[Ubuntu Chicago] Fwd: [Training Support] Ubuntu Desktop Course - Final Input Please

[Jim Campbell]

Hi All,

I thought that something like this might be helpful for the Christian Life
College project - basically, they are putting the finishing touches on a set
of classroom-type training documents for Ubuntu.

I haven't been following the training development too closely, so I don't
know much about the content, but it would be worth checking out once things
get finalized.

 Hi all,

Finally we can release the close to final final draft of the desktop
course which can be downloaded through:
https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~canonical-training/ubuntu-desktop-course/ubuntu-desktop-course-beta
<https://code.edge.launchpad.net/%7Ecanonical-training/ubuntu-desktop-course/ubuntu-desktop-course-beta>
Unfortunately we can not provide a pdf as the file is over 70 Mbs and
and besides, we need any comments to be provided as branches to merge.

Your input at this critical stage is really important, *please  note:*


   - There are 2 files - 1 which makes up an Instructor guide (with
   instructor note + Answers with the questions); 1 which makes up the
   student guide (no instructor notes and answers  NOT with the
   questions). To compile these simply use:


   -

   make book - for Instructor guide

    -

   make booksg - for student guide




   - Would be helpful if everyone tries to read random sections and
   provide feedback - tell others which lesson you are planning on
   working on so that we can try and get someone reading each of the
   lessons.


   - Having said that, would appreciate everybody having a read of Lesson
   1.


   - Lesson 1 and 2 have been merged  - the comparison with Microsoft has
   been moved into lesson 1. Would appreciate specific input on security
   aspects of Ubuntu Vs MS.


   - Looking for critical changes only at this stage - typos or gross
   inaccuracies.


   - Additional final touches on formatting still need to be made so that
   we will have fewer white gaps in pages and the flow of text and images will
   be more 'book like'. This should also reduce the number of pages, hopefully
   to the golden 400 page mark. This will happen next week.

Cut off date for changes is: *Monday 10 th December. *

We want to launch this before the holiday season so time is critical, as
always.

Thank you hugely in advance for your time :)
