Ubuntu Global Jam 3rd March

[Mike O'Donohue]

Hi All,

Andru (the guy leading the Jam in Limerick) has agreed to host a google 
hangout from the ubuntuie google plus account during the Jam this 
Saturday.  I'm not familiar with google hangouts but if you'd like to 
join the hangout  I believe you need:
a google plus account
have ubuntuie in one of your circles
have the required google_talkplugin installed (deb packages available 
for both 32 and 64 bit systems)
have a webcam (may or may not be required)

I had a problem installing the plugin through the automagical Software 
Center (it kept crashing (this is a know bug)) so I opened a terminal 
and resorted to:

sudo dpkg -i PACKAGE.deb

I think attending the Jam via the google hangout would be a great way to 
get involved remotely.  Of course IRC is always an option with the 
#ubuntu-ie channel on freenode.

The collective wisdom of those on IRC and on the Google Hangout should 
be able to respond to any questions that may arise.

Based on my understanding there is  a huge drive for testing this 
cycle.  As 12.04 LTS will be supported for 5 years on both the desktop 
and the server it should be stable and reliable.

So why not test 12.04 beta 1 on your hardware via any of the methods 
available?

Kind Regards

Mike
