If 2009 is not the year of the Linux Desktop, it's at least going to be the year of Ubuntu Jams aka kick-ass-loco-work-on-Ubuntu-itself. :-) > Do you have examples of GBJ events that happened in this cycle in odd > locations?

I don't have any stories about this GBJ to share, just about the first Ubuntu Berlin Release party - it happened in my appartment. I just told people to mail me so I could give them my address. It didn't take very long until I got emails saying "I'm going to bring my wife and our neighbour, hope that's alright." - I got LOADS of those emails and I was really worried it'd turn into a fiasco. In the end 40 people showed up and we partied until 5-6 in the morning - it was fantastic. Don't be afraid offering your place for an event. You'll help a lot giving people the cosy feeling of "I feel welcome in the Ubuntu community" and you can build on that later on. (And probably find a bigger location together the next time.) Have a great day, Daniel -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkmjvzgACgkQRjrlnQWd1esZPwCdEX/0w4MNZX7DXcoD7BuyyIZo RtsAn3QEDke9e/Qe5YII/7ow9F5QUQOD =Qs16 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- loco-contacts mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/loco-contacts
