2014 is going to be a great year for Ubuntu App Developers. We laid down some fantastic foundations in 2013, but this year we want to extend and grow our community in multiple directions…building a solid, empowered on-ramp for creating awesome apps for Ubuntu.
…but we can’t do this alone, we need your help!
One effort here is to work with our fantastic [LoCo Team Community](https://loco.ubuntu.com) to run a series of Ubuntu App Developer schools across the world. We have one of the greatest advocacy communities anywhere, so this seems like a perfect match.
Fortunately, David Planella has already created some awesome slides and a good tutorial that these schools can work from (he did this for a previous event), and we are here to help provide help and guidance about how to run an event.
As such, we are looking for volunteers to run a local Ubuntu App Dev school in your area. Doing this is as simple as:
* Find a place to run an event and pick a date when to run it.
* Find some other folks in your LoCo who would be interested in helping.
* Get the material and tune it for your event if needed.
* Promote the event locally and encourage people to join.
* Practice the material a few times before the big day, then show up, run the class and have fun.
* Take lots of pictures!
The last step is really important as we would like to create a montage of the events. 🙂
So, if you are interested in participating, send me an email to [email protected] and mention which LoCo team you are part of and where you would run the event, and lets make the magic happen!
