[ubuntu-us-mi] Announce: Packaging Jam 2007 Information

[Rick Harding]

The guys in the Ubuntu LoCo have been tossing the idea around of
having a Packaging Jam. A day where guys get together and tackle the
learning curve required to take software and package it for Ubuntu.
I'm hosting the event at my place in Clarkston MI on Sat. Nov. 3rd.
The flyer attached has the information about the event. Make sure you
look at the requirements before responding that you'd like to attend.
The goal of this is to get a core group of guys that can then go out
and take what they learn to teach/help other groups of people. In
essence, to create our own Michigan MOTU goto team.
If you have any questions please feel free to let me know. I'll
actually hand out directions once we get the spots filled.
Please feel free to pass this along to anyone not on these two mailing
lists that you think could be a great packaging asset.
Thanks
Rick Harding

Ok, the groups lists didn't like me attaching the flyer. You can

That's a bummer. Well, the hope is that the people that attend this can go
forth and hold little mini-jams of their own. We'll have to get you hooked
up one way or another if you're interested in creating packages.

How much of a requirement is the laptop? Because I don't own one.

It's hard to say. The big thing is just the lack of space to setup a
desktop. I'd think it's best to be able to follow along, especially for the
first part where we all package gftp. After that, when we split into groups
it might not be a big deal.

So that was just a long way of saying, I don't know. Never done this
before. Feel free to sign up especially if you can get a buddy that will
let you look over his shoulder as we go through things.
