This Saturday from 10AM to whenever we get bored there will be an online
global jam session for the Ubuntu UK community. You can think of it as a
virtual barcamp, and just like other barcamps the agenda is open and
available for you to fill out with what you want to do. The agenda is in
fact here: http://pad.ubuntu-uk.org/globaljam2011 we can cover any
subjects, but I would like to focus on actually *doing* things rather
than talking about doing things. Ideas could include things like:
* Propose a hack session on an application you are working on and
need some help
* Talk about Debian packaging and lets actually package something
together
* Run though some Natty installation testing together
* Write some documentation together
The common theme is that this is a collaborative exercise in real time
and to support that we will be using the #ubuntu-uk IRC channel
<http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=ubuntu-uk&uio=OT10cnVlJjEwPXRydWUmMTE9MjE46>
that we use for general support and chat, plus we will also be using a
voice over IP conferencing server that uses the Mumble client. This
client is in Ubuntu so just find it in the software centre or “sudo
apt-get install mumble” from a terminal. Once you have it installed and
running you need to connect to the server at mumble.libertus.co.uk and
then start talking away. Please use a headset microphone to avoid
feedback or you will have to use the push to talk feature which is a bit
unnatural. The server is up and running already, feel free to give it a
try in advance.
I look forward to hearing lots of people on Saturday!
Alan.
