Community Question Time

Got any questions about K/Ubuntu that have been burning inside you, but you have never known who to ask? Now we’ve managed to secure a regular slot with Canonical’s Ubuntu Community Manager.

Following from the great success of the Ubuntu Open Week question sessions, mister Jono Bacon will now be having a regular date, once a month for Community Question Time.

There will be a one-hour time limit, so it’ll definitely be a case of quick-fire to ensure that as many people get their questions in and their answers out! To join in the fun you’ll need to get on to IRC and join #ubuntu-meeting to watch the conversation develop.

If you’re also also wanting to ask questions, then here’s how; also join #ubuntu-meeting-questions and prefix what you’re wanting to know with QUESTION. It should look something like this:

  • <choclover> QUESTION: Will the next release of Ubuntu come with free chocolate?

Look forward to seeing you all there, there will be plenty of room for everybody!
