Well,

very quickly, what do all wish me to concentrate upon?

My view is where we came on from and our rasion d'etre

There still seems to be an issue between
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation,
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ ,
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu#Downloading
Lubuntu and the information on http://lubuntu.net/

A new comer to Lubuntu cares not about which area has the up to date
information. All that matters to them is that we do not get one set of
information on lubuntu.net that is not in synch with the other and, vice
versa.

Whatever Lubuntu area is chosen for the most up to date information is THE
area, all others feed off it.

I know that I am awaiting for the build system to be finalised, I can and
will happily explain that we are awaiting.

It was nice to be asked from the Lubuntu area to make a presentation to
everyone. We have enough time (well, about 10 days). Please do shout and
scream at me.

Regards,

Phill.

Hello everybody,

first of all: thank you very much for agreeing to give a session at this
cycle's Ubuntu Developer Week! UDW would be nothing without you.

Please forward this message to people who will give the session together
with you, so they know what's going on and who to ask for help if necessary.

We are going to announce the event either today or tomorrow and there is
only very little for you to do until then (apart from preparing a few
bits for your session... :-)).


You might have heard of Lernid already. Think of it as a great way to
join into learning events on IRC. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lernid has
more info about it. We will advertise this as a good way for new people
to join UDW. The great thing is that they don't have to bother with IRC
and stuff, but also that links you mention automatically are opened in a
webpage pane and that if you decide to use slides (in .pdf format), you
can demo them too.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lernid/Session%20Leaders has more info about how
to do that. If you want your presentation to be available for the event,
either send me a link to it or the presentation itself.


https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDeveloperWeek is the final schedule and I
just set up https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDeveloperWeek/Sessions where
you can ask the attendants of your sessions to prepare themselves, if
necessary. Also describe what the session is about. Please update the
page accordingly.

For those of you who have not participated in an Ubuntu Developer Week
before, this is roughly how it works:

 - Sessions are held in #ubuntu-classroom on irc.freenode.net. It will
  almost exclusively you speaking in there. Please try to finish your
  session in time for the next session.
 - Some sessions in the past had ~400 attendants, so to keep the session
  log readable and understandable, we ask attendants to ask their
  questions in #ubuntu-classroom-chat. We will have a bot in the chat
  channel who can relay questions easily. Check out
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Classroom/ClassBot for more info.
 - Session logs will be made available afterwards on
  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDeveloperWeek
 - We will have translators available in channels like
  #ubuntu-classroom-chat-ca, #ubuntu-classroom-chat-de, etc. who will
  translate and relay questions to #ubuntu-classroom-chat for those who
  are not confident enough in their English.

Please help out spreading the news about it once it is announced!

You all rock! If you have any more questions, please let me know.

Have a great day,
 Daniel
