Ãœber Ubuntu Open Week Update

by | Wed 25 Apr 2007

Well, [Ubuntu Open Week](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek) is in full swing, and has been a huge success so far, with nearly 300 excitable people crammed in #ubuntu-classroom on Freenode, sucking in the goodness. Thanks to everyone has who given a session and to everyone for coming along to get involved. I hope you are all enjoying the week so far. 🙂

Now, a few scheduling changes:

* The *Ask Mark* session in which you can probe our fearless leader Mark Shuttleworth in any way you feel he should be probed, conventional or otherwise, is now on **Wed 25th at 18.00 UTC** instead of Fri 27th.
* The *Ubuntu Marketing Team* session is now on **Thu 26th at 20.00 UTC** instead of Wed 25th.
* The *Ubuntu Desktop Team* session is now on **Fri 27th at 17.00 UTC** instead of Thu 26th.

Got it? If UTC just confuses the hell out of you, see [this site](https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedform.html?year=2007&month=4&day=23&hour=15&min=0&sec=0) to figure out when to show up. 🙂

Thanks also to Jeremy Austin-Bardo who has been working on the logs of each of the sessions. On the main [Ubuntu Open Week website](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek) you can see links to the session logs. Thanks Jeremy! 🙂

I hope to see a bunch of you in my Q+A session at 3pm UTC today. Questions about ducks or bottle dancing may be ignored. 😛
