We have been working to improve IRC based support for Fedora of late, and one of the ideas was to start up some classroom type sessions to teach/show specific things for interested folks. See: <a href="https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/IRC" target="_blank">https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/IRC</a> for more information on IRC. Toward that end, I thought I would post here and see if I can gather a feeling for general interest for the idea and some thoughts about sessions that would be well attended. Feel free to reply directly to me... 1. Would you be interested in attending a classroom session on IRC? 2. What sessions would be of most interest to you? Some examples: a. How to get involved in Fedora b. Pulseaudio and Sound c. Demo's of new Features coming in the next release. d. Basic desktop usage e. How to file a good bugreport in <a href="http://bugzilla.redhat.com" target="_blank">bugzilla.redhat.com</a>. f. How to make a rpm package. g. Upgrading and Reinstalling tips and tricks h. Learn how to Triage bugs i. Selinux and security features. j. iptables and firewalls k. kvm and libvirt tips and tricks. l. Other: please explain. 3. What general times would be good for you to attend a classroom session? Weekends? Weekdays? Weekday evenings in the EDT timezone? 4. Would you be interested in leading a classroom session on some area you know well?

What better opportunity than this to learn more about Fedora? From sample sessions you listed, I would want to attend all of them, I'm interested in all especially new features, making rpm package, bug triage, and finding bugs. Well, I live in canada maritimes (eastern time) and the best time would be weekends at around 4pm. That would be the best option, but I would try to attend the classes on other times. Although as I'm a student, I cannot attend any classes in the mornings. I couldn't be more willing. I have some knowledge of compiling stuff, and basic usage of VCSs (svn & git), and ummm some KDE experience. But yes, if time permits, I'm very willing to lead a classroom!! (and most probably time will permit) Looking forward to attend classes, and that's a brilliant idea by the way! -- Armin <a href="mailto:feng.shaun@gmail.com">feng.shaun@gmail.com</a> "Dare to Dream?" </div>
