Translations and App development sessions today at the Ubuntu Open Week

Just a heads up that this week is Ubuntu Open Week!

Ubuntu Open Week is a series of online workshops where you can:

• Learn about the Ubuntu landscape
• Talk to some of the key developers from the Ubuntu project
• Find out about the Community and its relationship with Canonical
• Participate in an open Q&A with Mark Shuttleworth, the founder of Ubuntu. (*)

I’ll be running two sessions for everyone wanting to learn more about either translating Ubuntu or writing apps for Ubuntu (or both!):

• WHERE: #ubuntu-classroom IRC channel on the Freenode network
• WHAT, WHEN:
• 14:00 UTC How to contribute translating Ubuntu – learn how to translate Ubuntu in your language
• 16:00 UTC Writing your first Ubuntu app – a very gentle introduction to writing a simple “Ubuntu rocks!” app, and explaining its lifecycle from creation to publication, with tips along the way.

(*) Mark is on vacation this week, but we’ll schedule a separate IRC session with him, stay tuned!
