DocuMentor Program

[Andrew Stabeno]

I think for now I will stick to documentation.  I plan on familiarizing
myself more with the training manuals and learning more about Ubuntu for
now.  I will contact the training team and see what they think, but I will
help out here for now.

Welcome to the team! If you're interested in training users, there are a
couple of projects which you might like to take a look at.

The first is Ubuntu Training [1], which aims to provide training
materials (courses, exams, instructor notes and the like) for Ubuntu.
The second is the Ubuntu Screencast team [2], who produce
freely-available screencasts on various topics.

Alternatively, you could follow the conventional documentation route and
work with us, the Doc Team. In particular, we're involved with writing
system documentation and maintaining the community documentation on the
wiki.

Please let us know if you're interested in any of these options and
we'll help you get started.

Thanks,

Phil
