=== PrivateVoid_ is now known as PrivateVoid === jrib is now known as Guest64524 [01:05] :/ [01:06] jcastro, Could you update the topic to point to a more general classroom schedule? [01:07] pleia2, Do you know of a good URL to use for that? === Guest64524 is now known as jrib [01:07] yeah, wiki.ubuntu.com/Classroom [01:07] I can snag the old topic, sec [01:09] The Schedule there probably needs updating too :) I'm guessing DeveloperWeek is in March? === 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) [01:09] Jaunty MOTU School curriculum hasn't been established yet. [01:10] yeah, updating the wiki page is on my todo list :( [01:10] Who's organising the user-training sessions for Jaunty? [01:10] user-training sessions? [01:10] Or rather, for Intrepid, as user-training is typically based on current-stable :) [01:11] the Classroom project itself unfortunately doesn't have anything planned [01:11] right now this channel is primarily used for open week, developers week, and motu school [01:11] trying to get user training courses up again, but I've been busy and we lost of a few key team members [01:12] Do you already have someone in charge of organising the curriculum? [01:12] nope [01:12] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Classroom/Volunteer [01:13] Right. Thanks for the status update :) [01:13] welcome [01:26] hey pleia2 how are you? [01:26] PrivateVoid: doing pretty good :) you? [01:26] * pleia2 just recently moved, still settling in [01:26] I am good... been a while since I have seen this room go 'red' [01:26] hehe [01:26] well there was Ubuntu Open Week all last week ;) [01:26] but yeah, otherwise it's been quiet [01:27] I think the Beginners team will be looking to 'add' some stuff here eventually [01:27] yeah, I've been talking to Rocket2DMn some about that [01:27] we had lunch a few weeks ago :) [01:27] Cool... I do not think I am close enough to have lunch with you [01:27] probably not [01:27] he just moved into the area, I took it upon myself to introduce him to yummy local beer places [01:28] * pleia2 near Philadelphia [01:28] I am in Rochester, NY area [01:28] I lived there once :) [01:28] cool... [01:28] where? [01:28] my mother grew up just outside or Rochester, in Rome, I still have a lot of family there [01:28] lived in Brockport for a while [01:29] Rome is more towards Syracuse... where I grew up [01:29] Scottsville?? I think is where I lived last [01:29] Brockport and Scottsville is near Rochester [01:29] yeah, scottsville [01:29] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BeginnersTeam/FocusGroups/Education [01:29] and spent a couple years in Seneca Falls (that's about halfway between Rochester and Syracuse) [01:30] 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] yeah Seneca Falls is half-way [01:30] having them come here would be good [01:30] and used to have a weapons depot there with lots of 'white deer' [01:30] part of what Classroom tries to achieve is have one centralized place in ubuntu for all irc classes [01:30] so when it's announced on fridge, UWN, etc - everyone knows were to come :) [01:31] I want them to practice in the BT classroom... to get comfortable with the method of instruction [01:31] Cool... [01:31] so MOTU School is here [01:31] do you guys recommend using any other tools beyond IRC for classes? [01:31] when Ubuntu Women does classes, we host them here [01:31] I need to get better at development... [01:31] great [01:32] I think the BT classes are in here... [01:32] in the past we haven't had people use many other tools, but sometimes people have wiki pages w/ screenshots and such [01:32] anyone ever try google docs or pastebin? [01:32] 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 [01:33] and frustrating :) [01:33] yeah... I would just want to use it for 'programming' courses -- problems and answers type thing [01:33] would be worth discussing I think [01:33] yeah... [01:34] I don't have any ideas off the top of my head, but I'm sure others would [01:34] I am knee deep in getting involved in the NY Loco right now and getting the Education group standing up [01:34] just redid the NY Loco wiki front page - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NewYorkTeam [01:35] nice :) I've been talking to ausimage some [01:35] yeah ausimage is a good guy... I met him recently for the first time... [01:35] the scribs team is a great idea... [01:36] was he talking about running classes? [01:36] nah, I was talking to him about loco teams [01:36] ah.... [01:36] what about? [01:36] I'm on the US Mentors team, such as it is these days :) [01:36] what is that? [01:37] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/USTeams [01:37] mostly we're just a resource for US Teams who need help [01:38] I see... [01:38] well I think we need help... a bit... to get us over the 'hump' to approval [01:39] but I am hoping that my enthusiasm has re-energized ausimage and brian... [01:39] * pleia2 nods [01:39] they seemed to be excited about things after I talked to them [01:39] 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] lots of helpful people there with ideas [01:40] I am trying to use my past 'gaming' experiences to assist with this process... I played two MMORPGs and built two guilds [01:40] nice :) [01:40] both guilds ended up being some of the largest in the games [01:40] 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 [01:42] in pennsylvania we're all just very active on IRC [01:42] our channel is rarely dead [01:42] thanks for the invite ti #ubuntu-us I will make sure to get it in place [01:42] quite welcome :) [01:42] yeah... NYs channel was dead until recently [01:42] I need to get that place hopping [01:42] like the BT teams or Arizona's [01:43] * pleia2 nods [01:43] I was in the beginners team channel for a while, I think I quit when I rebooted once.. oops [01:44] I do want to strongly encourage using this channel rather than your own -classroom though :) [01:44] I also think, and told ausimage, that there are two main 'flow patterns' for a state LoCo [01:44] 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] upstream - helping to get NY Ubuntu users contributing to the global community [01:45] downstream - advocating for the use of Ubuntu to our local communities [01:45] * pleia2 nods [01:45] Cool... then I will plan on having the classes here... is there a system for reserving the time? [01:46] just drop a note to the mailing list [01:46] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/Ubuntu-classroom [01:46] 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!) [01:47] * pleia2 bumps updating of wiki in general to higher priority on todo list [01:49] subscribed [01:50] :) === PrivateVoid_ is now known as PrivateVoid === _jason is now known as jrib [11:47] \help === santiago-ve is now known as Guest66702 === Guest66702 is now known as santiago-ve === Rafik_ is now known as Rafik === PrivateVoid_ is now known as PrivateVoid
