Most of the work we do is advocacy and education so only a<br> few of us are programmers, sysadmins etc.<br> <br> We had a wonderful talk from Walter Bender a few years back and I fully<br> support the work Sugar labs is doing.<br> <br> I'm a board member for the world wide Ubuntu Learning project, we are<br> attempting to create a community of writers who can produce learning<br> materials which can teach various skills in relation to Ubuntu. I'd<br> appreciate your thoughts on that project.<br> <a href="http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Learning" target="_blank">http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Learning</a><br> <br> We're also doing a session on Tuesday evening and it might be a good<br> opportunity to meet up in person and have a talk afterwards about what<br> our groups are up to. This would be near Coply Sq.
