Fedora Classrooms on IRC

Here is another interesting thing about the web2.0

Have you ever imagined about a Virtual ClassRoom…? i have been dreaming about this for a long time and now, the Fedora people have come forward with a new method for teaching (“Fedora Class Rooms”).

Those who want to learn Linux from the basics can join this Fedora Class rooms and watch Fedora Project Experts taking class on different topics from time to time… to know more about it click here

This Fedora Class room works via the IRC, classes are being held during weekends for the convenience of everyone.. To know about the classroom schedules every week, visit https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Classroom

Keep track of the topics for the upcoming classes and follow the UTC timing to attend classes at the scheduled time… you can also interact between the class hours by asking question related to the topics during the Q&A sessions. The instructors are very polite and ready to help.

And, people willing to take classes are also invited. Check out the classroom link above to know more about registering for the classroom presentation..

For my College friends who say “I am sitting at home wasting weekends” here’s a good place for you to hangout during the weekends..

All classes will be held on irc at #fedora-classroom (channel) in irc.freenode.net.

All you need to do is

have Fedora or any linux installed in your system
install the irc client such as the xchat (yum install xchat if using fedora or CentOS)
see that your system has the UTC clock to track the classroom timings
connect the irc.freenode.net
choose the channel #fedora-classroom
and stay tuned

And if you couldn’t attend the class for some reason, you can also view the log of the conversation later, the conversations on fedora-classrooms are being archived and kept in the fedora project wiki.
