 on: An informal meet up of people working together to make Ubuntu 10.04 th
 e best release yet!\n\nThe Ubuntu Global Jam is an incredible opportunity 
 for the worldwide Ubuntu community to work together during the weekend of 
 26th – 28th March 2010 to improve Ubuntu.\n\nWhat is a Jam?\nThe Ubuntu 
 Global Jam evolved out of the concept of Bug Jams\, People would come toge
 ther to sit down in the same room to fix\, find and triage bugs. However b
 ugs are just one facet of the challenges involved in producing an operatin
 g system that strives for high quality such as Ubuntu. Thus it was expande
 d to cover many topics and activities\, forming the Ubuntu Global Jam.\n\n
 We will be providing training on how to use launchpad (the development sys
 tem that powers Ubuntu and its community)\, how to find and report bugs\, 
 and give help and guidance on anything else\nyou might have problems with 
 on the day. You don't need to have a technical background\, *anyone* who's
  used Ubuntu can contribute.\n\nThe main themes that people get involved w
 ith at Jams are:\n\n* Bugs – finding\, triaging and fixing bugs.\n* Test
 ing – testing the new release and reporting your feedback.\n* Upgrade 
 – upgrading to Lucid from Hardy or Karmic and reporting your\nupgrade ex
 perience.\n* Documentation – writing documentation about how to use Ubun
 tu and how\nto join the community.\n* Translations – translating Ubuntu 
 and helping to make it available in\n everyone’s local language (includi
 ng UK English!).\n* Packaging – work on Ubuntu packages and improve them
 .\n* Other – other types of contribution such as marketing and advocacy\
 netc.\n\nSee http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGlobalJam for more info\n\nWhat 
 you need to bring:\n* A computer of some kind that can access the internet
  via Ethernet or\n wifi\, you can even bring your desktop if you need to.\
