No problem at all.  If I didn't state it in my original email let me  
do so now:  the space at CCC can be made available to use for a Ubuntu  
Bug Jam for no cost.  I checked with the owner just now and he  
confirmed his willingness to host us.  Also, the game night is without  
charge too, so feel free to come over for that if you're so inclined.

I have not reserved the space as I want the group to decide if this is  
the venue they want to use.

I was referring to the Bug Jam.  Unfortunately I'll be out of town  
this Saturday.  I wish I could come to the event this Saturday because  
I've never done a Bug Jam either!

Best,
