From “zero to hero” in one month

The Ubuntu Month Of Screencasts 2007 starts tomorrow (01.09.2007). The Screencast Team came up with quite a mad idea to produce one full length screencast per day for the whole of one month. They will cover a wide range of topics which should answer some questions that new users to Ubuntu often ask. Screencasts will be available in three sizes and two formats (OGG and Flash) under Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 License.

I’m really looking forward to this.
