I’ve been prepping for several weeks with Nigel Babu and this week we wrapped up the last loose ends for Ubuntu User Days tomorrow, Saturday 24th (and a couple hours into Sunday the 25th UTC)!
User Days is a chat-based series of classes in #ubuntu-classroom on irc.freenode.net (#ubuntu-classroom-chat for questions). Classes will cover everything from Unity to the command line to switching from another OS, check out the full schedule here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UserDays
There’s also a new version of Lernid available if you’re interested in trying it out. We need some more volunteers to test drive it before we start formal backports, so if you can test – please do!
In Oneiric Beta: Just install the lernid package from the Ubuntu Software Center!
In Lucid, Maverick and Natty, on the command line:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lernid-devs/lernid-releases
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install lernid
Please report any bugs found here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/lernid (click on “Report a bug” on the top right).

No events planned for the city today, I’ll be doing User Days and then in the late afternoon am heading out to a wedding reception.
