In just four years, Ubuntu has become one of the most popular Linux
distributions in the world with millions of users and a thriving community.
Ever wondered what all the fuss is about? How have we achieved such a great
feat in such a short space of time? Here's where you can find out. Ubuntu
Open Week is a week of IRC tuition and Q+A sessions all about getting
involved in the rock-and-roll world that is the Ubuntu community. We
organise this week for the beginning of a new release cycle to help new
contributors get involved.

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
   * Check out our booklet, with the schedule and descriptions of the
sessions

The Timetable

We organised a week long menu of events that touch many different areas of
the Ubuntu community. If you are interested in being a part of the project,
there is sure to be a session for you.
