Weekly Q+A Sessions

by | Wed 2 Feb 2011

One thing we are always trying to improve and optimize is transparency in the Ubuntu project. One piece of work to this end is ensuring that the managers in the Ubuntu Engineering Team are available to answer questions that the community may have.

As such, this week we will be kicking off a regular Q+A slot with a rotating list of people who will be answering questions. This weeks session will be run by **Pete Graner** the **Kernel Engineering Manager** – do you have questions about our kernel, what we are shipping, how the community works, or anything else? Well Pete will be there to give you all the answers!

The sessions will take place every Friday at **5.30pm UTC** in `#ubuntu-meeting` on freenode.

This is the schedule for the next few weeks:

* 4th Feb 2011 – Pete Graner, Kernel Engineering Manager
* 11th Feb 2011 – Robbie Williamson, Server Engineering Manager
* 18th Feb 2011 – Allison Randall, Ubuntu Technical Architect

For more details and to always check out the current schedule, see [this page](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WeeklyQandA).

In addition to this I do my weekly Q+A videocasts at **7pm UTC every Wednesday**.

Enjoy, folks!
