Global Bug Jam
Everybody knows what a great success UbuntuBugDay has been. Some LoCo teams have taken this even further: instead of just meeting on IRC, they made a party out of it and met locally to work on bugs together. We call this event the "Global Bug Jam". It is the classic Ubuntu Hug Day, taken to the next level, all around the world during one weekend. It's an opportunity for Local Teams to get together all around the world and concentrate on fixing bugs, meeting new people, and having a good time.
On the weekend of the 20 February to 22 February we'll do the same, globally!
How to do it
So you're interested and want to make the event ROCK in your LoCo?
You will probably need to organise a venue, promote the event in your local area, run the jam, and solicit feedback afterwards. We have a document called RunningBugJam that provides some help on how to do these things, with tips and tricks from other LoCos who have run jams in the past.
Check out GlobalBugJam.pdf - it's a one-page cheatsheet document. Print out a few and have a small stack of them at the venue (also check out our Bug Jam Material section).
Special planning:
- Ask locals early who's interested in the event
Ask what packages/kind of bugs your participants are interested in
- We will try to organise specialists for the event who can assist and help out via IRC
Need Help?
Is your team new to this? Don't worry, we'll have sessions for LoCo leaders and people interested in running bug jams for their LoCos. Show up to any of these sessions to get tips and best practices on how to run a successful event. These sessions will take place in #ubuntu-classroom on Freenode IRC. See this page for help with IRC.

Upstream Participation
We encourage upstream projects to piggyback on the Global Bug Jam and use this as an opportunity to work with Ubuntu and participate. Please list your project here and a point of contact and run your own jam along with us! If you're an Ubuntu participant and interested in working with a specific upstream project, add your name (or LoCo) to the last column.
Ubuntu bugsquad volunteers can help upstreams by triaging bugs for a specific project, file bugs upstream and link them to launchpad, and help upstreams triage their own bugs. Upstream point of contacts should be in #ubuntu-bugs as well to help coordinate/triage volunteers as the Jam takes place.
