Ubuntu Global Jam: We Need Your Events!

by | Tue 10 Aug 2010


*Cornellà , Spain*


*Chicago, USA*

Are you good folks aware of what is happening on **27th – 29th August 2010**. But of course, it is the [Ubuntu Global Jam](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGlobalJam)!

In the last few cycles we have organized and run an event called the *Ubuntu Global Jam*. The idea was simple: encourage our awesome global Ubuntu community to get together in the same room to work on bugs, translations, documentation, testing and more. And they did, all over the world, as can be seen [here](https://archivedblog.jonobacon.com/2009/10/06/ubuntu-global-jam-rocks-the-world/).

One thing that I am keen that everyone remembers: you don’t have to be an official developer, packager or programmer to take part in the Ubuntu Global Jam. Also, lets not forget that *Ubuntu Global Jam* events are a fantastic place to learn and improve your skills: you can sit next to someone who can show you how to do something or explain something in more detail.

If this is all sounding right up your street and you fancy organizing an event, go and read [this page](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Jams) and then add your event to the [LoCo Directory](https://loco.ubuntu.com/events/global/195/detail/) by following [these instructions](https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGlobalJam/Events).

Rock and roll: let’s make this one to remember. Start your engines, folks…

An invitation-only accelerator that develops industry-leading community engagement and growth via personalized training, coaching, and accountability...all tailored to your company's needs.

I am 35 years old and *people* never cease to surprise me. My trip home from Los Angeles today was a good example of this. It was a tortuous affair that should have been a quick hop from LA to Oakland, popping on BArt, and then getting home for a cup of tea and an...
