This is going to be a real Ubuntu weekend. Not only is Ubuntu Global Jam kicking off today, but there is also Fix-It Friday going on and the Linaro/ARM teams are having an ARM Porting Jam.
If you always felt like getting more involved in Ubuntu, this weekend might be just the right opportunity.
The Ubuntu Global Jam page lists a number of events in all parts of the world, on the list of countries there are: Egypt, Tunisia, Bangladesh, Hong Kong, India, Malaysia, Myanmar, Australia, Czech Republic, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Slovenia, Spain, Canada, Mexico, USA, Brazil and Trinidad and Tobago. If you can’t find an event near you, check out the general Jam page to find a number of things you can get involved with in any case.
If you know the ARM architecture well and want to get involved, get in touch with the fine people organising the ARM Porting Jam.
