Workshop on Git (+gobby), next February 2, 21:00 UTC
by Jesús Franco
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.
Best regards.

FYI, i've started a similar quest, and i'd like to share with you:

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.

> * 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.
