> having a great time doing so, and putting their brick in the wall for
> free software. This is not only a great opportunity to really help
> Ubuntu, but to also get together with other Ubuntu fans to make a
> difference together, either via your LoCo team, your LUG, other free
> software group, or just getting people together in your house/apartment
> to fix bugs and have a great time.

> If you are in a LoCo Team, the Ubuntu Global Bug Jam it a great
> opportunity for LoCo Teams (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoTeamList) to get

> opportunity to drink tea, eat biscuits, and possibly listen to death
> metal if you are so inclined (well, you can ignore the death metal bit).
> To get started there is a Running a Bug Jam guide
> (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RunningBugJam), which offers some helpful
> advice for getting your jam organised. If you are in a Linux User Group
> why not try and organise a bug jam for your LUG too?

> If you are planning on organising a jam for your group, just follow

>
>  1. Decide on a venue and dates, and start letting people know about
> where and when the jam is. You might want to post to other local groups
> to let them know so they can attend. Take a read of the Running a Bug
> Jam page (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RunningBugJam) to help you get
> started.
>  2. Update the Ubuntu Global Bug Jam page
> (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GlobalBugJam) and add your jam to it. Be sure
> to add any specific applications your local participants are interested
> in in the *Interests* box - we will then try to get upstream specialists
> to the Jam who can help with debugging on IRC.
>  3. Blog about it, post to mailing lists, put flyers up in computer
> shops and other places and otherwise spread the word. :)
>  4. On the day we will post more information about getting involved in
> the jam
>
> We will be posting more information about  how the global bug jam will
> work closer to the time. :)

> Also, could everyone go and Digg this over at

>
> Woo! :)
