Fwd: [ubuntu-za] Ubuntu Hour: make your own - instructions

[David Rubin]

Hi

This was sent to our loco team but I do think that others on this list
might benefit from Maia's instructions since I think she is one of the
few people to host Ubuntu Hours cross cites :)

Hope this helps others.

David

We had a great time at the Ubuntu Hour in Pretoria

Here are the instructions if you also want to start having one: (sorry
if you get this info twice Jason, I fixed the links though)

it's really easy.

1. pick a place and time and let everybody know
All you need to do is pick a venue and a time. Then you add it to some
websites[1][2] and or add a facebook event to the ubuntu-za group. you
can also tweet it. To add events to the websites, you need a launchpad
login and I think you need to be a member of the ubuntu-za team on
launchpad. For the facebook group event, you can email me and I can
add it, I am not sure how the admin rights work there.

2. be there at the event
Then you pitch up at the venue. You don't need a laptop. I like to go
to a coffee shop because then it is easy to hang around there and
people can pitch up when they like. You should actually have an ubuntu
logo visible somewhere and be prepared to act according to the code of
conduct. Read more about it here[3]

I have found that to make it a regular occurance, say once a month
works well. We tend to move the venue around a bit, but see what your
local community wants to do.

3. record the event
Lastly take some pics, blog about it and update the monthly report so
we can use it to prove that we are an active loco when the time comes
for re-approval.[4]

That's it, easy.

Let me know if you get stuck with any of the steps.
