Global Jam - An Irish slant

[Tom Salmon]

I think the first two suggestions, Standard Bug/Translation Jamming and Workshop/Tutorials may work best for such occasions.

The Ubuntu Hour may be better suited for Lightening talks, and general programming sessions may be better handled by an entity like TOG.

Just my thoughts :)
