| [01:05] <WastePotato> :/ | |
| [01:06] <persia> jcastro, Could you update the topic to point to a more general classroom schedule? | |
| [01:07] <persia> pleia2, Do you know of a good URL to use for that? | |
| === Guest64524 is now known as jrib | |
| [01:07] <pleia2> yeah, wiki.ubuntu.com/Classroom | |
| [01:07] <pleia2> I can snag the old topic, sec | |
| [01:09] <persia> The Schedule there probably needs updating too :) I'm guessing DeveloperWeek is in March? | |
| === pleia2 changed the topic of #ubuntu-classroom to: Ubuntu Classroom || https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Classroom || https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/Ubuntu-classroom || See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek for details on the most recent Ubuntu Open Week (Intrepid) | |
| [01:09] <persia> Jaunty MOTU School curriculum hasn't been established yet. | |
| [01:10] <pleia2> yeah, updating the wiki page is on my todo list :( | |
| [01:10] <persia> Who's organising the user-training sessions for Jaunty? | |
| [01:10] <pleia2> user-training sessions? | |
| [01:10] <persia> Or rather, for Intrepid, as user-training is typically based on current-stable :) | |
| [01:11] <pleia2> the Classroom project itself unfortunately doesn't have anything planned | |
| [01:11] <pleia2> right now this channel is primarily used for open week, developers week, and motu school | |
| [01:11] <pleia2> trying to get user training courses up again, but I've been busy and we lost of a few key team members | |
| [01:12] <persia> Do you already have someone in charge of organising the curriculum? | |
| [01:12] <pleia2> nope | |
| [01:12] <pleia2> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Classroom/Volunteer | |
| [01:13] <persia> Right. Thanks for the status update :) | |
| [01:13] <pleia2> welcome | |
| [01:26] <PrivateVoid> hey pleia2 how are you? | |
| [01:26] <pleia2> PrivateVoid: doing pretty good :) you? | |
| [01:26] * pleia2 just recently moved, still settling in | |
| [01:26] <PrivateVoid> I am good... been a while since I have seen this room go 'red' | |
| [01:26] <pleia2> hehe | |
| [01:26] <pleia2> well there was Ubuntu Open Week all last week ;) | |
| [01:26] <pleia2> but yeah, otherwise it's been quiet | |
| [01:27] <PrivateVoid> I think the Beginners team will be looking to 'add' some stuff here eventually | |
| [01:27] <pleia2> yeah, I've been talking to Rocket2DMn some about that | |
| [01:27] <pleia2> we had lunch a few weeks ago :) | |
| [01:27] <PrivateVoid> Cool... I do not think I am close enough to have lunch with you | |
| [01:27] <pleia2> probably not | |
| [01:27] <pleia2> he just moved into the area, I took it upon myself to introduce him to yummy local beer places | |
| [01:28] * pleia2 near Philadelphia | |
| [01:28] <PrivateVoid> I am in Rochester, NY area | |
| [01:28] <pleia2> I lived there once :) | |
| [01:28] <PrivateVoid> cool... | |
| [01:28] <PrivateVoid> where? | |
| [01:28] <pleia2> my mother grew up just outside or Rochester, in Rome, I still have a lot of family there | |
| [01:28] <pleia2> lived in Brockport for a while | |
| [01:29] <PrivateVoid> Rome is more towards Syracuse... where I grew up | |
| [01:29] <pleia2> Scottsville?? I think is where I lived last | |
| [01:29] <PrivateVoid> Brockport and Scottsville is near Rochester | |
| [01:29] <pleia2> yeah, scottsville | |
| [01:29] <PrivateVoid> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BeginnersTeam/FocusGroups/Education | |
| [01:29] <pleia2> and spent a couple years in Seneca Falls (that's about halfway between Rochester and Syracuse) | |
| [01:30] <PrivateVoid> I am going to try to get that group going... have them run the courses in our area and then have them come in to here... or that is the plan | |
| [01:30] <PrivateVoid> yeah Seneca Falls is half-way | |
| [01:30] <pleia2> having them come here would be good | |
| [01:30] <PrivateVoid> and used to have a weapons depot there with lots of 'white deer' | |
| [01:30] <pleia2> part of what Classroom tries to achieve is have one centralized place in ubuntu for all irc classes | |
| [01:30] <pleia2> so when it's announced on fridge, UWN, etc - everyone knows were to come :) | |
| [01:31] <PrivateVoid> I want them to practice in the BT classroom... to get comfortable with the method of instruction | |
| [01:31] <PrivateVoid> Cool... | |
| [01:31] <pleia2> so MOTU School is here | |
| [01:31] <PrivateVoid> do you guys recommend using any other tools beyond IRC for classes? | |
| [01:31] <pleia2> when Ubuntu Women does classes, we host them here | |
| [01:31] <PrivateVoid> I need to get better at development... | |
| [01:31] <PrivateVoid> great | |
| [01:32] <PrivateVoid> I think the BT classes are in here... | |
| [01:32] <pleia2> in the past we haven't had people use many other tools, but sometimes people have wiki pages w/ screenshots and such | |
| [01:32] <PrivateVoid> anyone ever try google docs or pastebin? | |
| [01:32] <pleia2> I think pastebin might have been used in the past, but the trouble with that is they go away - logs of sessions lacking key access to google docs or missing pastebins are sad | |
| [01:33] <pleia2> and frustrating :) | |
| [01:33] <PrivateVoid> yeah... I would just want to use it for 'programming' courses -- problems and answers type thing | |
| [01:33] <pleia2> would be worth discussing I think | |
| [01:33] <PrivateVoid> yeah... | |
| [01:34] <pleia2> I don't have any ideas off the top of my head, but I'm sure others would | |
| [01:34] <PrivateVoid> I am knee deep in getting involved in the NY Loco right now and getting the Education group standing up | |
| [01:34] <PrivateVoid> just redid the NY Loco wiki front page - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NewYorkTeam | |
| [01:35] <pleia2> nice :) I've been talking to ausimage some | |
| [01:35] <PrivateVoid> yeah ausimage is a good guy... I met him recently for the first time... | |
| [01:35] <PrivateVoid> the scribs team is a great idea... | |
| [01:36] <PrivateVoid> was he talking about running classes? | |
| [01:36] <pleia2> nah, I was talking to him about loco teams | |
| [01:36] <PrivateVoid> ah.... | |
| [01:36] <PrivateVoid> what about? | |
| [01:36] <pleia2> I'm on the US Mentors team, such as it is these days :) | |
| [01:36] <PrivateVoid> what is that? | |
| [01:37] <pleia2> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/USTeams | |
| [01:37] <pleia2> mostly we're just a resource for US Teams who need help | |
| [01:38] <PrivateVoid> I see... | |
| [01:38] <PrivateVoid> well I think we need help... a bit... to get us over the 'hump' to approval | |
| [01:39] <PrivateVoid> but I am hoping that my enthusiasm has re-energized ausimage and brian... | |
| [01:39] * pleia2 nods | |
| [01:39] <PrivateVoid> they seemed to be excited about things after I talked to them | |
| [01:39] <pleia2> well you're welcome to join #ubuntu-us at any time if you run into anything you're not sure how to handle | |
| [01:39] <pleia2> lots of helpful people there with ideas | |
| [01:40] <PrivateVoid> I am trying to use my past 'gaming' experiences to assist with this process... I played two MMORPGs and built two guilds | |
| [01:40] <pleia2> nice :) | |
| [01:40] <PrivateVoid> both guilds ended up being some of the largest in the games | |
| [01:40] <PrivateVoid> and the challenge of keeping people together in a LoCo appear to be similar in that in some cases face-to-face meetings will be near impossible or at best rare | |
| [01:42] <pleia2> in pennsylvania we're all just very active on IRC | |
| [01:42] <pleia2> our channel is rarely dead | |
| [01:42] <PrivateVoid> thanks for the invite ti #ubuntu-us I will make sure to get it in place | |
| [01:42] <pleia2> quite welcome :) | |
| [01:42] <PrivateVoid> yeah... NYs channel was dead until recently | |
| [01:42] <PrivateVoid> I need to get that place hopping | |
| [01:42] <PrivateVoid> like the BT teams or Arizona's | |
| [01:43] * pleia2 nods | |
| [01:43] <pleia2> I was in the beginners team channel for a while, I think I quit when I rebooted once.. oops | |
| [01:44] <pleia2> I do want to strongly encourage using this channel rather than your own -classroom though :) | |
| [01:44] <PrivateVoid> I also think, and told ausimage, that there are two main 'flow patterns' for a state LoCo | |
| [01:44] <pleia2> don't worry too much about people practicing, most folks who give normal classes in the past really are just normal folks who know something they can share with others | |
| [01:44] <PrivateVoid> upstream - helping to get NY Ubuntu users contributing to the global community | |
| [01:45] <PrivateVoid> downstream - advocating for the use of Ubuntu to our local communities | |
| [01:45] * pleia2 nods | |
| [01:45] <PrivateVoid> Cool... then I will plan on having the classes here... is there a system for reserving the time? | |
| [01:46] <pleia2> just drop a note to the mailing list | |
| [01:46] <pleia2> https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/Ubuntu-classroom | |
| [01:46] <pleia2> I'll update the wiki and let you know if there are any conflicts (not a risk right now, it's been pretty quiet of late, as you know!) | |
| [01:47] * pleia2 bumps updating of wiki in general to higher priority on todo list | |
