I'm thinking of upcoming California events. CLS and OSCON would be good places to tell people about upcoming events. Currently Karmic is scheduled for release on Thursday, October 29th. [1] I started a new wiki page for this, copying and pasting from the Jaunty page and removing details. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/KarmicRelease
It was great to see the twit on June 29th "@jonobacon recorded a video tutorial: How to run an Ubuntu Global Jam Event. http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/1730589"; His sharing of best practices related to Date, Venue, Equipment & Buzz are good reminders to help in organizing an event. The recommendation to focus on Bugs, Testing, Documentation, Translations and Other give great opportunities for even the most neophyte Ubuntu user to contribute in some way. 20090616 15:50 <nhaines> Don't panic, but I just sort of told Jono we'll be doing a Global Bug Jam event in October. Everyone that knows about Bug Jams will be tripping over the name change for awhile to come. I don't see any California event linked from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGlobalJam/Events yet as recommended by Jono in his video cast. What are your plans, Nathan? Would anyone else be interested in volunteering to run other Global Jam events Sunday, October 4th in California?
