IRC Classroom Sessions
Everyone has some bit of knowledge that they can share with others. Knowledge is a valuable asset and we can improve our community by leveraging the tools we have available for sharing knowledge. The Ubuntu Community Learning Project makes sharing that knowledge with lots of people easy. This post will focus on Ubuntu Classroom. A team that falls under the umbrella of the Ubuntu Community Learning Project.

Ubuntu Classroom, helps organize regular IRC sessions on freenode in the channel #ubuntu-classroom. The topics are diverse and cover Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, from beginner to advanced. These session are instructed by members and teams within the community. People just like you!
This cycle it would be great if we could increase the number of community members giving classes. A couple of points I want to stress is that the Classroom Team has made the process of organizing and giving the class very simple. Additionally, anyone in the community, knowledgeable about a topic, can give a class.
“The fact that I can plant a seed and it becomes a flower, share a bit of knowledge and it becomes another’s, smile at someone and receive a smile in return, are to me continual spiritual exercises.” -Buscaglia, Leo
To get started please have a look at the information on the Ubuntu Classroom Wiki for both the submissions and guidelines pages.

Thanks for this post, Duane! We really made progress in the Maverick cycle in recruiting more folks (and teams) to do classes and I’d love to see this growth continue through Natty.
