Ubuntu Education
The UFBT (Ubuntu Forums Beginners Team) has been collaborating with Ubuntu Classroom and we would like to start offering educational opportunities to the community.
We are proposing IRC sessions focused on specific topics of interest to the community with supporting documentation on the Ubuntu Forums or Ubuntu Wiki. The goal of the IRC sessions is to enable a interactive teaching / learning format where the community can discuss issues and participants have an opportunity for Q&A.
We have some interesting topics we will be offering including packaging, bug reporting / triaging, using Launchpad, how to IRC, and Q&A sessions.
I am going to start with 2 IRC Q&A sessions on Security ( March 19th and March 26th , #ubuntu-classroom on Freenode or Ubuntu Servers , start 00:00 UTC)
For additional information on topics / sessions see :
- UFBT Education Events
- Proposed Topics (Feel free to add to the list, it’s a wiki page)
- Education Focus Group
These sessions are open to all and, as this is new for the Beginners Team, we are open to feedback or suggestions.
Instructors are also welcome. If by chance anyone reading this is interested in running a session please contact us (we are on #ubuntufourms-beginners) or the Ubuntu Classroom.

I have classes that end 45 minutes after these start…but hopefully I can stay for at least half of each session and see some interesting things!

I won’t be able to make it to these sessions since I’ll be away from home for these two weeks – but they sound great and I’m really looking forward to reading the logs afterwards.
And fantastic push for classes in general, the UFBT is really doing great work!
