Re: [ubuntu-uk] [IMPORTANT] Ubuntu UK Bug Jam?
Sorry, didn't mean to offend, I was just frustrated that it often seems the UK Ubuntu community is quite disjointed. If progress isn't made public on the wiki or lists then it appears that nothing is happening. I look forward to more info on the bug jam. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.org/UKTeam/
Re: [ubuntu-uk] [IMPORTANT] Ubuntu UK Bug Jam?
What is happening with this? It's lame that the UK isn't making more effort to get Ubuntu going, especially considering Canonical is based here. Regular real world meetings help the community to network and grow in a way which doesn't happen online. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GlobalBugJam 2008/6/24 James Westby [EMAIL PROTECTED]: On Fri, 2008-06-20 at 18:12 +0100, Alan Pope wrote: Hi, You may have seen this [0] announcement from Jono about the upcoming Global Ubuntu Bug Jam, this August 8th through 10th (Friday to Sunday).

Questions:- 1) Anyone fancy helping run a Bug Jam in the UK? Definitely. I'm still wanting to get a packaging Jam organised, but events are conspiring to slow me down. 2) Shall we have more than one at various places around the UK? I think that if we can get more than one organised that will be great. For people who are unable to attend any real life event there will be lots of activity on IRC. We could have a virtual UK event alongside the global virtual event as well. (i.e. there will be loads of people in #ubuntu-bugs, we could use #ubuntu-uk for discussions amongst ourselves as well.) 3) Suggestions for venues which can accommodate a number of people over that period? Yeah, I'm not sure. I have a couple of ideas for Bristol that could accommodate a few people if anyone is interested in the South West. They're not great venues though, I don't think. Another thing would be whether we had a focus or two. In order to help share knowledge it's easier if people can be working in the same area. This means that we could focus on rhythmbox bugs, or anything to do with cd burning, or confirming bugs from old releases on Hardy/Intrepid, or closing Incomplete bugs that don't have the needed information. We don't have to have one topic for everyone, but if there is something you would like to work on (your favourite app, an app you have reported several bugs against that have not had much attention), then speak up and we could look for areas to attack around that. Also, with advance warning we can approach people knowledgeable in the package (maintainer, upstream, Debian maintainer, other distros), and get some collaboration going, so making the day more productive.

Re: [ubuntu-uk] [IMPORTANT] Ubuntu UK Bug Jam?
Same here, I'm one year older :P. I've done a little programming in python but that's it (on linux, I did Vbasic, Java, C# etc. on windows before I moved). I'm very much near york myself, but also have the inability to travel large distances. Anyone know of anything going on near York? signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.org/UKTeam/

[ubuntu-uk] [IMPORTANT] Ubuntu UK Bug Jam?
Hi, You may have seen this [0] announcement from Jono about the upcoming Global Ubuntu Bug Jam, this August 8th through 10th (Friday to Sunday). If you don't know what a Bug Jam is then I suggest you follow the links contained in both Jonos and Daniels [1] messages to the LoCo contacts mailing list. Questions:- 1) Anyone fancy helping run a Bug Jam in the UK? 2) Shall we have more than one at various places around the UK? 3) Suggestions for venues which can accommodate a number of people over that period? 4) If we have enough people does it make sense to have another Jam at the same time/venue - a packaging jam, wiki cleanup jam, documentation jam or launchpad answers jam for example? Suggestions for other jams..? m Jam... http://drool.popey.com/ Quick points:- * Anyone can get involved, you don't need to be a coder. * We don't have any locations in mind at the moment, but will of course start asking around. * Would be good to tie this up with a social meet up on the Friday and/or the Saturday night, given we as a group don't get together too often. Discuss! Cheers, Al.

Questions:- 1) Anyone fancy helping run a Bug Jam in the UK? yes 2) Shall we have more than one at various places around the UK? yes; I'm tired of arguments over where an event should be. So, London yes, and wherever else there are people to make it happen. 3) Suggestions for venues which can accommodate a number of people over that period? Will put my thinking cap on, but first we need an idea of numbers, and necessary facilities 4) If we have enough people does it make sense to have another Jam at the same time/venue - a packaging jam, wiki cleanup jam, documentation jam or launchpad answers jam for example? Suggestions for other jams..? Marmalade.
