DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, 28th August\, MadLab [1] are hosting "U3 - an Ub
 untu and Upstream UnWorkshop day" in collaboration with HacMan [2]\, ManLu
 g [3] and Manchester Free Software [4] to coincide with the Ubuntu Global 
 Jam [5].\n\nAn UnWorkshop Day is a day of talks and workshops\, where the 
 timetable and topics are defined by the people who attend on the day\, sim
 ilar to unconferences like BarCamps but with more of a collaborative feel.
  There will be lots of things going on\, and whatever we do together\, we'
 ll have gurus and experts from various disciplines there to help us! The d
 ay will be mainly focused around the Ubuntu [6] Operating System but will 
 also look at the other projects that help to make up that system (known as
  Upstream Sources)\, including the Debian project\, Gnome and KDE Desktop 
 Environments and many more.\nDo you want to understand how best to report\
 , track and even fix bugs in the Open Source projects and programs you use
 ? Are you an artist and would like to know about getting your works includ
 ed in a Free Software project? Maybe you'd like to try the latest beta rel
 ease of Ubuntu (codenamed Maverick Meerkat) to see what's coming\, or find
  out what it's like to install a Linux Distribution on different hardware 
 platforms? Would you like to write documentation\, instructions or just fi
 nd out how best you can help others in the community? Can you help people 
 who are not able to read English\, by translating words and phrases from p
 rograms and documents for projects like Ubuntu into other languages? Have 
 you ever wondered how you could create installable program packages so tha
 t people running Linux distributions like Debian or Ubuntu can use them?\n
 If any of this sounds interesting to you\, please get your FREE ticket abo
 ve (tickets become available from 12th August at 1pm)\, and we look forwar
 d to seeing you on the day! Can't wait to get involved? Join the mailing l
 ist at http://pielists.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/u-cubed and be a part
