Welcome to the Ubuntu Open Week!

Takes place from Tuesday 21 May - Wednesday 22 May 2013 on IRC in #ubuntu-classroom and #ubuntu-classroom-chat.

Road test our community

In just nine 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.

Find out more about the Ubuntu Desktop, Server, Kubuntu, Edubuntu Xubuntu, Ubuntu Studio, Mythbuntu, Lubuntu, 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.

The previous Ubuntu Open Week session Schedule and Logs can be found here.

If you use identi.ca, you can subscribe to @ubuntuclassroom to be informed whenever a new Open Week is about to begin. (You can also follow @ubuntuclassroom on Twitter).
