[ubuntu-uk] Ubuntu Global Jam
Have already asked on loco-contacts Hello all, I am a bit new to this list so still finding my feet. The Southend on Sea Linux User Group is running a Ubuntu Global Jam on both the 3rd and 4th of October, however I have no developers or specialists within my group although we will demonstrate as best we can. I would have thought there would be many Ubuntu developers in or around my area we have a large generous venue free food and refreshments, parking and two days worth of tutorials. We would like to draft in some developers or other specialist such as programmers if we can, I am not sure if this is the right place to do it but perhaps someone would be kind enough to tell me.

Hi Matt, well I get as far as completing the wizard, but nothing happens when I try to start the program. So somewhere its not actually installing Ubuntu. I did try to do it from a cd, but how can I do it using an iso image, is that from where there is a copy on the harddrive, not the cd?

Regardless of what you are using, there should be an option to specify an ISO image to mount as a CD/DVD drive.

Nearest I've got so far is to use the Calendar and Contacts on Google Mail. I'm able to sync these with my Nokia e63 using the Exchange client for the Nokia phone. Not actually tried syncing Google Mail with Thunderbird (with the Lightning Plugin) or Evolution but I believe it can be done. I do this via wifi on the phone and the 3G connection (haven't got a data cable and I haven't had much luck with the Bluetooth yet).
