ibuclawbodhi_zazen, so what type of recruiting is there at this current time ? :)01:01
ibuclawas I mentioned briefly in the meeting, I have the next fortnight or so free, so I could draft something up.01:02
pleia2hey ibuclaw :)01:03
ibuclawhey pleia201:04
pleia2ibuclaw: have you seen doctormo's courses?01:04
ibuclawI don't think I have01:05
pleia2https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Learning/SystemAdminTopics01:05
pleia2scroll down to Background Topics, the first 3 are there (say "Done") after them01:05
pleia2under Classroom Topics there are several more01:06
pleia2so that could give you some idea what we're shooting for course-wise01:06
pleia2we have someone else writing up our course development course, so in the meantime task-wise I've been asking people instead to review each of the "Topics" and start adding links to good documentation01:07
pleia2so on that same page you'll also see links to, say, "ip tables primer by Bodhi Zazen"01:07
pleia2we want more of such links :) so when the course writer comes along they have great resources to help them write the course there at their fingertips01:08
pleia2if you go to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Learning and scroll down to the bottom you'll see the 5 sections we work with, I gave you the link to the "How to Maintain Ubuntu" section, we need to flesh out all 5 of them01:09
pleia2does this help? :)01:10
ibuclawyes, that does.01:10
ibuclawthanks pleia201:10
pleia2thank you!01:10
swoodypleia2, I'd be really interested in helping out the UCLP, and I noticed that you're named as organizer for 'How to Use Ubuntu' section...01:52
pleia2hooray!01:52
pleia2yeah, I'm writing the introduction which is up in launchpad01:52
swoodyI was curious in what ways I could help out. Are you just looking for ideas/input at this point? Are you looking for people with knowledge to teach classes? ....01:52
pleia2but that is *really* basic "what is ubuntu"01:52
swoodyah, ok01:52
pleia2I just spoke with ibuclaw about what we need, mind if I point you at logs?01:52
swoodynot at all :)01:53
pleia2sec, let me grab01:53
pleia2actually, they won't be up for another 10 minutes01:54
swoodyah, ok. I'm a patient person if you don't want to have to retype it all :)01:54
pleia2http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/267648/01:54
pleia2here we go01:54
pleia2now, you can jump into course writing (both doctormo and I would be thrilled!) but if you want to wait for the how to write a course course, and just do what I describe there for now, that's fine :)01:55
pleia2if you do want to write a course, let us know the topic and adopt it (put your nick near it in the wiki) and we'll show you the bzr repo and so you can see existing source materials and start writing your own based on those01:56
swoodypleia2, Well can I take a brief look at the intro you're writing?01:58
pleia2so far the main target of these is for teaching ubuntu stuff in locos, but I think the material can also be used to conduct #ubuntu-classroom sessions (like for ubuntu open week)01:58
swoodyI'd like to get a better feel for the style of writing you're looking for before I'd take on writing any courses01:59
swoodyah, ok then01:59
pleia2doctormo's courses are what I'm basing mine off of01:59
pleia2mine is up on https://code.launchpad.net/~lyz01:59
pleia2the core branch that doctormo's are in are up... um, lemme find02:00
pleia2https://code.launchpad.net/~doctormo/ubuntu-learning-materials02:00
swoodypleia2, sorry, you'll have to forgive my noobness, but I haven't worked in this manner with LP or with bzr in the past :)02:09
swoodyso you guys may have to fill me in a bit02:09
swoodyand in the meantime, I'll try to help by getting some resources linked to the topics for now02:10
pleia2swoody: no problem! I was totally a bzr noob too :) mostly still am02:10
pleia2doctormo gave me a crash course the other day, I shall find logs of that too02:10
swoodyhaha, well like I say, even Linus Torvalds was a noob once ;)02:11
pleia2this will all be in the "how to write a course" course, eventually02:11
pleia2:)02:11
swoodyah, excellent02:11
pleia2http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2009/08/30/%23ubuntu-learning.html02:11
pleia2ok, this is where doctormo held our hands through doing bzr checkouts of the branches and making our own02:11
pleia2scroll down to 21:50s02:12
swoodypleia2, ah, many thanks :)02:14
swoodywill be doing some reading :)02:14
pleia2let us know if you have questions, I don't want you to get sick of reading and wander off02:14
pleia2I'm happy to answer things I can02:14
pleia2am just pointing to logs because they're thorough :)02:15
swoodypleia2, ok, thanks! I'll be sure to let ya know if I think of anything02:15
swoodyand it's np, I don't mind reading :)02:15
pleia2great, thanks for helping! :)02:15
swoodyit's my pleasure :)02:15
swoodyok, I have to go AFK for a while, but I bookmarked everything you linked me, and I'm going to do some more reading when I get back :)02:23
swoodypleia2, ^02:23
swoodyso thanks again, and I'll talk to you later :)02:23
pleia2ok, later :)02:23

pleia2doctormo: you missed it! both ibuclaw and swoody dropped by to volunteer last night :)16:04
pleia2I got them up to speed16:04
doctormopleia2: Awesome!16:04
doctormoWhat do they want to do?16:04
pleia2ibuclaw seemed to be able to do anything, I think swoody wants to help writing desktop classes16:05
doctormoibuclaw sounds interesting, can they do illustration or writing?16:06
pleia2for now I told him he can work on adding links to resources in the 5 sections16:07
doctormopleia2: Great, now that we have more people, we should set a date for an IRc classroom to teach the first production class?16:22
pleia2doctormo: yeah, like your sysadmin courses?16:23
doctormopleia2: No I was thinking of the "how to write courses" followed by "how to commit and public courses"16:33
pleia2oh ok, even better :)16:33
pleia2any idea how those are coming along? would be nice to have them soon16:34
doctormoIt would16:38
doctormoI may have to write them in the end, but I'll wait until the weekend16:38
swoodyhello everybody :)17:52
pleia2g'day swoody17:58
swoodypleia2, :)17:58
doctormoHey swoody, I hear you here to help18:02
swoodyHello doctormo :)18:02
swoodyYes, I'm interested in lending a hand :)18:03
doctormoswoody: That's great18:03
swoodyhopefully I can be more help than hindrance to you guys ;)18:03
swoodypleia2 sent me the logs where you went over bzr, so I'm trying to get up to speed with how that works18:04
swoodybut I figure in the meantime, I can get some resources linked to the topics for you guys18:04
doctormoswoody: That's the idea, but structure is also important so work on that if you can18:16
=== doctormo_ is now known as doctormo
swoodydoctormo, what exactly did you mean by working on the structure? Are you looking for ideas/suggestions on topics for each section?19:29
=== doctormo_ is now known as doctormo
doctormopleia2: Sent a message to the mailing list about this week's class22:29
pleia2\o/22:30
swoodyah, would Vantrax have to add me to the LP team?23:03
swoodyI just realized I hadn't added myself to the team or mailing list yet23:03
pleia2swoody: I just approved you23:59
