developed a strong reputation for technical excellence and a commitment to the free software community, and we are always keen to grow and extend our community where possible. Ubuntu does not distinguish between different Enterprise and Open versions - we have one single version of Ubuntu, and this version is and will always be entirely free. Ubuntu is used by over 8 million people and has a worldwide community of volunteers who contribute in many different areas such as packaging, documentation, art, translations, testing, marketing and more.
Find out more about the Ubuntu Desktop, Server, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Mobile, UNR, and download them.
Road test our community
In just four years, Ubuntu has become one the most popular Linux distributions in the world with millions of users and a thriving community. Ever wondered what all the fuss is about? How have we achieved such a great feat in such a short space of time? Here's where you can find out. Ubuntu Open Week is a week of IRC tuition and Q+A sessions all about getting involved in the rock-and-roll world that is the Ubuntu community. We organise this week for the beginning of a new release cycle to help new contributors get involved.
Ubuntu Open Week was a series of online workshops where you could:
- learn about the Ubuntu landscape
- talk to some of the key developers from the Ubuntu project
- find out about the Community and its relationship with Canonical
participate in an open Q&A with Mark Shuttleworth, the founder of Ubuntu
- much more...
Ubuntu Developer Week is here: UbuntuDeveloperWeek.

We organised a week long menu of events that touch many different areas of the Ubuntu community. If you are interested in being a part of the project, there is sure to be a session for you.
