Aloha,
so we are sure we would like to take part in the Ubuntu community event,
yes.
but how best we can do this need to be worked out. Perhaps we can forumate
it a bit better with some structure.
for example!
Saturdary 10am
Introduction to Launchpad
11am triaging bugs break into groups of 2-3 people
12 pm Logging bugs ? again in groups
1pm lunch
2pm a few short talks - if we team up with other groups perhaps we can have
lighning talks
3pm work on your own for a bit on projects, wiki tidying up, documentaion,
proof reading, translations , help someone with their project
5pm something
Sunday switch it up
again if we invite other projects to take part in the day we can learn more
and they can also help us with Ubuntu.
Laura
