[17:40] <G__81> hi everyone i am interested in being part of this team how do i join this team
[17:40] <G__81> and i am willing to take technical sessions for the ubuntu community
[17:41] <G__81> so any contact person for this ?
[17:41] <Mamarok> G__81: check the wiki in the topic
[17:41] <Mamarok> and the mailing list
[17:41] <G__81> so is the ML open for everyone or does it require prior approval ?
[17:42] <G__81> i have been conducting some good sessions in fedora so i thought i could take up some here
[17:42] <pleia2> just join
[17:43] <G__81> and is it possible to take sessions during weekends ?
[17:43] <pleia2> G__81: the wiki page describes where we need volunteers, and how to submit classes
[17:43] <pleia2> the sessions are held whenever the instructers are available
[17:44] <pleia2> so then can be weekends, weekdays, whenever
[17:44] <G__81> oh ok thanks so can the sessions be on linux generally like doing something on Ubuntu for instance learning some kernel stuff etc
[17:44] <G__81> can those be taken up ?
[17:44] <pleia2> hm?
[17:44] <G__81> eg: setting up some simulation environment using ubuntu etc ?
[17:44] <pleia2> you'd like to do a class on that?
[17:45] <G__81> i could and i could also do something on the core kernel too
[17:45] <G__81> and code walkthroughs ..... in the kernel :) make people understand how the system works
[17:46] <G__81> testing up stream kernels .....etc
[17:46] <pleia2> ok, the wiki explains how to submit your class outlines, under the "submissions" link
[17:46] <G__81> i have done quite a few in fedora and they are interested in those so i thought i could do it here too
[17:46] <G__81> if you feel these are permissible
[17:47] <pleia2> alright :) please follow the submission procedure, preferably with links to the ones you did for fedora
[17:47] <G__81> ok pleia2 let me first subscribe to the list and then will post it :)
[17:47] <pleia2> G__81: great :)
[17:48] <G__81> i am new to Ubuntu community have been a fedora contributor and now thought of contributing to Ubuntu and i also contribute to other Upstream projects
[17:48] <pleia2> cool, we're glad to have you
[17:48] <G__81> i am new to the processes here i was just browsing some pages now and i saw a link in LP Ubuntu Classroom Management and then i came to know that there is something that exists here too
[17:49] <G__81> so became curious to join i first thought some ubuntu based distro or project which targets tools used in classes :)
[17:49] <G__81> seriously :)
[17:49] <pleia2> yeah, in Ubuntu "edubuntu" is the project that does that, primarily
[17:50] <pleia2> we're just IRC-based classes here :)
[17:50] <G__81> yeah i thought there is an other one :D
[17:51] <G__81> one more question do these classes happen once a month ?
[17:51] <G__81> coz thats how its in fedora
[17:51] <pleia2> nah, there are several classes a month by different individuals and teams
[17:51] <pleia2> you can see the schedule on the wiki
[17:51] <G__81> wonderful thats what i want :)
[17:52] <G__81> i have also applied for the LP class management
[17:52] <pleia2> ah, that one is actually a closed team for those of us coordinating the schedule
[17:52] <G__81> oh sorry didnt know that
[17:52] <pleia2> no problem :)
[17:52] <G__81> i thought its for everyone
[17:53] <G__81> but i am willing to coordinate it too :)
[17:53] <G__81> if you want me to :)
[17:53] <pleia2> nah, just management
[17:53] <G__81> oh
[17:53] <G__81> ok
[17:53] <pleia2> cool, get involved and we might bring you on board :)
[17:55] <G__81> pleia2 sorry to bother you one more question
[17:55] <pleia2> no bother, ask away :)
[17:55] <G__81> whats the strength that attends sessions
[17:56] <pleia2> strength? how many people?
[17:56] <G__81> yes
[17:56] <pleia2> depends on the topic
[17:56] <pleia2> could be just two people show up, could be a dozen or more
[17:56] <G__81> ok but how do ppl know that i am gonna take a session
[17:56] <G__81> coz there are many LUGs how does the message get reached
[17:56] <G__81> ?
[17:57] <pleia2> we post about it to the classroom mailing list, advertise in ubuntu weekly news, put it on the fridge calendar

[17:58] <pleia2> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Classroom/Submissions
[17:58] <pleia2> you don't just add yourself to the wki :)
[17:59] <G__81> oh good you told me i thought of editing the wiki and adding it to the wiki :) so i will have to send an email to the list right ?
[18:00] <pleia2> if you're part of a trusted team or you've done classes for us in the past, it's fine to add yourself, but since you're a new instructor we'll need to have a look at your propsal and notes
[18:00] <pleia2> can't just have anyone coming in here and teaching random things to people ;) we want some quality control
[18:00] <pleia2> so yes, follow the Submissions guidelines above, it tells you what you need to mail to the list
[18:00] <G__81> hmmm...... good so now should i send an intro mail to the list first and then add this or how is it done
[18:01] <pleia2> that link tells you what to do
[18:07] <G__81> so can i give links to my previous sessions ?
[18:08] <pleia2> G__81: yep, include them in your submission
[18:08] <G__81> dates are not required thats what the wiki says
[18:09] <pleia2> once we review your submission we an discuss when you want to host your classes
[18:09] <pleia2> s/an/can
