Hello everyone! <br><br>This is an announcement of plans for an Ubuntu 10.04 "Lucid Lynx" Jam in Manchester. <br><br>As the Ubuntu Wiki puts it, <i>"an Ubuntu Jam is a local event, where people meet to do something with
Ubuntu. The point is to have fun, meet great people, learn something
new and make Ubuntu better in a way that you like and enjoy."</i> Essentially, it will be a group of geeks with computers meeting up, socialising, and making Ubuntu better through bug fixing, documentation, translation, etc. to help make Ubuntu 10.04 be as good as it can be. <br>
<br>What every event needs is people, so - how many of you would be interested in such an event? Anything from just turning up for an hour, or turning up for the entire thing, from working quietly by yourself or helping to keep the whole Jam going. If you've never contributed to Ubuntu before, this will be a good way for you to learn how to. <br>
<br>So far no date/venue has been planned, so if you think you know a suitable place, post it up. Some things to remember about the venue is that it needs plenty of power available, and an Internet connection, and preferably a place to get drinks & snacks. As for the date, mostly we can speculate it will probably be an evening/weekend event, as most people tend to work during the week. <br clear="all">
<br>If you're interested, let us know! If you're on the Ubuntu-UK mailing list (for those who get this from elsewhere), it would be appreciated if you responded on there, as it'd be good to keep most of the discussion on the Ubuntu-UK list.<br>
