Ubuntu Open Week
- When: Monday 28 April 2008 - Saturday 3 May 2008
- Where: #ubuntu-classroom on Freenode
Schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek/
The aim of the week is to help grow the Ubuntu community, and they have an awesome set of topics ready for you. If you’ve considered getting involved in Ubuntu and don’t know where to start, then this is a great opportunity to jump in. There will be sessions on all kinds of subjects including an "Ask Mark" session. Remember, being part of Ubuntu does not have to be a technical, hardcore, programming or packaging job. You can be involved with artwork, marketing, advocacy, local community teams, documentation, translations and more. If you are interested in being a part of the Ubuntu project, there is sure to be a session for you, take this time to join the Ubuntu Community and become part of the world-class team that puts Ubuntu together. We are keen to show that everyone can be a part of our growing community. http://fridge.ubuntu.com/node/1402.
