Unfortunately not. I'm still a bit too busy to plan anything directly myself, but I'm happy to help out others. There's now a proposed date for the Ubuntu Global Jam in September: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/loco-contacts/2014-July/006717.html Details for what a Global Jam is: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuGlobalJam We did an ISO testing jam a couple years ago in SF: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CaliforniaTeam/Projects/QuantalGlobalJam There are some venue options I know of if someone wants to take a lead here. -- Elizabeth Krumbach Joseph || Lyz || pleia2 http://www.princessleia.com -- Ubuntu-us-ca mailing list Ubuntu-us-ca@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-us-ca
