Hi all, I know everyone is insanely busy at this time in the cycle; however, your assistance is needed as Open Week is less than 2 weeks away and the schedule is still *very* open.
Please take a look at the schedule (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek) and lets see what we can do to bump this thing up a notch. Remember the target audience for Ubuntu Open Week is the *End User*, so think about what sessions can be offered to help users (all of us) to become even better, more efficient and effective. Each of us has knowledge we can share through what we do for the Ubuntu project, whether it is explaining what the council you are on does and what it means to the community, how does your Loco Team work, a Q&A session with your team so that end users understand what you do and how they can be part of that picture. What about a session on screencasting howto's, Filing bugs, testing and more. There are so many things to share and we share them everyday in some capacity. How about introductions to the derivative distro's such as Kubuntu, Edubuntu, Xubuntu, Ubuntu Studio, and more. If you are on the Server, Desktop, Kernel, Foundations, QA, DX, Design or other Team consider giving a Question and Answer Session. As mentioned above if you are on the Community Council, Forums Council, IRC Council, LoCo Council do you have an hour where you can talk about issues and overviews related to those areas and let the community know how to engage these areas better. What about projects such Beginners Team, Docs Team, Spread Ubuntu, Ubuntu Marketing etc, let's reintroduce some of these to the community again and share those things during open week. Please take a moment to see if you can carve out 1 (one) hour of your time to give to help end users learn more about the ins and outs Ubuntu and the community that makes it what it is. Share your knowledge. Don't worry if you haven't given a session before we can help you get started. If 14 people or teams of people can step up and give a session for open week this would be *awesome*! Take a look at the schedule (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek) and either let me know where to add your session or fill it in on the time table (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek/Timetable). If you have any questions, please email myself or Jorge Castro or ping either of us on IRC (akgraner or jcastro). I know I still have a lot to learn and I personally look forward to open week more than any other Ubuntu week because I always learn something new that helps me become a better end user and Ubuntu community member. Thank you in advance for those who will give sessions and those who will attend as every session leader and participant makes open week successful. with much gratitude and appreciation, ~ Amber :-D Amber Graner//akgraner// http://akgraner.com/ http://www.ubuntu-user.com/Online/Blogs/Amber-Graner-You-in-Ubuntu Need help with Ubuntu?
