Hi everyone!

With the up-and-coming release of Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon coming, I am pleased to announce another Ubuntu Open Week, this time taking place the week following the Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon launch - Mon 22nd Oct - Sat 27th Oct on #ubuntu-classroom on Freedode. The sessions take place from 15.00 UTC to 21.00UTC

Ubuntu Open Week is a week full of 42 IRC tutorial sessions on a range of subjects, designed to help people get involved in the Ubuntu community. It is given by many of the brightest, most capable members of the Ubuntu community, and covers a range of subjects including packaging, bug triage, translations, accessibility, automated testing, loco teams, mentoring, Launchpad, kernel team, desktop team, training team and much more. In addition to this there will be sessions for Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Ubuntu Studio, and the newest member of the Ubuntu family, Gobuntu.

There will also be a special Ask Mark session (Wed 24th Oct @ 16.00UTC) in which you have two hours to ask Mark Shuttleworth, the founder of Ubuntu, your burning questions. I will also be providing a Community Q+A session (Wed 24th Oct @ 15.00UTC) in which you can ask your questions about the community, Ubuntu, Canonical and anything else.

I am particularly excited to see Daniel Holbach, packaging king, provide two two-hour tutorial sessions on packaging - if you want to get involved in Ubuntu packaging and join the incredible MOTU project, be sure to get along on Tue 23rd Oct @ 15.00UTC and Wed 24th Oct @ 19.00UTC. Speaking of MOTU, there will also be a MOTU Q+A session on Fri 26th Oct @ 21.00UTC - so you could learn to package and then ask your MOTU questions at that session.

So, what are you waiting for? Go and see the timetable and then see how to attend. I look forward to seeing you all there at Ubuntu Open Week. Oh, and lets spread the word!

Thanks everyone, you rock. :)

Freedode? You mean Freenode?

Could someone possibly log some sessions for me? Due to the Time Zone differences, I'm at work for everything (can't IRC here).

Yes. It would be a wise step.

Yeah, I'm in the same boat. The events start at 8am for me, and end right when I get off of work. ;\ Logs will be the next-best thing, unless in the future more slots in the IRC channel can be filled to make it last longer...? :-D

Yes. Sure it will be better to do so.

I would agree, they should log the sessions. The timing for some of the stuff I want to see is bad for me, as they are very early in the morning when I am at college.
