[HacktionLab] Getting in the mood for HacktionLab: debian packaging training on IRC tonight!

[mark]

Hi,

Some of us might be interested in this IRC event tonight:

http://www.debian.org/News/2010/20101116a

The Debian Women project is pleased to announce the forthcoming start of
a series of training sessions which will be held on IRC by experienced
community members. The main goal of this initiative is to encourage more
people, and specifically women, to contribute to Debian while
introducing them to different aspects of the Debian Project. Topics will
span over a wide range of subjects related to daily Debian maintenance
efforts as well as advanced tasks. These sessions are organized by the
Debian Women project on its IRC channel (#debian-women on
irc.debian.org) and are open to everybody, regardless of gender or
previous involvements in the community.

First session has been scheduled for Thursday, 18th November at 20:00
UTC. Lars Wirzenius, a long-standing Debian Developer, will give an
introductory lesson titled Introduction to Debian Packaging.

Future sessions will be held on a regular basis, and will cover
collaborative maintenance with Git, Python modules and applications
packaging, and many more. Please visit the official wiki page regularly
to check the up-to-date agenda and follow our group on identi.ca. You
may also refer to the wiki to suggest new topics or sign up yourself as
a trainer: we are always looking for more people to share knowledge and
complete the schedule, so don't be shy!
