[Hudlug] Proposed Manchester Ubuntu 10.04 Jam

[Simon Wears]

Hello everyone!

This is an announcement of plans for an Ubuntu 10.04 "Lucid Lynx" Jam in
Manchester.

As the Ubuntu Wiki puts it, *"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."* 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.

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.

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.

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.
