Hi everyone, I've been talking with Martin Owens from the Ubuntu Learning Project<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Learning/> about collaborating with us. The Ubuntu Learning Project is designed to help new Ubuntu adopters, both individual users, and organisations, with Ubuntu training. The long term goal of the project is to organize teaching, but this is not possible until the content is in place. Of course organizations can run their own classes on Ubuntu using our content.
The content and material is formatted and displayed in a way that would be easy to integrate into physical real-life or online classes and help sessions, and is topical based so that instructors/teachers can easily run a series of classes. Obviously there is a huge opportunity there for collaboration between our project and the Learning project, as we cross over on at least one topic. After we have finished creating a lot of our content, it will be shared with the Learning project to be distributed to a wider audience - and in return we would get an even more "official status" and recognition in the community as the Learning project is sponsored and supported by Canonical. Martin Owens has personally requested help from our team to transpose our content into the Learning project after we have finished our Lucid final release milestone. I have offered to help convert some of our content across, and I'd like some more people to volunteer to help as well - it won't take long. It is my understanding that their project uses docbook. As an aside, Martin would also like some Python programmers to help with his personal project, Ground Control. <https://edge.launchpad.net/groundcontrol> The aim of Ground Control is to seamlessly integrate launchpad and bzr into nautilus in the form of a plugin, to aid in project management and also to move away from relying on the command line to push and pull branches, thereby making it easier for new contributors to understand the process for submitted new revisions. If there are any Python programmers around then I would definitely recommend helping out this project - it's an excellent project and is something that is needed in Ubuntu.
