Welcome to the Ubuntu Open Week!

Takes place from Mon 11 Oct - Fri 15 Oct on IRC in #ubuntu-classroom and #ubuntu-classroom-chat.

Road test our community

In just six years, Ubuntu has become one of 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 is a series of online workshops where you can:

  • 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

  • Check out our booklet, with the schedule and descriptions of the sessions: http://frylock.redvoodoo.org/~akgraner/UOW-Lucid-Booklet.pdf

Find out more about the Ubuntu Desktop, Server, Kubuntu, Edubuntu Xubuntu, Ubuntu Studio, Mythbuntu, UNR, and download them.

The Timetable

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.

For more information on each session a Session and session lead wiki page as well as an Open Week pdf Booklet have been created. Click here to download New Open Week Booklet.

Logs can be found at MeetingLogs->Open Week Lucid.
