Hi folks, I'm thrilled to announce that this coming Sunday, December 4, we will be holding a first ever combined Ubuntu Local Jam and Debian Bug Squashing Party in Portland, OR. This event will be held at the PuppetLabs office in downtown Portland from 10am to 5:30pm. The address is: 411 NW Park Ave Suite 500 Portland, OR 97219 Interested in giving back to your favorite distribution? Whether you're an experienced developer or making your first foray into the world of Open Source, please join us for a day of community fun! Q. What is an Ubuntu Local Jam? A. An Ubuntu Local Jam is like an Ubuntu Global Jam: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGlobalJam ... except not scheduled over Labor Day weekend when people are out of town, so more folks are able to attend! Q. What is a Debian Bug Squashing Party? A. A Debian Bug Squashing Party is an event where Debian developers and enthusiasts gather to fix bugs for an upcoming release. http://wiki.debian.org/BSP More information will be available soon on ubuntu-us-or(a)lists.ubuntu.com and debian-portland-soc(a)pdx.debian.net. Hope to see you there! -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
