There’ll be an Ubuntu Global Jam on in TOG on Saturday 3rd September 2011, starting at about 10:00am. The event is open to members & non-members. It’s a chance to learn about how to contribute to ubuntu, both from bug fixes, testing, translations, documentation etc. It’s open to people of all skill levels.
If you were interested in Julie’s recent lightening talk about making your first open source contribution, then could be a practical introduction.
If you want to help work on ubuntu and already know how to do it, then you can come along and meet like minded people!
