Ubuntu Community Week is Coming!
As many of you know, we've announced "Ubuntu Community Week" July 18
thru July 22nd 2011. The event outline is available on the wiki
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuCommunityWeek, and a draft schedule of
topics and presenters will soon be announced. This is where you come in!
Are you a "mover and shaker" in an Ubuntu community? Do you help
organize events, presentations? Do you help spread Ubuntu where you
live? Do you have sage advice for others to help them along their
journey to building stronger communities or just to get more involved?
This is an open call for presenters that can help with any of the
scenarios described below. The idea behind the event is to help people
engage with their Ubuntu community, to catalyze Ubuntu community growth,
and to help make existing Ubuntu communities even better.
So, if you have sage advice for any or all of the people described
below, you can help!
Please send me <
[hidden email]> a brief outline of your
presentation (3 or 4 sentences is enough) and let's get started!
Thanks!
