Ubuntu Community Week is Coming!

As many of you know, we've announced "Ubuntu Community Week" July 18
thru July 22nd 2011. The event outline is available on the wiki
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuCommunityWeek, and a draft schedule of
topics and presenters will soon be announced. This is where you come
in!

Are you a "mover and shaker" in an Ubuntu community? Do you help
organize events, presentations? Do you help spread Ubuntu where you
live? Do you have sage advice for others to help them along their
journey to building stronger communities or just to get more involved?

This is an open call for presenters that can help with any of the
scenarios described below. The idea behind the event is to help people
engage with their Ubuntu community, to catalyze Ubuntu community
growth, and to help make existing Ubuntu communities even better.

So, if you have sage advice for any or all of the people described
below, you can help!

Please send me <randall at executiv.es> a brief outline of your
presentation (3 or 4 sentences is enough) and let's get started!

Thanks!
Randall

Use Case #1
Elizabeth is using a proprietary operating system from Redmond. She's
considering trying Ubuntu.

   Where can I get an Ubuntu CD?
   What happens if I get stuck?
   What is the least intimidating way to meet my community?
   I don't run Ubuntu, should I even be thinking about joining?

Use Case #2
Sid is a new Ubuntu user. Someone gave him an Ubuntu CD and he's installed it.

   What is a local community, and why should I care?
   How can I find my local community? Where do I start?
   Am I expected to contribute?

Use Case #3
Jeremy has been participating in community events as an attendee, but
not organizing/creating or presenting.

   Why should I get involved?
   What should I consider before "taking the plunge"?
   My community isn't really to my liking. What should I do?
   I want to evangelize Ubuntu and get others excited about it. How can I do it?

Use Case #4
John is in a town with no findable Ubuntu community. He's thinking of
starting one.

   How can I start an Ubuntu community?
   What should be the mission?
   Am I the right person for the job?


Use Case #4
Joe is running (or helping to run) a local community

   How can I increase the findability of my local community?
   What are some events I should consider organizing?
   How can I find space for my events?
   How will I fund my events?
   Where will I locate my events?
   What events would make my community want to attend more often?
   What does my community need the most?
   Should I get my community approved? What's in it for us? And,
what's involved?
   I'm feeling overwhelmed. What should I do?

Use Case #5
Eric used to be part of an Ubuntu community but that was a couple
years ago. Now he's involved in other projects.

   Should I reconsider joining my community?
   What would be different this time around if I did?
   Is Ubuntu even relevant any more?
