Ubuntu Open Week
Ubuntu Open Week, a week of IRC presentations by various members of the Ubuntu community, is finishing up today. For those of you who were unable to attend the sessions, you will be glad to know that logs of the meetings are available for you to read. The sessions were very informative, so I would definitely encourage everyone to check them out. Particularly if you are new to the Ubuntu community, you might want to check out some of the following sessions:
One session many people may be interested in is the Community Q+A which consisted of various questions about Ubuntu and the Ubuntu community. Although it is not very in depth, it is an interesting read.
Another session that should interest almost any Ubuntu user is “The Future of the Ubuntu Desktop.” Don’t expect screenshots of what Ubuntu will look like in 10 years, but you might get some idea of what the desktop team is thinking about in terms of Ubuntu in 10 years.
For those of you who are interested in helping out Ubuntu, you might want to check out the session on reporting bugs, which can be tricky at first, but easy once you get the hang of it, the session on triaging bugs, or the session on packaging. All of these are arranged sort of like a tutorial.
Finally, if you are interested in a specific project, there are lots of sessions focusing on smaller projects within Ubuntu, such as Ubuntu Mobile Edition, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Ubuntu Server, the Art Team, the Documentation Team, and more.
This is nowhere near all the sessions, so go check out the full listing on the Ubuntu Open Week page.
