FAQ
What is the Global Jam?
A world-wide online and face-to-face event to get people together to work on Ubuntu projects - we want to get as many people online working on things, having a great time doing so, and putting their brick in the wall for free software as possible. This is not only a great opportunity to really help Ubuntu, but to also get together with other Ubuntu fans to make a difference together, either via your LoCo team, your LUG, other free software group, or just getting people together in your house/apartment to work on Ubuntu projects and have a great time.
What goes on during the event?
- Collect bugs, fix them, testing, documenting and translating. Get together and make Ubuntu better.
Do you meet in a specific place, or just talk on irc?
- Both would be great, but it's great to meet in person with other people. You should stop by #ubuntu-locoteams to join in on the action. Also don't forget to microblog with the hashtag #ugj to spread the word!
What do we need?
- You need a place to be, with decent internet connection, some computers, and great people to share the work. Probably you can find a place in a University, school or even neighbourhood local. Contact your local translation team.
