Ubuntu 7.10 Desktop Course

By boredandblogging | Published: 2007-12-20

With the help of community members who slogged over writing, reviewing, editing, proof reading and fixing the layout, the Ubuntu 7.10 Desktop Course is finally available. The 400 page book provides a thorough overview of the Ubuntu Desktop and is a great resource for Linux and Ubuntu newcomers.

This is just the beginning of the project, which will live and evolve with each new Ubuntu release. The community has the power to develop, enhance and branch off as they see fit. The latest version can always be retrieved from the Bazaar repositories.

Mark Shuttleworth also has an interesting post about this release, and where it’s headed.

On Thursday, December 13th, the Kubuntu developers are holding their first ever “Tutorials Day.” The Tutorials Day will contain talks, tutorials, and a Q&A session about the development of Kubuntu.

With KDE4 only a month away, now is the time to get involved in becoming a Kubuntu developer. We’ve set up these IRC sessions below to get you started.

  • 16:00: Kubuntu Bug Triage
  • 16:30: Branch your svn with bzr
  • 17:00: Get programming with PyKDE4
  • 18:00: Get your work into Kubuntu
  • 19:00: Kubuntu and KDE Q&A

For a full run-down of the entire session, head on over to Jonathan Riddell’s blog and read his post, “Kubuntu Tutorials Day.”
