Barring another blizzard, I'm definitely going to this meeting! Does anyone from the Grand Rapids area want to ride together? I can seat 6 or 7 adults in my minivan.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">---------- Forwarded message ----------<br>

To: Ubuntu Michigan Local Community Team <<a href="mailto:ubuntu-us-mi@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-us-mi@lists.ubuntu.com</a>><br><br><br>*** ANNOUNCEMENT ***<br>
<br>
The Michigan Local Community Team will be participating in the Ubuntu<br>
Global Jam on October 3rd.<br>
<br>
What is the Ubuntu Global Jam? Essentially it is a time when the various<br>
LoCo teams get together and jam out at what ever they have interest in.<br>
So some will be having Bug Jams, others Packaging Jams, or even<br>
Translation Jams. More info here: <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGlobalJam" target="_blank">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGlobalJam</a><br>
<br>
What will the awesome Michigan LoCo be doing at OUR Jam? We'll that's up<br>
to you, really! So far we have interest in both a Bug Jam and a Packaging<br>
Jam. The Bug Jam will consist of an introduction to bug triage [0] and<br>
then plenty of times for Q&A/self-exploration/team learning.<br>
<br>
The Packaging Jam crew will be available to help people get the hang of<br>
packaging Ubuntu .debs [1] and by the end of the day I'm sure there will<br>
be a few new, or updated, software packages.<br>
<br>
And, of course, as it is a Jam, we're open to other ideas!<br>
<br>
With all of this going on it is sure to be a great time!<br>
<br>
==Here are the important details:==<br>
* What: Michigan LoCo's Global Jam<br>
* When: October 3rd from 12 (noon) to 6pm<br>
* Where: SRT Solutions in Ann Arbor [2]<br>
* Why: To rock out on Ubuntu before the release of Karmic Koala.<br>
* Who: YOU! Your friends! Your neighbors! And all of the wonderful<br>
members of the Michigan LoCo team.<br>
<br>
<br>
As with any event like this, and especially if you don't live in Ann<br>
Arbor, I recommend carpooling. Feel free to use the mailing list to<br>
coordinate rides.<br>
<br>
If you have any questions, email the list. If you have any great ideas of<br>
other things we can do, email the list. If you just want to introduce<br>
yourself before coming to the event, email the list!<br>
<br>
Hope to see you all there!<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
<br>
Greg<br>
