[Ubuntu-Classroom] Fwd: [Ubuntuforums-beginners-education] Ubuntu Community Training Meeting

[Elizabeth Krumbach]

Hey folks,

The purpose Classroom project these days is primarily to seek out
teams and individuals who want to do IRC-based classes, help these
teams develop, promote and schedule these classes, and in general work
on IRC managing the schedule for #ubuntu-classroom. Last year we
discussed hopes of expanding this beyond IRC but have kept things
pretty toned down thus far.

Now the Ubuntu Forums Beginners Team has the momentum to move forward
with the community training that we intended to get to. Since we have
such similar aspirations our teams will be working together, much like
how Classroom worked with the old New User Network. Over the next few
weeks we'll be working with them to see how our projects can help each
other.

Below is an email from the guys heading up the effort on the Ubuntu
Forums Beginners Team end. A meeting will be taking place this weekend
(details below) and I want to encourage anyone in this project who is
interested in furthering the partnership and working on community
training in general to attend.

Hope to see you there!

You are reviving this invitation to participate in the planning of the
community education/training project because you expressed an interest
in some way to the email sent early in the week (or are a member of
the Beginners Team). If you do not wish to be kept up to date I
apologize, please let me know and I will make sure you do not receive
any further emails.

Our mission through this project is to create an interactive learning
environment to support new users becoming more engaged in the Ubuntu
community. Our goal is to take new motivated users and turn them into
contributing members of the community.

We are having a meeting this weekend to create a concrete project
plan, some of the items that will be covered are below:

 * Name of Project
 * Use of the Ubuntu name
 * Training/Education focus
 * Identifying Stakeholders
 * Integrating with the community
 * Developing Online Courseware
 * Project Milestones

The meeting time is UTC Saturday, April 11, 2009 at 21:00:00 in the
#ubuntu-meeting channel and is listed in on the Fridge.  For the time
where you are click here.

We would like to see as many people as possible attending this
meeting, especially from teams currently involved in any sort of
community based training or LoCo based training. If you are aware of
someone that should be involved please pass this invitation on to
them. The result of this meeting should be a public project plan to be
implemented by various elements of the community to create an
interactive training and education environment to support existing
teaching methods.

Lastly, my apologies if you have received this twice for some reason,
multiple mailing lists were used and there is likely to be some
overlap.
