<html> <head> <meta content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" http-equiv="Content-Type"> </head> <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#003333"> Earlier this week, I ran a session entitled: "Contributing to Ubuntu at a Local Level: A Roadmap" as part of the ever-popular and inspiring Ubuntu Open Week. This session was for anyone who wants to make a difference and help move the Ubuntu project forward without writing a single line of computer code (unless you want to.) The stated goal of the Ubuntu project is to grow from 20 million users to 200 million users in less that 4 years. The punch line: Find a group in *your* town. Start a group in *your* town. Grow a group in *your* town. Have more fun! How will you know there's an Ubuntu community in your town? Easy! If they are on this list asking tech support questions, they are in your town. Find them. Help them. Do it in person. Posts on a mailing list asking for help are indicative of a broken local community. The much-sought-after and often-controversial session logs are here: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2011/10/17/%23ubuntu-classroom.html#t15:00 I hope you enjoy! And if you were there, I hope you enjoyed :P Cheers, Randall Ubuntu Vancouver Buzz Generator </body> </html>
