As far as getting there it&#8217;s very close to BART (that&#8217;s how I&#8217;m getting there!).<\/p>\n<p>So, what&#8217;s a Global Jam anyway?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The <strong>Ubuntu Global Jam<\/strong> is an incredible opportunity for the Ubuntu community to unite together around the weekend of <strong>1st &#8211; 3rd April 2011<\/strong> 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. &#8212; <a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.ubuntu.com\/UbuntuGlobalJam\">Ubuntu Global Jam wiki page<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The first Beta release of Ubuntu 11.04 happens on March 31st (<a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.ubuntu.com\/NattyReleaseSchedule\">See full release schedule here<\/a>) and we&#8217;ll be focusing on Testing and Bugs during this Jam &#8211; but we&#8217;re welcoming everyone with an interest in contributing to Ubuntu to come by, ask questions, and work on whatever you&#8217;d like.<\/p>\n<p>For testing I&#8217;ll be burning some <a href=\"http:\/\/www.xubuntu.org\">Xubuntu<\/a> CDs and USB sticks for <a href=\"https:\/\/wiki.ubuntu.com\/Xubuntu\/Testing\/TestingInfo\/Short#Live%20CD%20session%20testing\">Xubuntu Live CD session testing<\/a> and we&#8217;ll be answering questions about the basics of Bug Triaging and Ubuntu involvement in general.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, they have my favorite pizza in the Bay Area. So even if you&#8217;re unsure about the Jam itself feel free to join us to just eat pizza and talk about Ubuntu!<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re not available Sunday, Jono Bacon is also hosting <a href=\"http:\/\/loco.ubuntu.com\/events\/team\/701\/detail\/\">one in Walnut Creek on Friday, April 1st<\/a>.
