Call for Ubuntu User Days Instructors

It's time to start planning for the second Ubuntu User Day! This time it will be held on June 5, 2010. We are going to attempt to fill 24 time slots so that everyone around the world has the ability to participate in the User Day! You can find out more information about Ubuntu User Days by visiting the Ubuntu User Day wiki page [1] or the planning wiki page [2]. To sign up to lead a session, visit the Course Suggestions wiki page [3] and look through the course suggestions that we have provided. We are also willing to take your suggestions on other courses to teach, just keep in mind that Ubuntu User Days are geared towards new and newer Ubuntu Users. You can see the logs [4] from the last Ubuntu User Day to see some of the courses that were taught then. Please feel free to email me if you have any questions and I look forward to working with you soon.
