I wonder if the following event could be publicised in the next issue?<div> </div><div>Thanks</div><div>Les Pounder <div class="gmail_quote"> "Hi everyone On 28th August, MadLab is hosting U^3 (U-Cubed) - an Ubuntu and Upstream UnWorkshop day in collaboration with HacMan, ManLUG and Manchester Free Software. The day is inspired by the Ubuntu Global Jam event which is being held on the same weekend. It's an opportunity to help show users how to get involved in wider distribution work - both in the projects they're using already (maybe Ubuntu, maybe just some specific Free & Open Source applications) but also in the upstream projects, such as Debian, Gnome and others, and is inspired by the Ubuntu Global Jam events being held on the same day. We're hoping to find support on the day from people experienced in Ubuntu, but also people that are involved in more than just Ubuntu, so we're reaching out to anyone in the North West UK region to see if people are prepared to help out - even if Ubuntu isn't the Linux distribution you normally would use, so, if you're interested and available between 11am and 9pm and can get to Manchester, or even if you can just be around for part of the day, please get in touch with me, or better yet, go to <a href="http://u-cubed.eventbrite.com" target="_blank">http://u-cubed.eventbrite.com</a> to reserve a ticket. Because we've got limited space, we can only allocate 60 tickets, and to make it fair for everyone, we're giving people access to these tickets at 1PM on Thursday 12th August (giving people a chance to find out about the event), but if you're able to come along to help out with technical information or guidance, please let me know and I'll make sure that you're invited when the flood gates open! I really hope you'll be able to make it on the day, and help to make the day great!" -- Les Pounder One of the U^3 Organisers <a href="http://identi.ca" target="_blank">identi.ca</a> / twitter @biglesp Blog <a href="http://lespounder.wordpress.com" target="_blank">lespounder.wordpress.com</a> </div> </div>
