Lernid 0.4 Released And Demo

by | Tue 5 Jan 2010

I have just released [Lernid](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lernid) 0.4 to the [Lernid Releases PPA](https://edge.launchpad.net/~lernid-devs/+archive/lernid-releases). This release incorporates the final features that I planned out for the first major release, and it is now onto bug fixing in preparation for our first full-scale event that can use Lernid – [Ubuntu Developer Week](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDeveloperWeek).

Many of you are probably curious to see Lernid in action, so tomorrow I will be giving a short presentation (around 20 minutes) to talk about Lernid…using Lernid! I will talk about the project, it’s direction, show off a few features and answer questions.

It will take place at 7pm UTC. To get involved you will need to install and use Lernid to connect. Install it by following these instructions (on Karmic):

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lernid-devs/lernid-releases
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install lernid

When it is installed just do the following:

1. Click *Applications -> Internet -> Lernid* to load Lernid.
2. Select ‘Ubuntu Example Week’ from the *Event* drop-down box and enter a nickname (don’t include spaces in the nickname, this is a known bug).
3. When Lernid loads you will see the session scheduled for tomorrow and what time it is in your local timezone. When it comes to the session time, fire up Lernid: you will see the session happen in the *Classroom* pane.

I am looking forward to showing you all Lernid tomorrow!

An invitation-only accelerator that develops industry-leading community engagement and growth via personalized training, coaching, and accountability...all tailored to your company's needs.

The Impact of One Person

The Impact of One Person

I am 35 years old and *people* never cease to surprise me. My trip home from Los Angeles today was a good example of this. It was a tortuous affair that should have been a quick hop from LA to Oakland, popping on BArt, and then getting home for a cup of tea and an...

Ubuntu Governance: Reboot?

For many years Ubuntu has had a comprehensive governance structure. At the top of the tree are the Community Council (community policy) and the Technical Board (technical policy). Below those boards are sub-councils such as the IRC, Forum, and LoCo councils, and...
