Great!

I bet it will, and plus, testing on various hardware types is a great 
idea. Do you have a USB stick that you can put an installation of Ubuntu 
on, it will require the stick to be reformatted (ie: you'll lose any data 
on it)?

Everyone has something to contribute at a Global Jam, seriously. And, the 
Jam is also about teaching, so be prepared to learn a little bit (it'll 
be fun, I promise!).

See: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGlobalJamBootcamp
The "Do's and Don'ts of bug triaging" and "All about those live isos" are 
two IRC sessions that go over some information that will be useful for 
our Jam. This isn't required reading, but if you have time, see what you 
can glean from it.

Welcome to the group and see you on Sunday!

Greg
