Hi Les I really think it depends what people decide to do. Working on documentation, the wiki or triaging some bugs is unlikely to require Lucid. Whereas, testing upgrades for example would.
I'm going to try to put Lucid Beta 1 on my netbook before the Jam, but I intend to have a usb stick or two to hand for others to install on the day. Might be worth other people bringing CDs/USB sticks too, if possible.
