Hello again Ohioans,

The Ubuntu Global Jam[0] will be taking place this October from the
weekend of the 2nd - 4th (a week after OLF). We currently do not have
any events planned, however it would be great to get something going.
For the uninitiated:

> The Ubuntu Global Jam is an incredible opportunity for the Ubuntu community to unite together around the weekend of 2nd - 4th Oct 2009 to work together to improve Ubuntu. Everyone is able to contribute to the Jam, and everyone is welcome and encouraged to get involved. Curious about how to make a real difference to Ubuntu? This is a great chance to make that difference.

Themes that could apply to an Ubuntu Jam could be Testing, Bugs,
Packaging, Documentation, and Translation (though I'm not sure how
well that would apply here).

To participate in the Global Jam, a place to be is needed. This
location should have a decent Internet connection, otherwise you won't
be able to do much. We can have multiple locations if there is enough
interest.

I'll be somewhat unavailable that weekend, but might be on IRC. If
anyone in the central Ohio area wants to set something up, feel free
to. (Any OSU students on campus reading this? Might be able to find a
dorm location for a small event.)
This may be an opportunity for the Cleveland group to do something fun. ;)

Let's figure out a final location (or set of locations) and I'll add
Ohio to the Global Jam Events page.
