Hi Laura,

I'm interested in coming along to this - but can't guarantee I can make it.

If numbers are limited then don't include me - but if it is just a
matter of having my name on the list so I can pop along if I can -
please put me down :-)

Cheers,

Simon

[ubuntu-uk] Ubuntu Global Jam - Coventry - 7th - 9th September

2012-08-28 Thread Martin Meredith
Good Afternoon all!

I thought I'd send out a quick email to announce that we'll be hosting
the Ubuntu Global Jam over at Protec Innovations on the 7th through
9th September.

The Ubuntu Global Jam is an incredible opportunity for the Ubuntu
community to unite together around the weekend of 7th - 9th September
2012 to work together to improve Ubuntu. Everyone is able to
contribute to the Jam, and everyone is welcome and encouraged to get
involved. Curious about how to make a real difference to Ubuntu? This
is a great chance to make that difference.

The Ubuntu Global Jam incorporates events that have been organized
over the world to get Ubuntu contributors and fans together to have a
great time and improve Ubuntu. Each event has one or more of our
themes:

Bugs - finding, triaging and fixing bugs.
Testing - testing the new release and reporting your feedback.
Upgrade - upgrading to Quantal from Precise and reporting your upgrade
experience.
Documentation - writing documentation about how to use Ubuntu and how
to join the community.
Translations - translating Ubuntu and helping to make it available in
everyone's local language.
Packaging - work on Ubuntu packages and improve them.

As we have in previous years, our main focus will be on dealing with
bugs - the last 3 times we've ran the Global Jam - the Birmingham /
West Midlands team have stomped all over the other teams in dealing
with bugs - so I can't see why we shouldn't be able to do it again.
However, we've also got myself on hand should you be interested in
learning more about other parts of contributing to Ubuntu.

Please note - we won't be able to provide hardware for you to work
with - so please do bring along a Laptop, or a machine to work with.

Refreshments will be provided, however, there is also an ASDA a few
minutes walk down the road :)

We've setup a signup at http://ugj-cov.eventbrite.co.uk/ so that we
can get an idea of numbers - so please sign up there if you're
planning to attend so we can plan accordingly.

Any questions?  Feel free to reply and I'll attempt to answer them.

[ubuntu-uk] Ubuntu Global Jam 2012 - London

2012-08-21 Thread Alan Pope

Hi all,

I've got agreement from Canonical to use a room in our London office for 
the Global Jam between 7th and 9th September.


http://www.londontown.com/LondonInformation/Shopping/Blue_Fin_Building/edb5/

I'd like us to do maybe two of the three days, possibly Friday and 
Saturday or Saturday and Sunday, and need to see which days are most 
popular. If people are keen to do all three days then I will have to 
find another Canonical employee to escort people on that day.


What I need to know though is how many people would be up for coming and 
on what days. I need this so I can choose the right day, make sure we 
have the right size room booked and inform security.


I will confirm with you all nearer the time, so think of this as a 
tentative way to gauge which day is most po


http://doodle.com/6vcb8a6rcgcewhf6

Just click the above link, put in your name and tell me which day you'd 
prefer to come. We can talk about the details of what happens at the jam 
on this list.

 Someone pick a pub in Brighton and lets make this happen!  Please can people

This was me! I'll put some thought into a pub, however unfortunately I
may no longer actually be in Brighton due to a change in personal
circumstances :-(

Hopefully I can just make the journey down anyway if I am no longer
living down there!

Does anyone have any specific requests for pubs? I presume walking
distance from station, big enough to accommodate a reasonable crowd
etc.

[ubuntu-uk] Ubuntu Global Jam 2nd-4th March

2012-02-13 Thread Alan Bell

Hi all,

in a few weeks time there will be a focussed burst of activity on 
Ubuntu, in the form of the Global Jam, which is basically a weekend of 
various activities around the world encouraging people to contribute to 
Ubuntu in some way. You can read more about it here

http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/global/1443/detail/

and various other places

http://www.jonobacon.org/2012/02/07/ubuntu-global-jam-call-for-events-2/
http://mhall119.com/2012/02/a-new-way-to-jam/

I am not sure we have any real-world events going on in the UK (but feel 
free to organise one) however we could do some online activities, either 
via IRC or audio using mumble, or a google hangout or something. I am 
keen to go through and document and perhaps fix a bit once more the 
installation process with Orca, if anyone else has suggestions of things 
to do then speak now

Could be good to get everyone to just run through checkbox-unity on 
their machine running the latest Ubuntu 12.04 + Unity + Compiz. Even 
from a Live CD or USB key it could uncover bugs we haven't seen yet. I 
found 4 today, one duplicate and 3 new ones, just running through that 
test suite!


It's super easy (if a little time consuming [especially if you find 
bugs]) but very rewarding to uncover and properly document these issues 
_before_ release.

[ubuntu-uk] Ubuntu Global Jam 2nd-4th September

2011-07-08 Thread Alan Bell

here follows a message about the Ubuntu Global Jam, we should do something for 
this.
Ideas on the back of an email . . .

Alan.




The Ubuntu Global Jam is a worldwide event in which Ubuntu LoCo Teams
get together at a local venue and work on Ubuntu, get know each other,
and otherwise just have a lot of fun! These events are simple to
organize, a great way of meeting people in your area, and a great way
of learning (at many of these events people share skills, techniques
and more about using and contributing to Ubuntu).

This Ubuntu Global Jam is also a particularly important one. Ubuntu
11.10 Oneiric Ocelot is shaping up to be a stunning release, and we are
all putting a lot of focus in ensuring that Unity gets lots of
testing, and our awesome LoCo community is helping with this.
Organizing an Ubuntu Global Jam event is a great opportunity to do
some of this testing and provide feedback to help make Oneiric better. I
strongly believe that this Ubuntu release is going to really help
Ubuntu bring Free Software to the masses.:-)

You can see the list of current events planned at
http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/global/1011/detail/  and we would love to
encourage you to organize and event and participate!

   Organizing An Event
It is really simple. Here is how:

 1. Pick a date (a day between the 2nd-4th September 2011) and choose a
venue. The venue can simply be a coffee shop or bar that you all meet
at, or something more structured like a college or university. Many
teams just pick a coffee shop (not needing to inform the owners) and
just all agree to all meet up at the same time, date and location.
 2. Add your event to loco.ubuntu.com. To do this, go to
http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/global/1011/detail/, make sure you are
signed in and then use the Add Team Event page to add your event.
Note: you need to be a member of your LoCo Team in Launchpad to add an
event to loco.ubuntu.com.
 3. Finally, spread the word! Blog about it, post about it on
Twitter/identi.ca (be sure to use the #globaljam hashtag!), post about
the event to your team's mailing list, put posters up around your local
area and more.

...and then, show up on the day of your event and have a great time!

2011-07-08 Thread Matthew Daubney
I'd vote on some time being assigned to a set of technical talks as I don't
attend enough these days.

On a side note, if someone would like to give a tslk on how oAuth works, I'd
be all ears :-)

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Ubuntu Global Jam

2009-09-23 Thread James Thomas
Hi there,
My name is James (selinuxium -in #ubuntu-uk)

I am running the London GlobalJam venue, I also am a Southend resident.

Worried that having two jams so close may leave us with a depleted user
base.
Maybe we can chat and sort out, one for Sat and one Sun...

I don't know... Catch me in IRC or mail me back!

Cheers

James Thomas

 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.

I'm not a developer myself (not even a full Ubuntu user) but there is 
bound to be someone on this list that can assist you, so expect a 
response shortly!
