[Powys] [Northwales] [Fwd: Ubuntu Cymru - Global Jam in Cardiff]

[Christopher Swift]

Hello Richard,

If it is easier for you and other Northern folk then it would be
amazing if you wanted to do something similar up in the North of
Wales! Admittedly there is a really short notice for everyone else if
they wanted to setup their own little "Jam" with the main problem
being that you must have a venue in place if you wanted others to work
with you in person (one of the main objectives of the Jam).

Lots of documentation is available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Jams for
help with deciding what to do if you are interested. Contact me back
if you'd prefer a separate Northern Jam so i can try to publicise it a
bit more than these two lists and give some tips that I've been
picking up from the community.

All the best,
Christopher Swift.

> Reit, we've now got our venue sorted for our Global Jam session. We will

> ===Objectives===
> Despite the theme of the jam being working on Ubuntu to improve or fix
> what is already there, the main objective is the get together as a team,
> get to know each other and have a great time together during the Jam! On
> the technical side of things though, we will be working on triaging
> bugs, testing Karmic's programs and hopefully, if we have a few Welsh
> speakers attended who are up for it, we can use the Rosetta platform to
> translate Ubuntu into the Welsh language!

> ===Prerequisites===
> You may be required to have a Cardiff Library membership card to be able
> to participate in this event, these can be  obtained in the day and are
> entirely free however you will need to bring some form of
> identification, such as a driver's license, passport, utility bill etc.
> If you are taking part in the Key-Signing party, the chances are that
> you will be carrying some form of government-approved identification in
> the first place.

>   Another essential item will be a laptop or netbook of some form
> (preferably one running Ubuntu, either Jaunty or the up-to-date version
> of Karmic if you want to test), if you do not own one then speak to the
> rest of the LoCo team and we might be able to get you one for the day (I
> have a spare one for example).
>
> ===IRC Meeting===
> We will be having a meeting in #ubuntu-cym on 23/09/09 at 19:00 Welsh
> Mean Time :). To discuss attendance and if the people attending have any
> previous experience in working on Ubuntu. If you are unable to make the
> meeting and you are thinking of attending, could you please email back
> saying that you are interested and if you have any previous experience
> (or not) so I can start organising the layout for the Jam itself.
