The time, translated into a bunch of time zones: <a href="http://timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?month=11&day=18&year=2010&hour=20&min=0&sec=0&p1=0" target="_blank">http://timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?month=11&day=18&year=2010&hour=20&min=0&sec=0&p1=0</a> So in Vancouver that's noon on Thursday. These classes are online, in a text-based chat. There are a couple of guides that can help you connect to IRC, this screencast shows a way to do it via a default ubuntu install: <a href="http://screencasts.ubuntu.com/2010/11/08/HowToConnectIRC" target="_blank">http://screencasts.ubuntu.com/2010/11/08/HowToConnectIRC</a> The instructions here have you connect to "Freenode" but you'll want to connect to "OFTC" instead and the channel you want to join is #debian-women I also wrote this a couple years ago, but it's in desperate need of a rewrite: <a href="http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/Courses/IRC/XChatHowTo" target="_blank">http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/Courses/IRC/XChatHowTo</a> Again, this shows how to connect to "Freenode" but for these classes you'll want to connect to "OFTC" instead. If you still have trouble, please don't hesitate email or to use this link to join us in #ubuntu-women and someone can help you out: <a href="http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=ubuntu-women" target="_blank">http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=ubuntu-women</a> Just put in your nickname, fill in the captcha and hit "connect" - this will put you in the #ubuntu-women chat room where you can start talking to us :) -- <div><div></div><div class="h5">Elizabeth Krumbach // Lyz // pleia2 <a href="http://www.princessleia.com" target="_blank">http://www.princessleia.com</a> -- Ubuntu-Women mailing list <a href="mailto:Ubuntu-Women@lists.ubuntu.com">Ubuntu-Women@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-women" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-women</a> </div></div></blockquote></div>
