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.
