As member of the Ubuntu LoCo Galway I will be running a one day Global Jam on Saturday from noon to late evening. The day will consist on the following:
- Bugs - finding, triaging and fixing bugs.
-
Testing - testing the new release and reporting your feedback.
- Upgrade - upgrading to Quantal from Precise and reporting your upgrade experience.
- Documentation - writing documentation about how to use Ubuntu and how to join the community.
- Translations - translating Ubuntu and helping to make it available in everyone's local language.
- Packaging - work on Ubuntu packages and improve them.
All depends on what people decide to do on the day or their skill set. There's something for everybody, no need to be a developer to take part, and probably going for beers at the end of the day.
