Some time ago, I saw down with the other [two](https://archivedblog.jonobacon.com/?p=1024) [horsemen](https://archivedblog.jonobacon.com/?p=1028) and we hatched a plan to have a week full of incredible IRC tuition sessions that show how to get involved in Ubuntu as a developer with packaging. Well, this resulted in the incredible wickedness that shall be known to all humanity as [Ubuntu Developer Week](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDeveloperWeek) and it happens from the **18th – 22nd Feb**.

All of the events happen on IRC, so [get connected](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDeveloperWeek/JoiningIn) and suck up the following sessions, each led by a range of community experts:
