The next Ubuntu Open Week is just a month away. Ubuntu Open Week is a week of IRC question and answer sessions all about getting involved in the rock-and-roll world that is the Ubuntu community. Open Week is organised the 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. 
There are currently no sessions lined up so if you are interested in helping out with a class or to just participate, go here:

Ive got to say… I LOVE this app. Lernid is a tool that makes connecting to online learning events such as UbuntuOpenWeek and UbuntuDeveloperWeek simple, easy and fun. Lernid gets you immersed in the content quickly and hassle free. I had the pleasure of using it a couple of years ago when it first debuted and again today. It has come a long way and is very much refined now.

Above is an example of what the Lernid app can do. When you are in a class session and an instructor posts a website link, the top area of Lernid will update and show the weblink right in the program so you dont need to open a separate web browser. If the instructor of the class has a slideshow, his slides will appear in the top right of Lernid and as the session progresses new slides will appear at appropriate times making your learning experience more visual and enjoyable. The bottom half of Lernid shows the classroom where the instructor talks and adds commentary, while the right half shows the classroom chat going on.

If at any time you want to ask a question, you would tick or select the QUESTION box and type in your question. If the question is valid, it will be posted to the instructor to answer.

You can go into the Lernid app anytime, even if there is no class taking place. It will show you what events are coming up soon.

Using Lernid is very enjoyable compared to just the text of an IRC chatroom. Give it a try with tomorrows Ubuntu Open Week sessions.

You can find Lernid in the Ubuntu Software Center. Search for it by name and install.

Ask Mark on May 1st

and

Ubuntu Open Week from May 2-4

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 organize this week for the beginning of a new release cycle to help new contributors get involved.

Ubuntu Open Week takes place in #ubuntu-classroom on irc.freenode.net (#ubuntu-classroom-chat for questions).

This cycle we’ve condensed it to 3 days, from May 2nd through 4th and have a special “Ask Mark” session on May 1st at 21:00 UTC.

During the “Ask Mark” session, community members are invited to ask Mark Shuttleworth (sabdfl) questions about the Ubuntu project. You will ask your questions in #ubuntu-classroom-chat with the prefix QUESTION: and DJones will be selecting specific questions to pass along to Mark in the main #ubuntu-classroom channel.
Then, from May 2-4 from 13:00 through 18:00 UTC, we will be hosting several sessions including:

  • Scaling wordpress with juju, the OMG!Ubuntu! story
  • Gaming on Ubuntu
  • Submitting your apps to the Ubuntu Software Centre
  • Ubuntu Development – how it all works
  • Starting, Maintaining & Expanding Ubuntu Hours
  • How to contribute translating Ubuntu
  • Ubuntu 12.04 LTS for Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Users

And much more! To check out the full schedule and learn more about the event, visit the Ubuntu Open Week page on the Ubuntu wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek

We hope to see you there! But if not, as always, logs will be available after each session.
