Ubuntu Trivia

The Ubuntu Trivia IRC channel is a place for testing your Ubuntu brain power and having fun! We'll schedule themed quizzes to test your knowledge of your favorite operating system (Ubuntu, of course!) and keep you exercising those cranial muscles.

Each week, one of the quizmasters write a quiz. The game happens in the #ubuntu-trivia channel, on FreeNode. There is a bot for compiling the result, but it's the quizmaster that decide if an answer is good or not. The winner of the each quiz will be announced in the channel topic until a new winner is declared.

Ten points are given for winning a quiz and five for giving one.

Requests For Improvement

Add suggestions here.

• <dougsko> i like the programming algorithm questions, but i dont like it when theyre language specific

• <anto9us> more acronyms and points should be allocated for comedy answers

• <anto9us> programming should be classed as advanced category of question and should not dominate the quiz too much

• PeteRyland Can the questions from previous quizzes be made available please? Or is the plan to re-use them?

  • -- AlexandreVassalotti: I will make the quizzes' questions public, but right now I don't know how. You can browse http://peadrop.com/trivia for the first quizzes we had.

• <baconbacon> The bot needs an announce feature. We can't hang around #ubuntu-trivia all the time

  • -- AlexandreVassalotti: This will be taken care as soon I find a place to host the bot.
