My name suggestions:

• Ubuntu Beginner Days
• Ubuntu User Days
• Ubuntu Tutorial Days

I personally prefer the user days name, that way we can have some courses that are more advanced.

Ubuntu User Days has been decided upon.

Course suggestions:

• Switching from Windows to Ubuntu
• Command Line Basics
• Ubuntu Equivalent programs (OO == MS Office, etc)
• Switching from a Mac to Ubuntu
• Using Ubuntu One
• How to get help
• How to Get Involved with the Community

  • LoCo Teams

  • Forums

  • BugSquad

  • Translations
  • Developing
• How to 'use' restricted drivers
  • From the repositories
  • From the vendor

Things to do:

• Create a wiki page
• Provide a way for users to submit course suggestions
