Hi All,<br><br>Things are looking good for our participation in the Global Bug Jam this weekend. Here's a couple notes additional planning notes:<br><br>Bug Jam Schedule: I've put some scheduling details up on the wiki, so now you can see when things will be getting going, cooling off, and approximately when to expect food. ( <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ChicagoTeam/Projects">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ChicagoTeam/Projects</a> ) Right now we're looking to get started around 7:30 on Friday, and to have people arrive between 10:00am and 12:00pm on Saturday.<br>
<br>Access to the building: We'll have a flyer posted at the building entrance on how to get in to the building. Specific details are on the wiki.<br><br>General Food: With regards to food, I'm expecting that people will be able to chip in some of their own moolah to buy a couples slices of pizza for themselves, or to buy a hot dog? Y/Y? I'm willing to chip in a little extra moolah to support the cause. Still, if you don't have money to add to the pizza pot, just let me know. We won't let anyone go hungry (unless you are on a hunger strike in protest of a tyrannical enemy, in which case we will not force you to eat). <br>
<br>Saturday Food: Would someone be willing to bring a few donuts and / or coffee in on Saturday morning? Also, what would people like for lunch on Saturday? I suggested Portillo's but we may do something else. We'd have to do their catering which basically limits us to piles of food that they can put in a tin tray. Plus, Portillo's is not exactly vegetarian friendly & people may want something different anyway.<br>
<br>Bug Jam Bug Focus: Are there any particular projects where you would like to direct your attention? I'm sure that part of our time will be spent triaging and fixing general open bugs, but we'll have time to report, triage, or fix bugs in pet projects, too. If there's a particular project that you would like to focus on, please add some basic details about it to the wiki. <a href="https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ChicagoTeam/Projects#Bugjam%20Bug%20Focus">https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ChicagoTeam/Projects#Bugjam%20Bug%20Focus</a><br>
<br>5-a-day: The 5-a-day bug-work reporting & tracking tool has been greatly simplified, just in time for the Bug Jam. You don't need to download a special program or manually report your bug work anymore. All you need to do is join this launchpad team: <a href="https://edge.launchpad.net/~5-a-day-participants/+join">https://edge.launchpad.net/~5-a-day-participants/+join</a><br>
<br>If you have any questions about anything in this message or on the wiki, please let me know. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone on Friday and Saturday. Thanks, all.<br><br>Jim<br>
