[ubuntu-us-mi] Fwd: Ubuntu Party Weekend…

[Greg Grossmeier]

The Ubuntu Global Jam is coming up. Time to start planning where we'll be 
holding ours.

The two usual places are:
 * Clinton-Macomb Public Library
 * SRT Solutions

And we usually do it on the Saturday (so, August 28th) in the afternoon 
(1-5ish) as that is most flexible for the most number of people.

I personally prefer SRT Solutions because A) Jay can just get us in 
without worrying about library card holders, B) good wifi, C) a projector 
already set up, D) close to restuarants/bars for after Jam festivities.

However, I'm not set on a place, so if you have an idea of a place that 
you think is better, please let me know.

Also, I would love to see something out on the West Coast as well :)

Best,

Greg
