[ubuntu-us-ma] Global Bug Jam event at MIT

[Evan Broder]

Hi everyone -
    As a quick followup, I got my room reservation today.

Our Ubuntu Global Jam event will be happening in room 32-144, in the
Stata Center at 32 Vassar St. You can see a campus map at
<http://whereis.mit.edu/?selection=32>. The room itself is a classroom
on the ground floor, and all of the classrooms have their room number
painted in large white numbers above the door, so hopefully it won't be
too difficult to find.

There's a little more information at
<http://sipb.mit.edu/events/2009-ubuntu-global-jam/>, and I'll also be
posting the event to <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGlobalJam/Events> in
just a few minutes.

- Evan
