| persia | jcastro, Could you update the topic to point to a more general classroom schedule? | 01:06 |
| persia | pleia2, Do you know of a good URL to use for that? | 01:07 |
| === Guest64524 is now known as jrib | ||
| pleia2 | yeah, wiki.ubuntu.com/Classroom | 01:07 |
| pleia2 | I can snag the old topic, sec | 01:07 |
| persia | The Schedule there probably needs updating too :) I'm guessing DeveloperWeek is in March? | 01:09 |
| === pleia2 changed the topic of #ubuntu-classroom to: Ubuntu Classroom || https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Classroom || https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/Ubuntu-classroom || See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek for details on the most recent Ubuntu Open Week (Intrepid) | ||
| persia | Jaunty MOTU School curriculum hasn't been established yet. | 01:09 |
| pleia2 | yeah, updating the wiki page is on my todo list :( | 01:10 |
| persia | Who's organising the user-training sessions for Jaunty? | 01:10 |
| pleia2 | user-training sessions? | 01:10 |
| persia | Or rather, for Intrepid, as user-training is typically based on current-stable :) | 01:10 |
| pleia2 | the Classroom project itself unfortunately doesn't have anything planned | 01:11 |
| pleia2 | right now this channel is primarily used for open week, developers week, and motu school | 01:11 |
| pleia2 | trying to get user training courses up again, but I've been busy and we lost of a few key team members | 01:11 |
| persia | Do you already have someone in charge of organising the curriculum? | 01:12 |
| pleia2 | nope | 01:12 |
| pleia2 | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Classroom/Volunteer | 01:12 |
| persia | Right. Thanks for the status update :) | 01:13 |
| pleia2 | welcome | 01:13 |
| PrivateVoid | hey pleia2 how are you? | 01:26 |
| pleia2 | PrivateVoid: doing pretty good :) you? | 01:26 |
| * pleia2 just recently moved, still settling in | 01:26 | |
| PrivateVoid | I am good... been a while since I have seen this room go 'red' | 01:26 |
| pleia2 | hehe | 01:26 |
| pleia2 | well there was Ubuntu Open Week all last week ;) | 01:26 |
| pleia2 | but yeah, otherwise it's been quiet | 01:26 |
| PrivateVoid | I think the Beginners team will be looking to 'add' some stuff here eventually | 01:27 |
| pleia2 | yeah, I've been talking to Rocket2DMn some about that | 01:27 |
| pleia2 | we had lunch a few weeks ago :) | 01:27 |
| PrivateVoid | Cool... I do not think I am close enough to have lunch with you | 01:27 |
| pleia2 | probably not | 01:27 |
| pleia2 | he just moved into the area, I took it upon myself to introduce him to yummy local beer places | 01:27 |
| * pleia2 near Philadelphia | 01:28 | |
| PrivateVoid | I am in Rochester, NY area | 01:28 |
| pleia2 | I lived there once :) | 01:28 |
| PrivateVoid | cool... | 01:28 |
| PrivateVoid | where? | 01:28 |
| pleia2 | my mother grew up just outside or Rochester, in Rome, I still have a lot of family there | 01:28 |
| pleia2 | lived in Brockport for a while | 01:28 |
| PrivateVoid | Rome is more towards Syracuse... where I grew up | 01:29 |
| pleia2 | Scottsville?? I think is where I lived last | 01:29 |
| PrivateVoid | Brockport and Scottsville is near Rochester | 01:29 |
| pleia2 | yeah, scottsville | 01:29 |
| PrivateVoid | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BeginnersTeam/FocusGroups/Education | 01:29 |
| pleia2 | and spent a couple years in Seneca Falls (that's about halfway between Rochester and Syracuse) | 01:29 |
| PrivateVoid | I am going to try to get that group going... have them run the courses in our area and then have them come in to here... or that is the plan | 01:30 |
| PrivateVoid | yeah Seneca Falls is half-way | 01:30 |
| pleia2 | having them come here would be good | 01:30 |
| PrivateVoid | and used to have a weapons depot there with lots of 'white deer' | 01:30 |
| pleia2 | part of what Classroom tries to achieve is have one centralized place in ubuntu for all irc classes | 01:30 |
| pleia2 | so when it's announced on fridge, UWN, etc - everyone knows were to come :) | 01:30 |
| PrivateVoid | I want them to practice in the BT classroom... to get comfortable with the method of instruction | 01:31 |
| PrivateVoid | Cool... | 01:31 |
| pleia2 | so MOTU School is here | 01:31 |
| PrivateVoid | do you guys recommend using any other tools beyond IRC for classes? | 01:31 |
| pleia2 | when Ubuntu Women does classes, we host them here | 01:31 |
| PrivateVoid | I need to get better at development... | 01:31 |
| PrivateVoid | great | 01:31 |
| PrivateVoid | I think the BT classes are in here... | 01:32 |
| pleia2 | in the past we haven't had people use many other tools, but sometimes people have wiki pages w/ screenshots and such | 01:32 |
| PrivateVoid | anyone ever try google docs or pastebin? | 01:32 |
| pleia2 | I think pastebin might have been used in the past, but the trouble with that is they go away - logs of sessions lacking key access to google docs or missing pastebins are sad | 01:32 |
| pleia2 | and frustrating :) | 01:33 |
| PrivateVoid | yeah... I would just want to use it for 'programming' courses -- problems and answers type thing | 01:33 |
| pleia2 | would be worth discussing I think | 01:33 |
| PrivateVoid | yeah... | 01:33 |
| pleia2 | I don't have any ideas off the top of my head, but I'm sure others would | 01:34 |
| PrivateVoid | I am knee deep in getting involved in the NY Loco right now and getting the Education group standing up | 01:34 |
| PrivateVoid | just redid the NY Loco wiki front page - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NewYorkTeam | 01:34 |
| pleia2 | nice :) I've been talking to ausimage some | 01:35 |
| PrivateVoid | yeah ausimage is a good guy... I met him recently for the first time... | 01:35 |
| PrivateVoid | the scribs team is a great idea... | 01:35 |
| PrivateVoid | was he talking about running classes? | 01:36 |
| pleia2 | nah, I was talking to him about loco teams | 01:36 |
| PrivateVoid | ah.... | 01:36 |
| PrivateVoid | what about? | 01:36 |
| pleia2 | I'm on the US Mentors team, such as it is these days :) | 01:36 |
| PrivateVoid | what is that? | 01:36 |
| pleia2 | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/USTeams | 01:37 |
| pleia2 | mostly we're just a resource for US Teams who need help | 01:37 |
| PrivateVoid | I see... | 01:38 |
| PrivateVoid | well I think we need help... a bit... to get us over the 'hump' to approval | 01:38 |
| PrivateVoid | but I am hoping that my enthusiasm has re-energized ausimage and brian... | 01:39 |
| * pleia2 nods | 01:39 | |
| PrivateVoid | they seemed to be excited about things after I talked to them | 01:39 |
| pleia2 | well you're welcome to join #ubuntu-us at any time if you run into anything you're not sure how to handle | 01:39 |
| pleia2 | lots of helpful people there with ideas | 01:39 |
| PrivateVoid | I am trying to use my past 'gaming' experiences to assist with this process... I played two MMORPGs and built two guilds | 01:40 |
| pleia2 | nice :) | 01:40 |
| PrivateVoid | both guilds ended up being some of the largest in the games | 01:40 |
| PrivateVoid | and the challenge of keeping people together in a LoCo appear to be similar in that in some cases face-to-face meetings will be near impossible or at best rare | 01:40 |
| pleia2 | in pennsylvania we're all just very active on IRC | 01:42 |
| pleia2 | our channel is rarely dead | 01:42 |
| PrivateVoid | thanks for the invite ti #ubuntu-us I will make sure to get it in place | 01:42 |
| pleia2 | quite welcome :) | 01:42 |
| PrivateVoid | yeah... NYs channel was dead until recently | 01:42 |
| PrivateVoid | I need to get that place hopping | 01:42 |
| PrivateVoid | like the BT teams or Arizona's | 01:42 |
| * pleia2 nods | 01:43 | |
| pleia2 | I was in the beginners team channel for a while, I think I quit when I rebooted once.. oops | 01:43 |
| pleia2 | I do want to strongly encourage using this channel rather than your own -classroom though :) | 01:44 |
| PrivateVoid | I also think, and told ausimage, that there are two main 'flow patterns' for a state LoCo | 01:44 |
| pleia2 | don't worry too much about people practicing, most folks who give normal classes in the past really are just normal folks who know something they can share with others | 01:44 |
| PrivateVoid | upstream - helping to get NY Ubuntu users contributing to the global community | 01:44 |
| PrivateVoid | downstream - advocating for the use of Ubuntu to our local communities | 01:45 |
| * pleia2 nods | 01:45 | |
| PrivateVoid | Cool... then I will plan on having the classes here... is there a system for reserving the time? | 01:45 |
| pleia2 | just drop a note to the mailing list | 01:46 |
| pleia2 | https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/Ubuntu-classroom | 01:46 |
| pleia2 | I'll update the wiki and let you know if there are any conflicts (not a risk right now, it's been pretty quiet of late, as you know!) | 01:46 |
| * pleia2 bumps updating of wiki in general to higher priority on todo list | 01:47 | |
| PrivateVoid | subscribed | 01:49 |
