Introduction

The idea of The Classroom is to host a monthly tutorial session on the Freenode IRC server in the #ubuntu-classroom channel. The tutorials will cover information for Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Xubuntu users, primarily on ways in which the user can contribute back to the Ubuntu project. The Classroom will attempt to have sessions for all levels of expertise, from beginner to advanced. These sessions are hosted on the third week of each month, starting at listed times. These sessions will be instructed by members and teams within Ubuntu community and should last about one hour.BRBR

In addition to our regular classes, The Classroom now also hosts UbuntuOpenWeek and regular Q&A sessions for projects within Ubuntu.

Please join the [https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/Ubuntu-classroom Ubuntu-classroom Mailing List] if you're interested in working with this project.

Transcripts

Transcripts of many past classes are available at ClassroomTranscripts .

IRC Server

The Ubuntu community is currently utilizing the [http://www.freenode.net Freenode] servers for IRC. If you are going to join a session, the channel to use is #ubuntu-classroom. If it is your first time using IRC, we ask that you simply review the [:IrcGuidelines:IRC Guidelines]. To connect to the IRC server, use the following information:

  • Server: irc.ubuntu.com

  • Port: 8001

Once connected to the server type /j #ubuntu-classroom to join the classroom channel. #ubuntu-classroom isn't the main support channels, so you can't expect to join it searching for answers, as most of the time it is a ghost towns. We recommend you continue using #ubuntu, #kubuntu, #edubuntu,or #xubuntu.

Classroom Information

The classes will start promptly at the designated times. The classroom will be open briefly in order to provide the members and students the opportunity for brief introductions and instructions. Once the class begins, the channel will become moderated (+m), meaning only instructors and administrators will have speaking privileges. This will insure there are no interruptions, making the class enjoyable for everyone attending. If you have a question, there will be a moderator that will take your questions via a message. You can message the moderator by typing /msg nickname question. Further instructions will be given at the beginning of each class.

Volunteer

The Classroom project is always looking for volunteers. We need help in the following areas:

  • Being an instructor
  • Promotion: submit to fridge, UWN and teams that might be interested in specific topics. The [:Classroom/Marketing:marketing group] has its own page for coordination.

  • Keeping this wiki up to date
  • Posting logs
  • Preparing notes/blog entries of sessions (or encourage instructors to do this), see ClassroomTranscripts for examples

Contact

If you are interested in becoming a member or instructor or interested in seeing a specific class, have remarks on a past class, issues with what was taught, please post to the [https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/Ubuntu-classroom Ubuntu-classroom Mailing List] or check out the [https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-classroom Ubuntu Classroom Management] page for people to contact directly.
