Hi classmates :) I'm from a group of latinamerican contributors of Fedora, and we are working from last year on the making of a magazine about Fedora for spanish-speakers (or at least readers)[0]. We are moving our workflow from e-mail and wikis, to more agile tools: project management with Redmine(and maybe Trac), and Git for source control. We are on the beginning of learning Git, so, we are going to host a class on the basics of Git, this next Wednesday on our #fedora-classroom on freenode, at 21:00 UTC. Practical hands-on session, as Kevin Fenzi suggested, instead of booooring conference (as my last class about Redmine :D). We must to do these disclaimers: * I'm not an expert on Git, but i've gained a little bit of experience through collaboration on Docs and L10n projects, and i've managed enough on repo on fedorahosted (on fedorapeople personal repos, too), to drive the workshop, on the basics of cloning a repo, making contributions, and staying synchronized with the work of the team. I'm going to use the most basic commands, and as reference a little bit of chapters 2-3 of "Git Magic" [1] * We are going to drive our class in Spanish, for ease of communication. I'm sorry for people not reading our language, but maybe some commands we are going to run as example, you could follow and share with us your doubts in English (we don't write it so well, but reading yes, so may be we can help you anyway). * In contrast to last class about Redmine, aimed to Latam Ambassadors, and since we didn't reach advanced topics, and everything we talked is covered on the Redmine official guide; This is a tool of interest to other people on Fedora, and we'll translate to English to give you as reference for future (and hopefully more advanced workshops) about Git. * We are going to jump a little bit on Gobby as tool for collaborative writing, but it's only a plus on the class. * Also, the goal is implementing our workflow for writing articles, designing the magazine and so on, in our real repo, so, if you'd like to try with your own fedorapeople repo, it's alright and we can help you, since if you get in trouble, your feedback and finding together the solution, will be useful for everyone attending the class, or reading the logs. * Finally, we are going to use a bunch of graphics trying to give more visual reality of what we are going to do in the commands to type. We will use JessyInk as standard tool, very ease to translate that, since the SVGs can be edited even in a simple text editor. So, i hope this can be useful for you too in a near future. Of course, if you have some knowledge about more advanced topics, we would like a lot to hear from your thoughts and attending your class if you have a spare time to host one.

Re: [fedora-classroom] We are looking for your ideas and suggestions for Fedora Classroom Topics. :)

FYI, i've started a similar quest, and i'd like to share with you: http://blogs.fedoraproject.org/wp/escuela/2010/11/05/where-should-we-begin-… Date: Sat, 15 Jan 2011 01:58:18 -0500 From: David Ramsey <diamond_ramsey(a)hotmail.com> Hello Everyone, Greetings. :) We are looking for your ideas and suggestions for Fedora Classroom Topics. :) ====================================== For example, I am interested in Virtualization, SELinux and System Administration. I think everyone of this is rather difficult to fit into the one-and-a-half hour timeframe for Fedora Classroom's sessions. Maybe a model we could try is what Gleducar southamerican association is running in its "Campus": http://moodle.gleducar.org.ar/ They run several "Self-taught groups" separated in several groups in its moodle. There is one for moodle itself, plus others like Joomla!, mediawiki, wordpress, HTML5/CSS3, and so on. Another one is Squeak/Etoys, and its application to teaching at K12 schools, in the moot of another similar efforts of teaching kids with Logo, Scratch and other programming-driven methodologies. I think Alberto Bonacina could be interested in not what free apps we have for teaching, but how we actually deploy courses for engaged learning. Date: Sat, 15 Jan 2011 09:45:39 +0100 From: Alberto Bonacina <bonacina.alberto(a)gmail.com> 2011/1/15 David Ramsey <diamond_ramsey(a)hotmail.com>: > * What Fedora Classroom Topics, are you interested in? I'm interested in FreeSoftware for Learning, I made also a university degree thesis about this topic. Greetings, Alberto Bonacina I've talked with Karsten Wade a couple of months ago, and shared with him and in Category:Fedora School in our wiki, an initiative to run a moodle hosting courses for Fedora users and contributors. At Fedora Latam we are beginning to run http://moodle.proyectofedora.org/ but the real question is: We need "teachers" for user-driven courses helping each other to hack with real problems using the software provided by Fedora Project. This could amplify the effort today invested in mailing lists and wiki, engaging people sharing the effort to use (and contribute to) our documentation, and apply it to their daily tasks. What do you think? Would you like "Groups of self-teaching" about SELinux, publican, Virtualization, Design and Accessibility, SCM with tools like git, Sysadmin tools and SOPs? Are you interested in become a teacher with moodle for Fedora Project? Best regards. -- Salud, tierra y libertad Jesús Franco http://identi.ca/tzk https://we.riseup.net/tzk
