User Days was created to be a set of chat-based classes offered during a two days period to teach the beginning or intermediate Ubuntu user the basics to get them started with Ubuntu. Sessions this cycle include:

  • Command line made easy
  • Unity: Tips, tricks and configuration
  • Equivalent Applications
  • Finding Support for Ubuntu

You can check the full schedule here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UserDays

The best thing is, everyone can come! If you want to participate, you just need to join #ubuntu-classroom and #ubuntu-classroom-chat on irc.freenode.net in your IRC client, or just click here for browser-based Webchat.

We hope to see you next weekend!
