FYI.  We will definitely have to re-staff the High Council before then
as we'll be down to one councilor by this summer it seems.  Michael
Gilbert will need new collaborators going forward later this year on the
High Council. 

This event will not collide with Software Freedom Day this year as that
will fall on September 21, 2013.  We can shoot for various outreach
activities that day.  Picking a college campus or two to show
demonstrations of free software and have a limited amount of install
media may be worth it since Ohio has a ton of campuses:

There will be a collision with Ohio Linux Fest that weekend, though.  I
don't believe we've had any discussions yet to what presence we will
have at OLF in 2013, if any.  I would be more in favor exerting more
effort toward local outreach that weekend so that we seek more people to
join the many flavors of the Ubuntu story instead of pulling everybody
in from across the 17th largest state geographically to the capital to
preach to the choir.  This is a matter for open discussion.

Greetings Ubuntu World,

There will be Jam!

We are planning our next Ubuntu Global Jam (for the S series release) to
occur on:

    Friday September 13, 2013
    Saturday September 14, 2013
    Sunday September 15, 2013

Please mark your calendars and tell everyone you know to *start planning
now*. Please put a placeholder on your calendars and also at:

    http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/global/2315/

    (Friendly suggestion: Do not let other events or activities
    interfere with that weekend! Jam instead :)


Please reach out to people in your communities and think about what
you'd like to do at an event: Packaging, testing, translations,
documentation, advertising/marketing, building community through social
events... everything is welcome! No jam is too small. No idea is too
wacky... and jam tastes great! ;)

Good documentation about how to create a successful Global Jam event is
here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGlobalJam

A short video explaining the most basic steps is here:

With over 5 months of advance notice, we should be able to make this
Ubuntu Global Jam a really big and fun one! Can we set a record?

Thanks in advance for jamming.

Cheers,
Randall
Global Jam Buzz Guy.

PS: Now all we need is an adjective and an animal beginning with "S"
from our fearless leader. We wait...
