UbuntuOpenWeek
Welcome to the Ubuntu Open Week!
Takes place from Wednesday 24 Oct - Friday 26 Oct 2012 on IRC in #ubuntu-classroom and #ubuntu-classroom-chat.
Road test our community
In just seven 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.
