I'm still looking for a couple of presenters. In the spirit of "teach
somebody how to fish", it'd be great if you could spare 30 minutes or an
hour to help train our next generation of Ubuntu developers.

After realising that a couple more hands-on sessions would be great,
both in terms of little amount of preparation and impact, this is what
we came up with after some brainstorming:

 - how to fix a bug: general session, show a bug report, explain how
   to get the source, find the error and produce a merge proposal
 - discuss bug fixes: show initial bug reports, discuss parts of the
   patch that fixed the problem (we could do this for hours and it
   wouldn't get old)
 - integrating an upstream fix: show Ubuntu bug, find upstream fix,
   integrate it (either by updating to a new version, cherry-picking
   or syncing/merging from Debian) (this wouldn't get old after hours
   either)
 - forwarding bugs upstream: go through some of our main upstreams
 - demo pbuilder or sbuild
 - writing good changelog entries (30m session maybe?)
 - general bug lifecycle
 - finding stuff in Launchpad

I'd trust that a lot of you could do these sessions with little
preparation. :-)

Thanks a lot in advance. Please let me know very soon if you'd be available:

Have a great day,
