The idea of '''''The Classroom''''' is to host a biweekly tutorial session on the Freenode IRC server in the #ubuntu-classroom channel. The tutorials will cover information for Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Xubuntu users. '''''The Classroom''''' will attempt to have sessions for all levels of expertise, from beginner to advanced. These sessions are hosted on the first and third weekend of each month, starting at listed times. The first session was August 5th, 2006. These sessions will be instructed by members of the Ubuntu community and have no set time limit, but should last about an hour.[[BR]][[BR]] |

IRC Channel
The Ubuntu community is currently utilizing the freenode servers for IRC. If you are going to join a session, the channel to use is #ubuntu-classroom.

To connect to the IRC server, use the following information:
Server: irc.ubuntu.com
Port: 8001
Once connected to the server type /join #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 for support.
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 may 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 the class is moderated, questions can be asked in #ubuntu-classroom-chat. The proper way to ask a question in #ubuntu-classroom-chat is: QUESTION: Type your question here. Further instructions will be given at the beginning of each class.
See the Ubuntu Classroom Guidelines for more details.
Logs/Transcripts
The classroom sessions are recorded, along with all the Ubuntu related IRC logs at Ubuntu IRC logs. To find the transcript you want you must know the date of the event as the logs are stored by date.
