To participate, all you have to do is join the #ubuntu-classroom
channel on irc.freenode.net. Sessions start Monday, February 28th,
2011 at 16:00 UTC. The odd hour was chosen to accommodate for as many
people from around the world as possible.

The main channel will be in English, to ensure that the highest number
of people can join, but there will be translations in several
languages for those who aren't comfortable enough with their English
to ask questions. Translations include: German, French, Italian,
Catalan, Finnish, Danish and Spanish.

In only 5 years, Ubuntu has become the most popular Linux-based
operating system in the world with millions of users. Did you ever
wondered how the Ubuntu development works? Do you want to know how to
get involved yourself? You can get more information about Ubuntu
